Abstract

This paper is concerned with a duality-based approach to derive the linear feedback particle filter (FPF). The FPF is a controlled interacting particle system where the control law is designed to provide an exact solution for the nonlinear filtering problem. For the linear Gaussian special case, certain simplifications arise whereby the linear FPF is identical to the square-root form of the ensemble Kalman filter. For this and for the more general nonlinear non-Gaussian case, it has been an open problem to derive/interpret the FPF control law as a solution of an optimal control problem. In this paper, certain duality-based arguments are employed to transform the filtering problem into an optimal control problem. Its solution is shown to yield the deterministic form of the linear FPF. An extension is described to incorporate stochastic effects due to noise leading to a novel homotopy of exact ensemble Kalman filters. All the derivations are based on duality formalisms.
