      A state is said to be diffuse if its covariance matrix is arbitrarily large. Using a modified form of the Kalman filter, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of diffuse constructs are obtained. Applications to likelihood evaluation, diffuse prediction and diffuse smoothing are given.
