Abstract
The problem of the convergence of the collocation solution to the true gravity field was defined long ago (Tscherning in Boll Geod Sci Affini 39:221–252, 1978) and some results were derived, in particular by Krarup (Boll Geod Sci Affini 40:225–240, 1981). The problem is taken up again in the context of the stochastic interpretation of collocation theory and some new results are derived, showing that, when the potential T can be really continued down to a Bjerhammar sphere, we have a quite general convergence property in the noiseless case. When noise is present in data, still reasonable convergence results hold true. “Democrito che ’l mondo a caso pone” “Democritus who made the world stochastic” Dante Alighieri, La Divina Commedia, Inferno, IV – 136I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
