Asymptotic behavior of the Dirichlet energy on Poisson point clouds

Abstract

We prove that quadratic pair interactions for functions defined on planar Poisson clouds and taking into account pairs of sites of distance up to a certain (large-enough) threshold can be almost surely approximated by the multiple of the Dirichlet energy by a deterministic constant. This is achieved by scaling the Poisson cloud and the corresponding energies and computing a compact discrete-to-continuum limit. In order to avoid the effect of exceptional regions of the Poisson cloud, with an accumulation of sites or with "disconnected sites", a suitable "coarse-grained" notion of convergence of functions defined on scaled Poisson clouds must be given.
