    Abstract

    This paper proposes a novel framework for delay-tolerant particle filtering
    that is computationally efficient and has limited memory requirements. Within
    this framework the informativeness of a delayed (out-of-sequence) measurement
    (OOSM) is estimated using a lightweight procedure and uninformative
    measurements are immediately discarded.

    Abstract

    In this paper, we demonstrate, both theoretically and by numerical examples,
    that adding a local prediction component to the update rule can significantly
    improve the convergence rate of distributed averaging algorithms. We focus on
    the case where the local predictor is a linear combination of the node's two
    previous values (i.e., two memory taps), and our update rule computes a
    combination of the predictor and the usual weighted linear combination of
    values received from neighbouring nodes.

  3. Analysis of error propagation in particle filters with approximation.

    Abstract

    This paper examines the impact of approximation steps that become necessary
    when particle filters are implemented on resource-constrained platforms. We
    consider particle filters that perform intermittent approximation, either by
    subsampling the particles or by generating a parametric approximation. For such
    algorithms, we derive time-uniform bounds on the weak-sense Lp error and
    present associated exponential inequalities.
