On a Problem of Cox Concerning Point Processes in $R^k$ of "Controlled Variability"

Abstract

Suppose that the $k$-dimensional lattice points are displaced independently of each other with the same probability distribution. Denote by $\operatorname{Var} N(A)$ the variance of the number of displaced points contained in the set $A$. The asymptotic behaviour of $\operatorname{Var} N(A)$ is determined for large convex $A$'s.
