Efficiency analysis of polynomial filtering algorithms in navigation data processing for a class of nonlinear discrete dynamical systems

A polynomial filtering algorithm is designed for estimating a Markov sequence based on linear measurements. The feature of the estimation problem is that the Markov sequence is described by a nonlinear shaping filter, which is a second‐order polynomial with respect to the state vector components. The algorithm efficiency is illustrated by three examples of navigation data processing. It is shown that the polynomial filter provides accuracy close to the best potential one calculated using the particle filter. At the same time, the amount of computation required to implement this algorithm is much smaller than that for the particle filter. In addition, the polynomial filter provides a consistent calculated accuracy characteristic.
