To prove Theorem B.5 in the subsequent Appendix B.2.4, we first need to prove another theorem from Gaufi. Suppose we are given two fimctions / (x, y) and g (x, y). We assume both / (x, y) and g (x, y) as well as their first derivatives to be continuous in a simply connected domain D where D is bounded by a piece-wise continuous curve C. Specifically we assume D to bo roprosonted by the set... 

Using Gaufi s theorem [see Eg. (B.27)] we may rewrite the original integral...

If we are again moving with the velocity v, then a Gaufi distribution will arise that broadens in time. Often this behavior is addressed that the particle flows away or melts in time. Thus, we are finding in the stochastic mechanics a very similar situation to that in comparison to the quantum mechanics. The concepts of the position and the momentum must be revisited and replaced by a new concept. In stochastic mechanics, we can reasonably justify that a particle never can be observed in an isolated manner. Here an interaction with other particles in the neighborhood appears. This interaction cannot be described by a deterministic method. Therefore, we chose a statistic description of the motion. Quantum mechanics starts with certain postulates that cannot be justified in detail. The success of the method defends it, even when the vividness suffers. 

In the following section the two-epoch—model (17) will be extended to a number of n epochs, in these always p points will be observed. With respect to the set of points X the model of a axial movement is a (n—1)—lined recurrent Gaufi—Helmert—Model... 

This model contains in a notlinear connection the observed coordinates X( i) of each epoch, the parameter of the axis a = (ax,ay,az) and r = (rx,ry,rz) and between the consecutive epochs i and i+1 the parameter of each epoch the rotation around the axis i,i+i) and the translation along the axis T( i,i+D. Because of the complex form of the Gaufi—Helmert—Model (adjustment of condition equations with unknowns) the axial parameters will be estimated in the certainly simplier Gaufi—Markofi-Model (adjustment of observation equations). In order to change in this model the coordinates X(d of the first epoch (or an other optional epoch) as extra observation equations we shall say... 

It is simply Gaufi-Newton process of stationary solution of non-linear system. Unfortunately, the estimated points positions are in general stochastically biased quantities, because on the whole expected value (rfc) is the error of interpolative polynomial. But if we had assumed, that is a certain moment tk of synchronized observations in the whole network, then k = tk) would be an error of observation, for which the assumption E ek = 0 was adequate. Biased estimators are therefore the cost that we bear when we decide on kinematic network model with a system of non synchronic observations. 

For a long time geodesists have been very well versed in handling networks. In almost all countries the ordnance survey is based on a triangulation network. Between the points of a geodetic network directions and distances are measured or the points are used for a photogrammetric analysis (Gaufi 1887 Linkwitz 1961 Baarda 1968). 

The least-squares problem has been solved by a generalized Gaufi -Newton method [26,53]. The algorithm of the inverse problem of kinetic parameter identification is available as a code called PARFIT. Nowak and Deuflhard [27] have developed a software package PARKIN for the identification of kinetic parameters. 

It should be noted that one does not use the improved values until after a complete iteration, within this method. In the closely related Gaufi-Seidel method, the values are used as soon as they are computed. One then has... 

The numerical solution of the projection step can be computed iteratively by a Gaufi-Newton method, see also Ch. 7.2.2. There, a nonlinear constrained least squares problem is solved iteratively. The nonlinear functions are linearized about the current iterate and the problem is reduced to a sequence of linear constrained least squares problems. 

On the other hand for not stiffly accurate methods, like Gaufi methods, one can modify the method by projecting the numerical solution onto... 

Example 5.4.2 We discretize the linearized constrained truck with a 3-stage Gaufi method and a 3-stage Radau IIA method. The eigenvalues of the discrete-time transfer matrix with... 

The order of implicit Runge-Kutta methods is different for y and A components in index-2 problems. For the two most important collocation methods we give order results in Tab. 5.4. Applying projection to the Gaufi method in order to force that the numerical result is on the constraint manifold increases the order, so that the accuracy of the y variable corresponds to the order of the method in the explicit ODE case. 

The constrained nonlinear least squares system 7.2.1 can be solved iteratively by a Gaufl-Newton method (Step 4). This will be discussed in the next section. Gaufi-Newton methods as well as other modern optimization methods require derivatives of the objective function and constraints with respect to the unknowns, i.e. the computation of so-called sensitivity matrices. Their evaluation will be discussed in Sec. 7.2.3.

By comparing (7.2.4) with (7.2.5) the convergence properties of the Gaufi-Newton method can be related to those of Newton s method. In (7.2.4) the second deriva-tives missing. As a consequence of Assumption 7.1.1... 

This can also be seen when considering Theorem 3.4.1 for the case of Gaufi-Newton methods ...
