Explicit Solution of a Kolmogorov Equation
Ever since the technique of the Kalman-Bucy filter was popularized, there has been an intense interest in finding new classes of finite-dimensional recursive filters, In the late seventies, the concept of the estimation algebra of a filtering system was introduced. It has been the major tool in studying the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai equation. Recently the second author has constructed general finite-dimensional filters which contain both Kalman-Bucy filters and Benes filter as special cases. In this paper we consider a filtering system with arbitrary nonlinear drift f(x) which satisfies some regularity assumption at infinity. This is a natural assumption in view of Theorem 10 of [DTWY] in a special case, Under the assumption on the observation h(x) = constant, we propose writing down the solution of the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai equation explicitly.
