Abstract

Taking a deterministic viewpoint this work investigates extensions of the Kalman-Bucy filter for state reconstruction to systems containing parametric uncertainty in the state operator. The emphasis lies on risk averse designs reducing the probability of large reconstruction errors. In a theoretical analysis error bounds in terms of the variance of the uncertainties are derived. The article concludes with a numerical implementation of two examples allowing for a comparison of risk neutral and risk averse estimators.
