Using a representation formula expressing the mixed cumulants of realvalued random variables by corresponding moments, sufficient conditions are given for the normal convergence of suitably standardized shot noise assuming that the generating stationary point process is independently marked and Brillinger mixing and that its intensity tends to ∞. Furthermore, estimates for the rate of this normal convergence are obtained by exploiting a general lemma on probabilities of large deviations and on the rate of normal convergence.

For a stationary point process X of convex particles in ℝd the projected thick section process X(L) on a q-dimensional linear subspace L is considered. Formulae connecting geometric functionals, e.g. the quermass densities of X and X(L), are presented. They generalize the classical results of Miles (1976) and Davy (1976) which hold only in the isotropic case.

The second-moment structure of an estimator V*(t) of the variance-time curve V(t) of a weakly stationary point process is obtained in the case where the process is Poisson. This result is used to establish the weak convergence of a class of estimators of the form Tβ (V*(tTα ) – V(tTα )), 0 < α < 1, to a non-stationary Gaussian process. Similar results are shown to hold when α = 0 and in the case where V(tTα ) is replaced by a suitable estimator.

Consider a real-valued discrete-time stationary and ergodic stochastic process, called the noise process. For each dimension n, we can choose a stationary point process in ℝn and a translation invariant tessellation of ℝn. Each point is randomly displaced, with a displacement vector being a section of length n of the noise process, independent from point to point. The aim is to find a point process and a tessellation that minimizes the probability of decoding error, defined as the probability that the displaced version of the typical point does not belong to the cell of this point. We consider the Shannon regime, in which the dimension n tends to ∞, while the logarithm of the intensity of the point processes, normalized by dimension, tends to a constant. We first show that this problem exhibits a sharp threshold: if the sum of the asymptotic normalized logarithmic intensity and of the differential entropy rate of the noise process is positive, then the probability of error tends to 1 with n for all point processes and all tessellations. If it is negative then there exist point processes and tessellations for which this probability tends to 0. The error exponent function, which denotes how quickly the probability of error goes to 0 in n, is then derived using large deviations theory. If the entropy spectrum of the noise satisfies a large deviations principle, then, below the threshold, the error probability goes exponentially fast to 0 with an exponent that is given in closed form in terms of the rate function of the noise entropy spectrum. This is obtained for two classes of point processes: the Poisson process and a Matérn hard-core point process. New lower bounds on error exponents are derived from this for Shannon's additive noise channel in the high signal-to-noise ratio limit that hold for all stationary and ergodic noises with the above properties and that match the best known bounds in the white Gaussian noise case.

Some relationships are derived between the asynchronous and partially synchronous counting and interval processes associated with a multivariate stationary point process. A few examples are given to illustrate some of these relationships.

Starting with a stationary point process on the line with points one unit apart, simultaneously replace each point by a point located uniformly between the original point and its right-hand neighbor. Iterating this transformation, we obtain convergence to a limiting point process, which we are able to identify. The example of the uniform distribution is for purposes of illustration only; in fact, convergence is obtained for almost any distribution on [0, 1]. In the more general setting, we prove the limiting distribution is invariant under the above transformation, and that for each such transformation, a large class of initial processes leads to the same invariant distribution. We also examine the covariance of the limiting sequence of interval lengths. Finally, we identify those invariant distributions with independent interval lengths, and the transformations from which they arise.
