Dimensional reduction in nonlinear filtering: A homogenization approach
We propose a homogenized filter for multiscale signals, which allows us to
reduce the dimension of the system. We prove that the nonlinear filter
converges to our homogenized filter with rate . This is
achieved by a suitable asymptotic expansion of the dual of the Zakai equation,
and by probabilistically representing the correction terms with the help of
BDSDEs.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/12-AAP901 the Annals of

Almost Sure Asymptotic Stability of Parabolic SPDEs with Small Multiplicative Noise
A better understanding of the instability margin will eventually optimize the
operational range for safety-critical industries. In this paper, we investigate
the almost-sure exponential asymptotic stability of the trivial solution of a
parabolic semilinear stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) driven by
multiplicative noise near the deterministic Hopf bifurcation point. We show the
existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure under appropriate
assumptions, and approximate the exponential growth rate via asymptotic
expansion, given that the strength of the noise is small. This approximate
quantity can readily serve as a robust indicator of the change of almost-sure
stability
Hopf Bifurcations of Moore-Greitzer PDE Model with Additive Noise
The Moore-Greitzer partial differential equation (PDE) is a commonly used mathematical model for capturing flow and pressure changes in axial-flow jet engine compressors. Determined by compressor geometry, the deterministic model is characterized by three types of Hopf bifurcations as the throttle coefficient decreases, namely surge (mean flow oscillations), stall (inlet flow disturbances) or a combination of both. Instabilities place fundamental limits on jet-engine operating range and thus limit the design space. In contrast to the deterministic PDEs, the Hopf bifurcation in stochastic PDEs is not well understood. The goal of this particular work is to rigorously develop low-dimensional approximations using a multiscale analysis approach near the deterministic stall bifurcation points in the presence of additive noise acting on the fast modes. We also show that the reduced-dimensional approximations (SDEs) contain multiplicative noise. Instability margins in the presence of uncertainties can be thus approximated, which will eventually lead to lighter and more efficient jet engine design
Particle filtering in high-dimensional chaotic systems
We present an efficient particle filtering algorithm for multiscale systems,
that is adapted for simple atmospheric dynamics models which are inherently
chaotic. Particle filters represent the posterior conditional distribution of
the state variables by a collection of particles, which evolves and adapts
recursively as new information becomes available. The difference between the
estimated state and the true state of the system constitutes the error in
specifying or forecasting the state, which is amplified in chaotic systems that
have a number of positive Lyapunov exponents. The purpose of the present paper
is to show that the homogenization method developed in Imkeller et al. (2011),
which is applicable to high dimensional multi-scale filtering problems, along
with important sampling and control methods can be used as a basic and flexible
tool for the construction of the proposal density inherent in particle
filtering. Finally, we apply the general homogenized particle filtering
algorithm developed here to the Lorenz'96 atmospheric model that mimics
mid-latitude atmospheric dynamics with microscopic convective processes.Comment: 28 pages, 12 figure
A Homogenization Approach to Multiscale Filtering
AbstractWe present a homogenized nonlinear filter for multi-timescale systems, which allows the reduction of the dimension of filtering equation. We prove that the actual nonlinear filter converges to our homogenized filter. This is achieved by a suitable asymptotic expansion of the dual of the Zakai equation, and probabilistically representing the correction terms with the help of backward doubly-stochastic differential equations. This homogenized filter provides a rigorous mathematical basis for the development of reduced-dimension nonlinear filters for multiscale systems. A filtering scheme, based on the homogenized filtering equation and the technique of importance sampling, is applied to a chaotic multiscale system in Lingala et al. [1]
Stochastic averaging using elliptic functions to study nonlinear stochastic systems
In this paper, a new scheme of stochastic averaging using elliptic functions is presented that approximates nonlinear dynamical systems with strong cubic nonlinearities in the presence of noise by a set of Itô differential equations. This is an extension of some recent results presented in deterministic dynamical systems. The second order nonlinear differential equation that is examined in this work can be expressed as % MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr% 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq-Jc9% vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0-yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr-x% fr-xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaWexLMBb50ujb% qeguuDJXwAKbacfiGaf8hEaGNbamaacqGHRaWkcaWGJbadcaaIXaGc% cqWF4baEcqGHRaWkcaWGJbadcaaIZaGccqWF4baEdaahaaWcbeqaai% aaiodaaaGccqGHRaWkcqaH1oqzcaWGMbGaaiikaiab-Hha4jaacYca% cqWFGaaicuWF4baEgaGaaiaacMcacqGHRaWkcqaH1oqzdaahaaWcbe% qaaiaaigdacaGGVaGaaGOmaaaaruWrL9MCNLwyaGGbcOGaa43zaiaa% cIcacqWF4baEcaGGSaGae8hiaaIaf8hEaGNbaiaacaGGSaGae8hiaa% IaeqOVdGNaaeikaiaadshacaqGPaGaaiykaiabg2da9iaaicdaaaa!645D![ddot x + c1x + c3x^3 + varepsilon f(x, dot x) + varepsilon ^{1/2} g(x, dot x, xi {text{(}}t{text{)}}) = 0] where c 1 and c 3 are given constants, ξ( t ) is stationary stochastic process with zero mean and ε≪1 is a small parameter. This method involves the laborious manipulation of Jacobian elliptic functions such as cn, dn and sn rather than the usual trigonometric functions. The use of a symbolic language such as Mathematica reduces the computational effort and allows us to express the results in a convenient form. The resulting equations are Markov approximations of amplitude and phase involving integrals of elliptic functions. Finally, this method was applied to study some standard second order systems.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43328/1/11071_2004_Article_BF00120672.pd
Self-tuning to the Hopf bifurcation in fluctuating systems
The problem of self-tuning a system to the Hopf bifurcation in the presence
of noise and periodic external forcing is discussed. We find that the response
of the system has a non-monotonic dependence on the noise-strength, and
displays an amplified response which is more pronounced for weaker signals. The
observed effect is to be distinguished from stochastic resonance. For the
feedback we have studied, the unforced self-tuned Hopf oscillator in the
presence of fluctuations exhibits sharp peaks in its spectrum. The implications
of our general results are briefly discussed in the context of sound detection
by the inner ear.Comment: 37 pages, 7 figures (8 figure files
