A model for spatial survival

Author

  • Finkelstein, M. S.

Abstract

This paper presents a general approach for analysing spatial survival in the plane. Two types of initial random events are considered: points with fixed coordinates and moving points. A small normally or tangentially oriented interval is moving along a fixed route in the plane, crossing points of initial Poisson random processes. Each crossing leads to the termination of the process with a given probability. The probability of passing the route without termination is derived. A safety at sea application is discussed.
