THE CONSTRUCTION OF FILTERS IN NONLINEAR DETERMINISTIC SYSTEMS

The method of residuals (see, e.g. [1-31]) is used to serve the proble m of estimation when both object and observations involve noise, and t he input determination problem [3-5] is considered. These estimation p roblems are solved by minimizing a certain functional, and this in tur n involves solving a boundary-value problem at each instant of time. D epending on the recurrent method used to solve the relevant family of boundary-value problems, one obtains different representations of opti mal non-linear filters for the estimated quantities. The choice of a s pecific representation depends on the degree to which the object with whose help the filter is being designed is well conditioned. A locally optimal filter of a design similar to that of filters for linear prob lems is constructed.
