This paper proposes an efficient and practical implementation of the Maximum Likelihood Ensemble Filter via a Modified Cholesky decomposition (MLEF-MC). The method works as follows: via an ensemble of model realizations, a well-conditioned and full-rank square-root approximation of the background error covariance matrix is obtained. This square-root approximation serves as a control space onto which analysis increments can be computed. These are calculated via Line-Search (LS) optimization. We theoretically prove the convergence of the MLEF-MC. Experimental simulations were performed using an Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AT-GCM) and a highly nonlinear observation operator. The results reveal that the proposed method can obtain posterior error estimates within reasonable accuracies in terms of ℓ − 2 error norms. Furthermore, our analysis estimates are similar to those of the MLEF with large ensemble sizes and full observational networks.

This paper solves the classical problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in a fashion that avoids linearized approximations altogether. Based on the creation of virtual synthetic measurements, the algorithm uses a linear time-varying Kalman observer, bypassing errors and approximations brought by the linearization process in traditional extended Kalman filtering SLAM. Convergence rates of the algorithm are established using contraction analysis. Different combinations of sensor information can be exploited, such as bearing measurements, range measurements, optical flow, or time-to-contact. SLAM-DUNK, a more advanced version of the algorithm in global coordinates, exploits the conditional independence property of the SLAM problem, decoupling the covariance matrices between different landmarks and reducing computational complexity to O(n). As illustrated in simulations, the proposed algorithm can solve SLAM problems in both 2D and 3D scenarios with guaranteed convergence rates in a full nonlinear context.
