Spatiotemporal Interpolation for Environmental Modelling
A variation of the reduction-based approach to spatiotemporal interpolation (STI), in which time is treated independently from the spatial dimensions, is proposed in this paper. We reviewed and compared three widely-used spatial interpolation techniques:

Redshift Weights for Baryon Acoustic Oscillations : Application to Mock Galaxy Catalogs [PDF]
Large redshift surveys capable of measuring the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) signal have proven to be an effective way of measuring the distance-redshift relation in cosmology. Building off the work in Zhu et al.

Distances in Weighted Trees and Group Inverse of Laplacian Matrices [PDF]
Formulas are given for group inverses of Laplacians of weighted trees. A relationship between entries of the group inverse and various distance functions on trees is highlighted. In particular, it is shown that the maximal and minimal entries on the diagonal of the group inverse correspond to certain pendant vertices of the tree and to a centroid of ...
