چکیده
For a class of partially observed diffusions, conditions are given for the map from initial condition signal to filtering distribution be contractive with respect Wasserstein distances, rate which does not necessarily depend on dimension state-space. The main assumptions that has affine drift and constant diffusion coefficient likelihood functions log-concave. Ergodic nonergodic signals handled in single framework. Examples include linear-Gaussian, stochastic volatility, neural spike-train dynamic generalized linear models. these examples filter stability can established without any observations.

Nonlinear diffusion: Geodesic Convexity is equivalent to Wasserstein Contraction
It is well known that nonlinear diffusion equations can be interpreted as a gradient flow in the space of probability measures equipped with the Euclidean Wasserstein distance. Under suitable convexity conditions on the nonlinearity, due to R. J. McCann [10], the associated entropy is geodesically convex, which implies a contraction type property between all solutions with respect to this dista...
متن کاملFree complete Wasserstein algebras
We present an algebraic account of the Wasserstein distances Wp on complete metric spaces. This is part of a program of a quantitative algebraic theory of effects in programming languages. In particular, we give axioms, parametric in p, for algebras over metric spaces equipped with probabilistic choice operations. The axioms say that the operations form a barycentric algebra and that the metric...
متن کاملMesh-free adjoint methods for nonlinear filters
We apply a new industrial strength numerical approximation, called the “mesh-free adjoint method,” to solve the nonlinear filtering problem. This algorithm exploits the smoothness of the problem, unlike particle filters, and hence we expect that mesh-free adjoints are superior to particle filters for many practical applications. The nonlinear filter problem is equivalent to solving the Fokker-P...
متن کاملAlignment-free Visualization of Metagenomic Data by Nonlinear Dimension Reduction
The visualization of metagenomic data, especially without prior taxonomic identification of reconstructed genomic fragments, is a challenging problem in computational biology. An ideal visualization method should, among others, enable clear distinction of congruent groups of sequences of closely related taxa, be applicable to fragments of lengths typically achievable following assembly, and all...
متن کاملEulerian Calculus for the Contraction in the Wasserstein Distance
We consider the porous medium equation on a compact Riemannian manifold and give a new proof of the contraction of its semigroup in the Wasserstein distance. This proof is based on the insight that the porous medium equation does not increase the size of infinitesimal perturbations along gradient flow trajectories, and on an Eulerian formulation for the Wasserstein distance using smooth curves....
