  • "This book addresses the mathematics of Kalman-Bucy filtering and is designed for readers who are well versed in the practice of Kalman-Bucy filters but are interested in the mathematics on which they are based. The main topic in this book is the continuous-time Kalman-Bucy filter. Although the discrete-time Kalman filter results were obtained first, the continuous-time results are important when dealing with systems developing in time continuously; they are thus more appropriately modeled by differential equations than by difference equations. Confining attention to the Kalman-Bucy filter, the mathematics needed consists mainly of operations in Hilbert spaces. A relatively complete treatment of mean square calculus is given, leading to a discussion of the Wiener-Levy process. This is followed by a treatment of the stochastic differential equations central to the modeling of the Kalman-Bucy filtering process. The mathematical theory of the Kalman-Bucy filter is then introduced, and with the aid of a theorem of Liptser and Shiryayev, new light is shed on the dependence of the Kalman-Bucy estimator on observation noise."
  • "Since their introduction in the mid 1950s, the filtering techniques developed by Kalman, and by Kalman and Bucy have been widely known and widely used in all areas of applied sciences. Starting with applications in aerospace engineering, their impact has been felt not only in all areas of engineering but also in the social sciences, biological sciences, medical sciences, as well as all other physical sciences. Despite all the good that has come out of this devel opment, however, there have been misuses because the theory has been used mainly as a tool or a procedure by many applied workers without them fully understanding its underlying mathematical workings. This book addresses a mathematical approach to Kalman-Bucy filtering and is an outgrowth of lectures given at our institutions since 1971 in a sequence of courses devoted to Kalman-Bucy filters. The material is meant to be a theoretical complement to courses dealing with applications and is designed for students who are well versed in the techniques of Kalman-Bucy filtering but who are also interested in the mathematics on which these may be based. The main topic addressed in this book is continuous-time Kalman-Bucy filtering. Although the discrete-time Kalman filter results were obtained first, the continuous-time results are important when dealing with systems developing in time continuously, which are hence more appropriately mod eled by differential equations than by difference equations. On the other hand, observations from the former can be obtained in a discrete fashion."
