Abstract

The construction of formulas for sequentially computing solutions and a variance-covariance matrix with the bandtype system of observation equations, which is inherent in geodetic networks, is carried out; these formulas are illustrated with a simple numerical example in which the adjustment for the trilateration of triply coupled quadrilaterals is executed.
