Low-rank Kalman filtering under model uncertainty

We consider a robust filtering problem where the nominal state space model is not reachable and different from the actual one. We propose a robust Kalman filter which solves a dynamic game: one player selects the least-favorable model in a given ambiguity set, while the other player designs the optimum filter for the least-favorable model. It turns out that the robust filter is governed by a low-rank risk sensitive-like Riccati equation. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed filter.
