We consider the problem of fusion of multiple information sources, particularly in environments when the sensor observations are imprecise. The concept of a combinability relationship is introduced to enable the inclusion in the fusion process of information about the appropriateness of fusing diffe

โฆ Synopsis
For fixed positive integer k, let E n denote the set of lattice paths using the steps 1 1 , 1 -1 , and k 0 and running from 0 0 to n 0 while remaining strictly above the x-axis elsewhere. We first prove bijectively that the total area of the regions bounded by the paths of E n and the x-axis satisfies a four-term recurrence depending only on k. We then give both a bijective and a generating function argument proving that the total area under the paths of E n equals the total number of lattice points on the x-axis hit by the unrestricted paths running from 0 0 to n -2 0 and using the same step set as above. ๏ฃฉ 2002 Elsevier Science (USA)
