Within a cost function, the control problem is formulated with a mechanical model that requires boundary conditions tosolve all equations. We give a characterization of the optimal measurement function for the tree trunk problem. %K Missing data %K Optimal control %K Tree trunk diameter %U http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84873437396&partnerID=40&md5=8d21e978cb83d1d03a28c3c4143cd73b %P 807-816
