Abstract

 

In engineering, especially in Surveying Engineering, network adjustment is made to find out the definite values of the unknows and the measurements. Generally Least Square method is used for vertical network adjustment. By using Linear Goal Programming method, as opposed to the Least Squares method used in network adjustment, similar results are reached. By this study, Linear Goal Programming method, proposed as an alternative method to Least Squares  method for network adjustment, is explained with an example, and results are compared. Results, found by using these two methods, are close to each other. It is shown that Linear Goal Programming methods can be used in vertical network adjustment.

 

Key words: Linear goal programming, least squares, network adjustment.
