Algebraic Structure and Finite Dimensional Nonlinear Estimation.

Abstract

The algebraic structure of certain classes of nonlinear systems is exploited in order to prove that the optimal estimators for these systems are recursive and finite-dimensional. These systems are represented by certain Volterra series expansions or by bilinear systems with nilpotent Lie algebras. In addition, an example is presented, and the steady-state estimator for this example is discussed.
