Random tessellations associated with max-stable random fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: With any max-stable random process eta on mathcalX=mathbbZd or mathbbRd, we associate a random tessellation of the parameter space mathcalX. The construction relies on the Poisson point process representation of the max-stable process eta which is seen as the pointwise maximum of a random collection of functions Phi=phii,igeq1. The tessellation is constructed as follows: two points x,yinmathcalX are in the same cell if and only if there exists a function phiinPhi that realizes the maximum eta at both points x and y, i.e. phi(x)=eta(x) and phi(y)=eta(y). We characterize the distribution of cells in terms of coverage and inclusion probabilities. Most interesting is the stationary case where the asymptotic properties of the cells are strongly related to the ergodic properties of the non-singular flow generating the max-stable process. For example, we show that: i) the cells are bounded almost surely if and only if eta is generated by a dissipative flow, ii) the cells have positive asymptotic density almost surely if and only if eta is generated by a positive flow.
