A filtering of Kalman]Bucy type is derived for a signal governed by a linear retarded stochastic differential equation, given a noisy observation process linearly related to the section of the signal. A Volterra type integral equation is obtained for a ‘‘general tracking error.’’ Q 1997 Academic Press

1. INTRODUCTION The filtering problem is concerned with a pair of random processes x Ž t ., y Ž t .. Of these x Ž t ., called the signal process, is not observed directly and y Ž t ., called the observation process, is a noisy function of x Ž t .. The problem is to determine at each time t, ˆ x Ž t . [ E x Ž t . N y Ž u. ;0 F u F t 4 , the optimal estimate for x Ž t . in the mean square sense given knowledge of the observed process up to time t. The problem has been extensively studied; excellent exposes ´ can be found in, for example, Liptser and Shirayev w8x, Kallianpur w6x, Oksendal w11x, and Elliot w4x. For fairly general processes x Ž t ., y Ž t . and f in a wide class H of real valued functions on the state space of x Ž t ., one can determine a stochastic differential relation satisfied by the process Zˆf Ž t . [ E f Ž x Ž t .. N y Ž u. ;0 F u F t 4 . The relation is in general not recursive Žunless the totality of relations ; f g H is construed as a measure-valued stochastic integral equation.. A notable exception is the Kalman]Bucy filtering problem where x Ž t ., y Ž t . are given by dx Ž t . s F Ž t . x Ž t . dt q C Ž t . dU Ž t . ,

with UŽ t ., V Ž t . mutually independent Brownian motions and x 0 a Gaussian variable independent of both. In this case ˆ x Ž t . is given by a linear stochastic differential equation parametrised by the tracking error E< x Ž t . y ˆ x Ž t .< 2 4 , which itself is determined by a Riccati equation. In the present work we seek a recursive relation for ˆ x Ž t . in the case where x Ž t . is given by a linear retarded stochastic differential equation and where the observable process depends linearly on the section x t Žto be defined below.. Not unexpectedly, perhaps, it turns out that we need to take on board E x t N y Ž u., 0 F u F t 4 . It was only after this manuscript was prepared for publication that the author became aware of the work of Kolmanovskii and Shaikhet w7x, where this problem was handled for discrete delays through variational methods. Our approach covers the case of non-discrete delays as well and is different in that it consists in modifying the innovations approach for the Kalman]Bucy problem using the relevant facts about retarded equations as presented in the comprehensive work of Mohammed w10x.

2. NOTATION AND ASSUMPTIONS Let Ž V, F , P . denote a complete probability space on which are defined all stochastic processes under consideration. J is the interval wyr, 0x Žwith r G 0.. C Ž J, R n . is the Banach space of all continuous paths h : J ª R n with the sup norm 5h 5 C s sup s g J
ht Ž s . s h Ž t q s . . I is the interval w0, T x Žwith T ) 0.. UŽ t .: t g I 4 and  V Ž t .: t g I 4 are two mutually independent Brownian motions with respective dimensions p and q.  c Ž s .: s g J 4 is a Gaussian process with Holder continuous paths ¨ independent of both UŽ t .4t g I and  V Ž t .4t g I . It is assumed that c g L 2 Ž V, F, P, C Ž J, R n ... For all t g I, we let AŽ t ., F Ž t . denote respectively the s-algebras generated by  c Ž s ., UŽ u.: s g J, 0 F u F t 4 and by  c Ž s ., UŽ u., V Ž ¨ .: s g J, 0 F u, ¨ F t 4 . By augumenting if necessary we assume each F Ž t . to contain all null sets. We note that F Ž t . is independent of UqŽ t . and VqŽ t ., the s-algebras generated by the increments UŽ t 2 . y UŽ t 1 ., V Ž t 2 . y V Ž t 1 . for t 2 ) t 1 G t. C: I ª LŽR p , R n . and D: I ª LŽR q, R m . are bounded measurable. Furthermore we assume that the smallest eigenvalues of the matrices DŽ t . DŽT .* Ž t g I . are uniformly bounded away from zero Ž* denotes

transposition.. Consequently the inverses w DŽ t . DŽ t .*xy1 exist and are uniformly bounded. Furthermore for each t g I, there exists a symmetric matrix K Ž t . such that K Ž t . 2 s w DŽ t . DŽ t .*xy1 . F: I = C Ž J, R n . ª R n and G: I = C Ž J, R n . ª R m are measurable maps such that ; t g I, F Ž t, .. and GŽ t, .. are bounded linear. Furthermore we assume that each of the sets 5 F Ž t, ..5: t g I 4 and 5 GŽ t, ..5: t g I 4 is bounded. If B: C Ž J, R n . ª R l is any bounded linear map, we shall retain the same symbol B for the extension of B to C˜Ž J, R n ., the space of bounded measurable paths Žvia the Riesz representation theorem., and for the map induced by B Žcolumnwise. on C Ž J, LŽR k , R n ... We trust this slight abuse of notation will not cause any confusion. Should any process in the sequel possess a continuous version, it will tacitly be assumed that this version has already been selected. The symbol s shall in the text be reserved exclusively for members of J; the symbols u, ¨ , t refer to members of I.

Stu can be extended to L 2 Ž V, F Ž0., P, C˜Ž J ... The extension shall still be denoted by Stu ; this is the basic existence and uniqueness theorem. Ž0.2.

For all h g L 2 Ž V, F Ž0., P, C Ž J .. the map t ¬ Ttuh is continuous on I. If h has Holder continuous paths, then the boundedness ¨ conditions on F and C ensure that the process Ž s, w . ¬ Ž Stuh .Ž s .Ž v . has Holder continuous paths. ¨ Ž0.4.

Remarks. Ž1. Equation Ž3.20. is a non-linear Volterra integral equation with phase space C Ž J, R n .. One suspects that iterative methods for its solution can be obtained along the lines of those for equations with a finite dimensional phase space. Equation Ž3.19. is a stochastic Volterra type integral equation in C Ž J, R n .. If we imbed C Ž J, R n . in L2 Ž J, R n ., then equations of this type afford solutions via the Picard iteration procedure Žcf. w3x.. Ž2. If GŽ t, h . s GŽ t . g Žh . for some m = m matrix GŽ t . and a bounded linear g: C Ž J, R n . ª R m we can write

The imposition of boundedness Žrather than square integrability . on the coefficients C, D, F, G and of Holder continuity on the paths of c ¨ Žrather than mere continuity. is motivated by our desire for the process Ž s, v . ¬ w H0t Žw Ttug Ž u.xrDŽ u..xŽ s . dBŽ u.xŽ v . to possess a continuous version so that Ž3.14. would hold in C Ž J ..
