Popis: The paper addresses a general approach to MWGS (Modified Weighted Gram-Schmidt) orthogonalization based Kalman filtering (KF) implementation methods. We propose two new numerically favored and convenient array information formulations of the MWGS-based KF that are the MWGS-based array Information Filter (algorithm MWGS-aIF) and the extended MWGS-based array Information Filter (algorithm eMWGS-aIF). To confirm the correctness of our results, we have proved that the newly constructed MWGS-based array computational schemes are algebraically equivalent to the “straight” (conventional) information filter. Although all these information-type algorithms are theoretically equivalent, their computational properties are different. The newly proposed algorithms are numerically robust to machine roundoff errors due to the numerically stable orthogonal transformations applied on each iteration. The obtained numerical results confirm this statement. Additionally, algorithm eMWGS-aIF has the extended array form, i. e., it allows for updating all required filter quantities with the use of the numerically stable MWGS orthogonalization procedure, only. Thus, our results extend the existing class of numerically efficient KF implementation methods and can be used in practical applications.
