and Applied Analysis 3 We make the following assumptions. A1 W t, z ∈ C1 R × R2N,R is 1-periodic in t. W t, 0 0 for all t ∈ R. There exist constants c1 > 0 and μ > 2 such that Wz t, z z ≥ c1|z| for t, z ∈ R × R2N. A2 there exist c2, r > 0 such that |Wz t, z | ≤ c2|z|μ−1 for t ∈ R and |z| ≤ r. A3 there exist c3, R ≥ r and p ≥ μ such that |Wz t, z | ≤ c3|z|p−1 for t ∈ R and |z| ≥ R. A4 there exis...

" Kriging " (after the South African mining engineer Danie Krige) is a term used for a family of methods for minimum error variance estimation. Consider a linear estimatê z 0 = ˆ z(r 0) at a location r 0 based on N measurements z = [z(r 1),. .. , z(r N)] T = [z 1 ,. .. , z N ] T ˆ z 0 = w 0 + N i=1 w i z i = w 0 + w T z, (1) where w i are the weights applied to z i. We consider z i as particula...
