Abstract

This paper describes methods for optimal filtering of random signals that involve large matrices. We developed a procedure that allows us to significantly decrease the computational load associated with numerically implementing the associated filter and increase its accuracy. The procedure is based on the reduction of a large covariance matrix to a collection of smaller matrices. This is done in such a way that the filter equation with large matrices is equivalently represented by a set of equations with smaller matrices. The filter we developed is represented by x = ∑ j = 1 p M j y j and minimizes the associated error over all matrices M 1 , … , M p . As a result, the proposed optimal filter has two degrees of freedom that increase its accuracy. They are associated, first, with the optimal determination of matrices M 1 , … , M p and second, with an increase in the number p of components in the filter. The error analysis and results of numerical simulations are provided.
