Finding a proper estimation method for ore resources/reserves is important in mining engineering. The aim of this work is to compare the Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Advanced Inverse Distance Squared (AIDS) methods based on the correlation between the raw and estimated data in the East-Parvadeh coal deposit, central Iran. The variograms and anisotropic ellipsoids are calculated to estimate the ash...

Let G be a strongly connected, weighted directed graph. We define a product distance η(i, j) for pairs i, j of vertices and form the corresponding product distance matrix. We obtain a formula for the determinant and the inverse of the product distance matrix. The edge orientation matrix of a directed tree is defined and a formula for its determinant and its inverse, when it exists, is obtained....

The theory of complex variables is used to solve analytically the transcendental equation which defines the position, as a function of time, in an inverse-distance-squared force field, and thereby the desired solution is reduced to elementary quadrature.

Inverse scale space methods are derived as asymptotic limits of iterative regularization methods. They have proven to be efficient methods for denoising of gray valued images and for the evaluation of unbounded operators. In the beginning, inverse scale space methods have been derived from iterative regularization methods with squared Hilbert norm regularization terms, and later this concept wa...

We propose using the Wasserstein loss for training in inverse problems. In particular, we consider a learned primal-dual reconstruction scheme for ill-posed inverse problems using the Wasserstein distance as loss function in the learning. This is motivated by miss-alignments in training data, which when using standard mean squared error loss could severely degrade reconstruction quality. We pro...

A study was designed to compare the performance of six spatial interpolation methods to estimate soil properties at unvisited points. These methods were global mean, moving average, nearest neighbour, inverse squared distance, Laplacian smoothing splines and ordinary point kriging. These methods were also applied in combination with a choropleth map (soil map) by stratifying the area. The soil ...

We use analytic techniques to study the gravitational force that would be produced by different Kuiper-Belt mass distributions. In particular, we study the 3-dimensional rings (and wedge) whose densities vary as the inverse of the distance, as a constant, as the inverse-squared of the distance, as well as which varies with the Boss-Peale model. These analytic calculations yield physical insight...
