Abstract

Estimation algebras have been extensively studied in Euclidean space, where finite-dimensional estimation algebras form the foundation of the Kalman and Benes filters, and have contributed to the discovery of many other finite-dimensional filters. This work extends the theory of estimation algebras to filtering problems on Riemannian manifolds in continuous time. Our main result demonstrates that, with non-constant observation functions, the estimation algebra associated with the system on closed Riemannian manifolds is infinite-dimensional.
