On the length distribution of stochastic subarcs of a rectifiable arc
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
Suppose that A1, A2, · ··, An are disjoint subarcs of a rectifiable arc A ⊆ Rk. The location and length of each subarc are assumed to be continuous random variables. An expression for the expected fraction of A covered by subarcs each of length greater than τ ≧ 0 is obtained and applied to two conceptually distinct problems associated with light penetration of an absorbing medium.
