3 Definition Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability Definition A real valued random field φ on (Ω, A, P) indexed by a metric space (M, d) is called separable, if there exists an at most countable subset S of M which is dense in (M, d), so that for all closed intervals C in R, and all open subsets O of M, {φ(x) C, x O} = {φ(x) C, x O S}. holds. Then S is called a separating set for φ.

4 Alternative definition Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability Lemma A real valued random field φ on (Ω, A, P) indexed by (M, d) is separable with separating set S if and only if one of the following equivalent statements holds : (S 1 ) For every open subset O in M, (S 1) For every x M, and and inf φ(y) = inf φ(x), y O S x O sup y O S φ(y) = sup φ(x) ; x O lim inf φ(y) = lim inf φ(x), y x, y S y x lim inf φ(y) = lim inf φ(x). y x, y S y x

5 Definitions Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability Let M be a compact of R d. (Or M = [ N, N] d, N N ) ; def D n = { k 2 n, k Zd} M, We define M the following norm : for all x, y M, def We will denote δ n = 1 2. n d(x, y) = def sup x i y i. i 1,...,d

6 Properties Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability We have and D n D n+1 D n ( 2 n diam(m) + 1 ) d, For x D n we define (δ n (= 1 2 n )) C n (x) = def {y D n, d(x, y) δ n }. We have the following upperbound C n (x) 3 d.

7 Separability Proving continuity without separability We define also Then def π n = {{x, y}, x, y D n, d(x, y) δ n }. π n D n sup x D n C n (x) ( 2 n diam(m) + 1 ) d 3 d. (D) For all n > 1 and x, y D n, there exists x, y D n+1 such that d(x, x ) δ n+1 et d(y, y ) δ n+1 ; d(x, y ) d(x, y).

8 Conditions for the random field Separability Proving continuity without separability We finally set D = n N D n, (C) there exist two nondecreasing functions q and r such that π n q(δ n ) < + (C 1 ) n=1 r(δ n ) < + (C 2 ) n=1 ( P φ(x) φ(y) r ( d(x, y) )) q ( d(x, y) ), (C 3 ) for all x, y M with d(x, y) < ρ.

9 Choice of r Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability We want r being "as big as possible", along the condition (C 2 ) : we choose (with ρ < 1 and α > 1) r(h) = def ( 1 ) α ( 1 ) α, = 0 < h < 1 (1) ln 2 (1/h) ln 2 (h) since then ( 1 ) ( r(δ n ) = r 2 n = 1 ln 2 (2 n ) ) α = 1 n α,

10 Choice of q Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability q(h) = h (1+β)d With we have q(δ n ) = 1 2 (1+β)dn and π n ( 2 n diam(m) + 1 ) d 3 d (6diam(M)) d 2 nd π n q(δ n ) (6diam(M)) d 2 nd 2 (1+β)dn = C 1 d (2 βd ) n since βd > 0, 2 βd > 1, leads to a convergent series.

11 Fundamental Lemma Continuity Separability Proving continuity without separability Lemma Under the conditions (D) and (C), there exists a set Ω Ω, P(Ω ) = 1, such that for all ω Ω there exists n(ω) N such that 1 for all n n(ω), max φ(x, ω) φ(y, ω) r(δ n ); (2) (x,y) π n 2 for all m n n(ω), and every x, y D m with d(x, y) δ n we have m φ(x, ω) φ(y, ω) 2 r(δ k ). (3) k=n

12 Separability Proving continuity without separability We can state the continuity with respect to the set D Proposition Under the conditions (D) and (C) there exists a set Ω Ω, P(Ω ) = 1, such that for all ω Ω the restriction of the function x φ(x, ω) to D is (uniformly) continuous.

13 Separability Proving continuity without separability Theorem Let φ be continuous in probability so that the conditions (D) and (C) hold. Then, there exists Ω Ω, P(Ω ) = 1, such that we have a uniformly sample continuous modification φ of φ such that φ = φ on D Ω. Lemma Suppose that the random field φ satisfies condition (C 3 ) with lim q(x) = lim r(x) = 0 x 0 x 0 (which is true, if the three conditions (C) are satisfied). Then φ is continuous in probability.

14 Continuity Let S n be a finite index set (size n n) associated with a random field Gaussian vector of size n 2, denoted by X. The covariance C is then a n 2 n 2 -matrix. We know that if Z is a Gaussian vector of size n 2, which the componants have i.i.d. normal distributions (a «white noise») and A is such that A 2 = C, then X has the same law as AZ.

15 Examples with Gaussian covariance The matlab function "simgauss(n)" computes a square of size (2 n + 1) (2 n + 1). We have the following duration times :» simgauss(2) ; Elapsed time is seconds.» simgauss(3) ; Elapsed time is seconds.» simgauss(4) ; Elapsed time is seconds.» simgauss(5) ; Elapsed time is seconds.

19 Examples with Gaussian covariance The time is not the only issue of the naïve algorithm :» simgauss(8) ; Requested 66049x66049 (32.5GB) array exceeds maximum array size preference. Creation of arrays greater than this limit may take a long time and cause MATLAB to become unresponsive. See array size limit or preference panel for more information.

20 Generalized Random Field We consider the complexification of the Schwartz space S(R d ) S C (R d ) = S(R d ) S(R d ) Let (Ω, F, P) be a probability space, and denote by L 0 K (P) the space of real-or complex valued random variables, with K = R or C. Definition A generalized random field on R d is a K -linear mapping where K = R or C. ϕ : S K (R d ) L 0 K (P)

21 Theorem (Minlos theorem) Let Ξ be a characteristic function on S(R d ), i.e. 1 Ξ is continuous in S(R d ), 2 Ξ is positive definite, 3 Ξ(0) = 1. Then there exists a unique probability measure µ on (S (R d ), σ w ), such that for all f S(R d ) e i ω,f dµ(ω) = Ξ(f ) S (R d ) i.e. Ξ(f ) is the Fourier transform of a countably additive positive normalized measure.

22 Generalized white noise Definition A generalized random field W on R d is called white noise, if its characteristic function is given by Ξ WN (f ) = e 1 2 f,f L 2 (R d ). Remark : A real-valued white noise on R d, is a linear mapping W : S(R d ) L 0 (Ω, F, P), where (Ω, F, P) is some probability space, so that the family {W (f ), f S(R d )} is a centered Gaussian family with Proposition Cov(W (f ), W (g)) = E[W (f )W (g)] = f, g L2 (R d ). W extends to an isometric embedding of L 2 (R d ) into L 2 (P).

23 Let ϕ be a generalized random field. We define operations via dual pairing : Definition 1 The Fourier transform F and its inverse F 1 are defined on ϕ via Fϕ(f ) := ϕ(f 1 f ) F 1 ϕ(f ) := ϕ(ff ) 2 If g C (R d ) with at most polynomial growth, then gϕ(f ) := ϕ(gf )

24 Construction of Stationary Gaussian Random Fields Let ϕ be a stationary, real-valued, centered Gaussian random field with covariance Cov(ϕ(f ), ϕ(g)) = f, Cg L2 (R d ), f, g S(Rd ) with C : S(R d ) L 2 (R d ). Assume that C is given by an integral kernel, which by stationarity can be written as Cf (x) = K (x y)f (y)dy, R d where K is even because of the symmetry of C, and positive definite.

25 Hence if K is continuous, K (x) = e 2πixp dγ(p) (Böchner Theorem) We assume that Γ has a density γ which is supposed to be strictly positive and smooth. Then γ 1 2 is a strictly positive smooth root of γ. We set ϕ(f ) := (F 1 γ 1 2 FW )(f ), f S(R d ).

26 Discrete Fourier transform N 1,..., N d will represent even positive integers. For all u = (u 1,..., u d ) d i=1 0, N i 1 : ( ) 1 F N1,...,N d (f )(u) := e 2iπ u 1 k u d k d N 1 N d f (k 1,..., k d ). N 1 N d 0 k 1 N k d N d 1 (4) We will denote by F(N S i ) the "symmetric" discrete Fourier transform ( ) FN S 1 1,...,N d (g)(v) := e 2iπ v 1 k v d k d N 1 N d g(k 1,..., k d ). N 1 N d N 1 2 k 1 N N d 2 k d N d 2 1

27 d sym (Ni ) : i=1 0, N i d i=1 N i, N i 2 [ 2 yi = x (x i ) (y i ) with i if x i 0, N i 1 2 y i = x i N i if x i N i, N 2 (6) and, conversely, sym 1 (N i ) : d i=1 N i 2, N i 2 d i=1 0, N [ i xi = y (y i ) (x i ) with i if y i 0, N i 1 2 x i = y i + N i if y i N i, 0 2 (7) So, while working on a function c : d i=1 N i will use the function 2, N i 2 1 R, we c(x) := c ( sym (Ni ) (x)), d x 0, N i. i=1

28 Lemma F S (N i ) (f )(x) = F (N i )(f sym (Ni ) )(sym 1 (N i ) (x)). We can state the lemma on which will be built the algorithm : Lemma Let E =: d i=1 0, N i, h : E C and (A p ) p E, (B q ) q E be two independent white noises. The centered Gaussian Random field indexed on d i=1 0, N i defined by 2 ( G(x) := R F 1 (N i ) ( (A + ib)h ) (x) ) (8) has the following covariance function : ( E [G(x)G(y)] = R F 1 ( ) h 2) (N i ) (sym 1 (N i ) (y x)) (9)

29 Lemma F S (N i ) (f )(x) = F (N i )(f sym (Ni ) )(sym 1 (N i ) (x)). We can state the lemma on which will be built the algorithm : Lemma Let E =: d i=1 0, N i, h : E C and (A p ) p E, (B q ) q E be two independent white noises. The centered Gaussian Random field indexed on d i=1 0, N i defined by 2 ( G(x) := R F 1 (N i ) ( (A + ib)h ) (x) ) (8) has the following covariance function : ( E [G(x)G(y)] = R F 1 ( ) h 2) (N i ) (sym 1 (N i ) (y x)) (9)

30 Heuristic of the Algorithm Let c : (R n ) 2 R be a (continuous) covariance function (i.e. symmetric definite positive) and we assume that function to be stationary (i.e. invariant with respect to translation). Notation : c(h) := c(0, h), h R n. 1 This last function, according to a consequence of the Böchner s Theorem has a real positive valued Fourier s transform. 2 On the other hand, if c has a compact support, or if its tails norm decrease sufficiently fast to 0, the fast Fourier transform can be seen as an approximation of its Fourier s transform.

31 Using those two facts, we can consider that the values of the discrete Fourier transform of c are real and (close to being) positive and, with h(x) := F (Ni )(c)(x) R +, the Lemma 5 provides a Gaussian Random Field with covariance c ( E [G(x)G(y)] = R F 1 ( ) h 2) (N i ) (y x) ( = R F 1 (N i )( F(Ni )(c) ) ) (y x) = R ( c(x y) ) Remark = c(x y) = c(x, y). In the general case (i.e. F (Ni )(c)(x) R, because of the symmetry of c) we have ( E [G(x)G(y)] = R F 1 (N i )( F (Ni )(c) ) ) (y x).

32 Unidimensional case Continuity The idea is to approximate N values in [ 1 2, 1 2 ] of a Fourier transform of a function f (assuming that the function of interest has negligible values outside of [ 1 2, 1 2 ]) by e i x N y f (y) dy, x N 2, N 2 1. (10) then by 1 N F s N (f N)(x) def = 1 N N 2 1 k= N 2 e ix k N fn (k) (11) (with f N (k) = def f ( k N )).

33 Error quantification Continuity Proposition Let N 2N, c : E C and (A p ) p E, (B q ) q E be two independent white noises. The centered Gaussian Random field indexed on 0, N 2 defined by ( G(x) := R F 1 (N i )( (A + ib) FN (c)(x) ) ) (x) (12) has a covariance function c G such that, for all x, y 0, N 2, c(x, y) c G (x, y) 2n N (ε c + ε N ) (13) where n N stands for the numbers of x such that F N (c)(x) < 0 and with ε c such that [ sup ] ] e i2πxy c(y) dy ε c. x 1 2, 1 2 [ R\ 1 2, 1 2

40 Example, the exponential covariance case : error (p=1, N=10000) #

41 The compact support case When the covariance function has a compact support included in [ 1 2, 1 2 ], the speed can be improved (especially when the derivatives are uniformly bounded), since we have for some p N, if c is a C p function, e i x N y f (y) dy 1 N F s N (f N)(x) = R N,p N 2p+1 (2p + 1) with R n,p M 2p B 2p+1(t) dt.

42 The multidimensional case We consider a continuous covariance function c : R 2 R belonging to L 1 (R 2 ). Let ε c be such that R 2 \[ 1 2, 1 2 ]2 c(u, v) du dv ε c.

If we already have a set of points, we can make a Voronoï partition For each point p of the surface S, the Voronoï cell V (p) of p is the set of the points closer to p than any other points of S. The Voronoï partition V (S) is the partition made by the Voronoï cells.

58 Conclusion and perspective Medical framework Example of non-stationary gaussian random field Quantification of the error and combination of Gaussian stationary random fields (with related "well chosen" functions belonging to the algebra generated by smooth functions with compact support) provide an easy to use and interesting modelisation tool, at least in the medical field in which we had to work. We are working now with a combination of stationary random fields with multiplicative functions taken in wavelet basis.
