Abstract

An implementable on-line approach to solve the nonlinear filtering equation for a partially observed system in which both the state and observation processes are jump processes is presented. By making use of the special structure of jump processes, the new method allows us to obtain the solution of the resulting nonlinear filtering equation from solving a linear system of ordinary differential equations and a linear system of algebraic equations recursively and via a simple normalization procedure.
