Dynamical Low-Rank Filters for Data Assimilation

We propose dynamical low-rank (DLR) type filters for data-assimilation problems based on stochastic differential equations (SDEs). In detail, first we derive a DLRA filter for minimizing jointly the mean and covariance error, as well as a strategy to efficiently include the relevant orthogonal directions. This last approach allows the main subspace to evolve also according to the observation operator. Those procedures naturally extend to a Kalman-Bucy type filter when dealing with linear drift, and to ensemble methods, too, resulting also suitable for problems described by nonlinear drift and possible non-Gaussian distribution. Moreover, we further propose a preliminary particle-type DLRA filter that shows potentiality in nonlinear settings. Numerical simulations show the efficacy of these procedures in relevant applications, opening up to further studies in these filtering directions.

Dynamical Low-Rank Smoothing

Computational costs often make smoothing procedures prohibitive for high-dimensional data assimilation problems. To address this challenge, we propose a dynamical low-rank approximation (DLRA) methodology for smoothing concerning frameworks based on stochastic differential equations. We extend the previously developed joint mean-and-covariance optimization (JMCO) filtering setting to derive a reduced-order smoother via the Rauch--Tung--Striebel recursion and establish the corresponding Kalman--Bucy smoothing for affine drift dynamics. The resulting algorithms retain the adaptive nature of DLRA while significantly reducing the computational time and storage of the whole smoothing procedure.
