Fractional nonlinear filtering problems and their associated fractional Zakai equations (1305.2658v1)

Abstract: In this paper we discuss fractional generalizations of the filtering problem. The "fractional" nature comes from time-changed state or observation processes, basic ingredients of the filtering problem. The mathematical feature of the fractional filtering problem emerges as the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative in the associated Zakai equation. We discuss fractional generalizations of the filtering problem whose state and observation processes are driven by time-changed Brownian motion or/and L\'evy process.
