Abstract

Cascade models of random processes and fields are extensively used in mathematical modeling of various objects and phenomena. This paper treats of properties of bounded cascade models on a plane as well as their one-dimensional distributions and correlation structure. The results obtained are helpful in analyzing the suitability of cascade models for solving various practical problems.
