  • hermite spectral method to 1 d forward Kolmogorov Equation and its application to nonlinear filtering problems
    IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2013
    Co-Authors: Xue Luo, Stephen S.-t. Yau
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we investigate the Hermite spectral method (HSM) to numerically solve the forward Kolmogorov Equation (FKE). A useful guideline of choosing the scaling factor of the generalized Hermite functions is given in this paper. It greatly improves the resolution of HSM. The convergence rate of HSM to FKE is analyzed in the suitable function space and has been verified by the numerical simulation. As an important application and our primary motivation to study the HSM to FKE, we work on the implementation of the nonlinear filtering (NLF) problems with a real-time algorithm developed by S.-T. Yau and the second author in 2008. The HSM to FKE is served as the off-line computation in this algorithm. The translating factor of the generalized Hermite functions and the moving-window technique are introduced to deal with the drifting of the posterior conditional density function of the states in the on-line experiments. Two numerical experiments of NLF problems are carried out to illustrate the feasibility of our algorithm. Moreover, our algorithm surpasses the particle filters as a real-time solver to NLF.

  • Wavelet-Galerkin method for the Kolmogorov Equation
    Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 2004
    Co-Authors: Zhigang Liang, Stephen S.-t. Yau
    Abstract:

    It is well known that the Kolmogorov Equation plays an important role in applied science. For example, the nonlinear filtering problem, which plays a key role in modern technologies, was solved by Yau and Yau [1] by reducing it to the off-line computation of the Kolmogorov Equation. In this paper, we develop a theorical foundation of using the wavelet-Galerkin method to solve linear parabolic P.D.E. We apply our theory to the Kolmogorov Equation. We give a rigorous proof that the solution of the Kolmogorov Equation can be approximated very well in any finite domain by our wavelet-Galerkin method. An example is provided by using Daubechies D"4 scaling functions.

  • finite dimensional filters with nonlinear drift xi explicit solution of the generalized Kolmogorov Equation in brockett mitter program
    Advances in Mathematics, 1998
    Co-Authors: Shingtung Yau, Stephen S.-t. Yau
    Abstract:

    Abstract Ever since the technique of the Kalman–Bucy filter was popularized, there has been an intense interest in finding new classes of finite-dimensional recursive filters. In the late 1970s the concept of the estimation algebra of a filtering system was introduced. Brockett, Clark, and Mitter proposed to use the Wei–Norman approach to solve the nonlinear filtering problem. In 1990, Tam, Wong, and Yau presented a rigorous proof of the Brocket–Mitter program which allows one to construct finite-dimensional recursive filters from finite–dimensional estimation algebras. Later Yau wrote down explicitly a system of ordinary differential Equations and generalized Kolmogorov Equation to which the robust Duncan–Mortenser– Zakai Equation can be reduced. Thus there remains three fundamental problems in Brockett–Mitter program. The first is the problem of finding explicit solution to the generalized Kolmogorov Equation. The second is the problem of finding real-time solution of a system of ODEs. The third is the Brockett's problem of classification of finite–dimensional estimation algebras. In this paper, we solve the first problem.

  • Explicit solution of a Kolmogorov Equation
    Applied Mathematics and Optimization, 1996
    Co-Authors: S.-t. Yau, Stephen S.-t. Yau
    Abstract:

    Ever since the technique of the Kalman-Bucy filter was popularized, there has been an intense interest in finding new classes of finite-dimensional recursive filters. In the late seventies, the concept of the estimation algebra of a filtering system was introduced. It has been the major tool in studying the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai Equation. Recently the second author has constructed general finite-dimensional filters which contain both Kalman-Bucy filters and Benes filter as special cases. In this paper we consider a filtering system with arbitrary nonlinear drift f ( x ) which satisfies some regularity assumption at infinity. This is a natural assumption in view of Theorem 10 of [DTWY] in a special case. Under the assumption on the observation h( x )=constant, we propose writing down the solution of the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai Equation explicitly.
