Abstract
Let P be a realization of a homogeneous Poisson point process in ℝ
d with density 1. We prove that there exists a constant k
d , 1d d . In particular, we prove that k
2 213. Our analysis establishes and exploits a close connection between the k-nearest neighborhood graphs of a Poisson point set and classical percolation theory. We give simulation results which suggest k
2=3. We also obtain similar results for finite random point sets. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
