Abstract: | To study sedimentary phenomena, we introduce random-genetic models in which genetic hypotheses and structural random elements occur for the main part. Starting from geologic hypotheses we choose principal factors which may be random functions or random variables. These factors are: depth, nature of the facies, sedimentation rate, and subsidence. Equations of evolution link the factors. Depth is a Markov process, but generally the resultant sequence does not make a Markov chain or Markov process. Three examples of such models are given with the results of simulations. |
