02909 Stochastic Geometry
Danish title: Stokastisk geometri
Language:  English    ECTS-creditpoints:  5   
Type:  course at phd level, open university
Program:  Mathematics
Class schedule:   Forår
The course is given when there is sufficient interest.
Exam schedule:   No exam
Scope and form:  Lectures by participants, and possibly by invited guest speakers. Computer exercises.
Evaluation:  Oral presentation and approval of coursework
Examination:  Pass/fail
Aim:  The course introduces the student to the fundamentals of stochastic geometry, with special emphasis on point processes, and thus enables the student to perform independent research in the application of the field.
Contents:  The homogenous Poisson process. General point processes in Euclidean spaces. Special point process models (Cox processes, Neyman-Scott processes, Hard Core processes, Gibbs processes). Random closed sets. Random measures. The course discusses analysis, simulation, and inference. Further topics are taken from recent literature on stochastic geometry, or on its applications to the special fields of the participants.
