Abstract

We consider a weighted stationary spherical Boolean model in ℝd to which a Matérn-type thinning is applied. Assuming that the radii of the balls in the Boolean model have regularly varying tails, we establish the asymptotic behavior of the tail of the contact distribution of the thinned germ–grain model under four different thinning procedures of the original model.
