Airborne laser scanning (ALS)-based forest inventories are being increasingly used. The two main approaches in deriving forest information from small-footprint laser scanner data are the area-based and individual tree detection (ITD) methods. In the present study we test the accuracies of an area-based k-nearest neighbour (k-NN)-method and ITD with a practical low-pulse density (1.8/m) ALS data...

in hilbert space l2(rn), we prove the equivalence between the mod-ulus of smoothness and the k-functionals constructed by the sobolev space cor-responding to the fourier transform. for this purpose, using a spherical meanoperator.

This paper considers the problem of estimating a high-dimensional vector of parameters θ ∈ R from a noisy observation. The noise vector is i.i.d. Gaussian with known variance. For a squared-error loss function, the James-Stein (JS) estimator is known to dominate the simple maximum-likelihood (ML) estimator when the dimension n exceeds two. The JS-estimator shrinks the observed vector towards th...

In this paper we study the average distance in weighted graphs. More precisely, we consider assignments of families of non-negative weights to the edges. The aim is to maximise (minimise, respectively) the average distance in the resulting weighted graph. Two variants of the problem are considered depending on whether the collection of weights is fixed or not. The main results of this paper are...

Consider a graph G with |V (G)| = p and |E(G)| q let f : V (G) → {k, k + 1, 2, . − 1}} be an injective function. The induced edge labeling ∗ for vertex is defined by (e) all e uv ∈ E(G) bijective. If f(V (G)) ∪ {f E(G)} , 1}, then called k-super cube root mean labeling. such exists, graph. In this paper, I introduce prove the existence of to graphs viz., triangular snake Tn, double D(Tn), Quadr...
