Abstract

For linear discrete time-invariant stochastic system with correlated noises, and with unknown state transition matrix and unknown noise statistics, substituting the online consistent estimators of the state transition matrix and noise statistics into steady-state optimal Riccati equation, a new self-tuning Riccati equation is presented. A dynamic variance error system analysis (DVESA) method is presented, which transforms the convergence problem of self-tuning Riccati equation into the stability problem of a time-varying Lyapunov equation. Two decision criterions of the stability for the Lyapunov equation are presented. Using the DVESA method and Kalman filtering stability theory, it proves that with probability 1, the solution of self-tuning Riccati equation converges to the solution of the steady-state optimal Riccati equation or time-varying optimal Riccati equation. The proposed method can be applied to design a new self-tuning information fusion Kalman filter and will provide the theoretical basis for solving the convergence problem of self-tuning filters. A numerical simulation example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.
