Hello yves,
quickly rereading the book of Bourbon, and yours “Navigation aux Astres et aux Satellites par La methode du plan des sommets”, I cannot find information about:
- Cdt Paoli trigonometric method, which is fully analytics for n>=3 and integrates the vessel movement
- Van Katwijck method, which is between Kaplan and Metcalf methods (1981)
Could you, please Yves give us some information.
I know Villarceau, Bodenez, Dozier, Kotlaric, ...
Best regards,
More SR methods:

Hello Andrés and Others,
Nice diagram ! Could be compared to the synoptics of Philippe Bourbon in his book, with hypotheses dispatched differently.
"La Navigation astronomique: fondements, applications, perspectives" Institut Oceanographique 2000, IBSN 2-903581-24-X
Many other methods are worth to be taken into account. Noticeably:
- Cdt Paoli trigonometric method, which is fully analytics for n>=3 and integrates the vessel movement
- Yvon-Villarceau who was the first to convert the observation data into linear equations (1877), waiting for matrix solution
- Georges Bodenez method, which pionieered the matrix approach on 1976-1977 (one century after Yvon-Villarceau!)
- Van Katwijck method, which is between Kaplan and Metcalf methods (1981)
...
(not to mention recent methods like Dozier, Kotlaric, Hounau, Gery...)
Regards, YRJ
