Observation control for discrete-continuous stochastic systems

From MaRDI portal





The author considers a partially observable process \(\{x(t),y(t),z(t)\}\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^m\times \mathbb{R}^k\) satisfying the system of equations with controllable observations \[ \begin{aligned} dx(t)&= dA(t)x(t-)+d\xi_t, \quad x(0-)=x_0,\\ dy(t)&=\alpha\big(t,u(t),z(t)\big)x(t)v(t) dt+d\eta_t,\quad y(0)=y_0,\\ dz(t)&=f\big(t,u(t),z(t)\big)x(t)v(t) dt +G\big(t,u(t),z(t)\big)v(t) dt,\quad z(0)=z_0.\end{aligned} \] Here \(x\) is an unobservable process; \(y\) and \(z\) are observable control processes satisfying certain constrainst; \(A=A(t)\) is a matrix-valued function of the form \[ A(t)=\int_0^ta(s) ds+\sum_{\tau_i\leq t}\Delta A(\tau_i) \] with continuous \(a\) and finite number of jumps \(\Delta A(\tau_i)\); the initial state \(x_0\) (a Gaussian random variable), and the driving processes \(\xi\) and \(\eta\) (Gaussian martingales) are assumed to be mutually independent. The problem of the best estimation of the process \(x\) with discrete and continuous observations is reduced to a deterministic one with impulse or generalized control. An approach based on the discontinuous time transformation is presented and used to reduce the problem with impulsive control to one with bounded controls. The existence and description of an optimal generalized observation process are also discussed. The main novelty of the paper is that discontinuous observable processes are considered (and, therefore, the known continuous-case results cannot be applied because of the possible coincidence of jumps and observation moments).
