Abstract Laplace type problems for different lattices have been considered intensively in the recent years. Particularly, in paper [6] the authors consider a Laplace type problem for a trapezoidal lattice with rectangle body test. In this paper we consider a lattice with fundamental cell composed by a trapezium as for the first time we consider as body test a random rectangle not uniformly distributed. We compute the probability that a random rectangle of constant sides intersects the a side of lattice when the position of the rectangle is a random variable with exponential and γ () distribution.

1596 Giuseppe Caristi et al. 1 Introducion In [1], [], [3], [4], [5] and [6] the authors consider several different Buffon- Laplace type problems. Starting from the results obtained by Caristi and Ferrara in [5] where for the first time the authors considered together with the traditional Buffon type problem also the different cases for the deformations of the considered lattice. Caristi and Molica Bisci [6] extended this method to a stochastic geometric problem on a circle. In [] Laplace type problems for a triangular lattice have been considered but the authors focused their attention considering different testing bodies on the same network and in the same time. In [1] the authors studied the problem of the different bodies test but considering different lattice with axial symmetry. Now, considering a fundamental cell composed by a trapezium we consider as body test a random rectangle not uniformly distributed. In fact we solve a Laplace type problem considering a random body test distributed according to an exponential distribution and in according to a γ() distribution. Main Results Let R (a, b; α) be a lattice with the fundamental cell C an trapezium with sides a < b and π 4 α π 3 By fig. 1 we have that: fig.1 areac = (b a ) tgα. (1) 4
Laplace type problem with non-uniform distribution 1597 Theorem 1 The probability that a random rectangle r of constant sides l, m with < m l < a intersects a side of the lattice R is: P int = (b a ) tgα f (ϕ) dϕ {(a + b) (l sin ϕ + m cos ϕ) + (b a) tgα (l cos ϕ + m sin ϕ) l [sin α sin ϕ + (1 + cos α) (1 cos ϕ)] sin α m sin ϕ + lm sin α [cos ϕ (1 + cos α) sin ϕ] + 3 } lm f (ϕ) dϕ, () where ϕ is the angle formed by the side of lenght l of the rectangle r with the line BC (or AD), the position of r is determined by its center and by the angle ϕ. Proof. We consider the limiting positions of r, for a specified value of ϕ, in the cell C. We obtain fig. and the formula By fig. we have: fig. 1 areaĉ (ϕ) = areac 4lm areaa i (ϕ).

Denoting by M the set of all the rectangles r which have their center in the cell C. We denote by N the set of the all rectangles r completely contained in C. In view of [8], we get:
Laplace type problem with non-uniform distribution 1599 P int = 1 µ (N) µ (M), (5) where µ is the Lebesgue measure in Euclidean plane. To compute the above measures we use the Poincaré kinematic measure [7]: dk = dx dy dϕ, where x, y are the coordinates of the center of r and ϕ the angle already defined. Considering that the direction of r is a random variable with density of probability f (ϕ), we have: µ (M) = f (ϕ) dϕ dxdy = {(x,y) C } (areac ) f (ϕ) dϕ = areac f (ϕ) dϕ, (6) and then µ (N) = f (ϕ) dϕ {(x,y) Ĉ(ϕ)} areac dxdy = f (ϕ) dϕ ( ) areaĉ (ϕ) f (ϕ) dϕ = { 1 (a + b) (l sin ϕ + m cos ϕ) + (b a) tgα (l cos ϕ + m sin ϕ) l m [sin α sin ϕ+ (1 + cos α) (1 cos ϕ)] sin ϕ+ sin α lm 4 sin α [cos ϕ (1 + cos α) sin ϕ] + 3 } 4 lm f (ϕ) dϕ, (7) P int = (b a ) tgα f (ϕ) dϕ {(a + b) (l sin ϕ + m cos ϕ) + (b a) tgα (l cos ϕ + m sin ϕ) l sin α [sin α sin ϕ + (1 + cos α) (1 cos ϕ)] m sin ϕ+ lm sin α [cos ϕ (1 + cos α) sin ϕ] + 3 } lm f (ϕ) dϕ.

(9) e ϕ sin ϕdϕ = 1 1 e α (sin α + cos α), e ϕ cos ϕdϕ = 1 + 1 e α (sin α cos α), (1) and e ϕ sin ϕdϕ = 1 5 [ e α (sin α + cos α) ] e ϕ cos ϕdϕ = 1 5 [ 1 + e α ( sin α cos α) ]. (11) Replacing in (9) the relations (1) and (11) we obtain the following: Theorem The probability that a random rectangle r of constant sides l, m with < m l < a and distributed according to the exponential distribution, intersects a side of the lattice R is: P int = (b a ) tgα (1 e α ) { 1 [l (a + b) + m (b a) tgα] [ 1 e α (sin α + cos α) ] + 1 [m (a + b) + l (b a) tgα] [ 1 + e α (sin α cos α) ] + 1 5 [ e α (sin α + cos α) ] + 1 5 ( 1 + cos α sin α l + 1 sin α lm [ 1 + e α ( sin α cos α) ] + 3 lm ( 1 e α)}.
