Popis: We study the ability of COBE-normalized CDM models to reproduce observed properties of the distribution of galaxies and clusters using N-body numerical simulations. We analyze the galaxy-galaxy and cluster-galaxy two-point correlation functions, $\xi_{gg}$ and $\xi_{cg}$, in open ($\Omega_{0}=0.4, \Omega_{\Lambda}=0, \sigma_8=0.75$), and flat ($\Omega_{0}=0.3, \Omega_{\Lambda}=0.7, \sigma_8=1.05$) CDM models which both reproduce the observed abundances of rich clusters of galaxies. To compare models with observations we compute projected cross-correlation functions $\omega_{gg}$ and $\omega_{cg}$ to derive the corresponding $\xi_{gg}$ and $\xi_{cg}$. We use target galaxies selected from Las Campanas Redshift Survey, target clusters selected from the APM Cluster Survey and tracer galaxies from the Edinburgh Durham Sky Survey catalog.
