When the regressors of a econometric linear model are nonorthogonal, it is well known that their estimation by ordinary least squares can present various problems that discourage the use of this model. The ridge regression is the most…

Weighted least squares polynomial approximation uses random samples to determine projections of functions onto spaces of polynomials. It has been shown that, using an optimal distribution of sample locations, the number of samples required…

We study the minimum \emph{Monitoring Edge Geodetic Set} (\megset) problem introduced in [Foucaud et al., CALDAM'23]: given a graph $G$, we say that an edge is monitored by a pair $u,v$ of vertices if \emph{all} shortest paths between $u$…
