Algorithms for Block Tridiagonal Systems: Foundations and New Results for Generalized Kalman Smoothing
Block tridiagonal systems appear in classic Kalman smoothing problems, as well in generalized Kalman smoothing, where problems may have nonsmooth terms, singular covariance, constraints, nonlinear models, and unknown parameters. In this paper, first we interpret all the classic smoothing algorithms as different approaches to solve positive definite block tridiagonal linear systems. Then, we obtain new … Read more
