A Kalman filter for linear systems driven by time-space Brownian sheet

Abstract: We study a linear filtering problem where the signal and observation processes are described as solutions of linear stochastic differential equations driven by time-space Brownian sheets. We derive a stochastic integral equation for the conditional value of the signal given the observation, which can be considered a time-space analogue of the classical Kalman filter. The result is illustrated with examples of the filtering problem involving noisy observations.
