Abstract

We study the transformation of a non-stationary point process ξ on ℝn into a weakly stationary point process ͂ξ, with ͂ξ(B) = ξ(Φ-1(B)), where B is a Borel set, via a deformation Φ of the space ℝn. When the second-order measure is regular, Φ is uniquely determined by the homogenization equations of the second-order measure. In contrast, the first-order homogenization transformation is not unique. Several examples of point processes and transformations are investigated with a particular interest to Poisson processes.
