https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended%20Kalman%20filter | In estimation theory, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is the nonlinear version of the Kalman filter which linearizes about an estimate of the current mean and covariance. In the case of well defined transition models, the EKF has been considered the de facto standard in the theory of nonlinear state estimation, naviga... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEIF%20SLAM | In robotics, the SEIF SLAM is the use of the sparse extended information filter (SEIF) to solve the simultaneous localization and mapping by maintaining a posterior over the robot pose and the map. Similar to GraphSLAM, the SEIF SLAM solves the SLAM problem fully, but is an online algorithm (GraphSLAM is offline).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte%20Carlo%20POMDP | In the class of Markov decision process algorithms, the Monte Carlo POMDP (MC-POMDP) is the particle filter version for the partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) algorithm. In MC-POMDP, particles filters are used to update and approximate the beliefs, and the algorithm is applicable to continuous valued... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration%20problem | In robotics, the exploration problem deals with the use of a robot to maximize the knowledge over a particular area. The exploration problem arises in robotic mapping and search & rescue situations, where an environment might be dangerous or inaccessible to humans.
Overview
The exploration problem naturally arises in ... |

partnership among educational, research, and public/private entities that aims to create new knowledge of significant benefit to society.
Its mission is to understand the dynamics of the coupled processes ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethered%20particle%20motion | Tethered particle motion (TPM) is a biophysical method that is used for studying various polymers such as DNA and their interaction with other entities such as proteins.
The method allows observers to measure various physical properties on the substances, as well as to measure the properties of biochemical interactio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric%20inverse%20semigroup |
In abstract algebra, the set of all partial bijections on a set X ( one-to-one partial transformations) forms an inverse semigroup, called the symmetric inverse semigroup (actually a monoid) on X. The conventional notation for the symmetric inverse semigroup on a set X is or . In general is not commutative.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial%20models%20with%20long-tailed%20distributions%20and%20volatility%20clustering | Financial models with long-tailed distributions and volatility clustering have been introduced to overcome problems with the realism of classical financial models. These classical models of financial time series typically assume homoskedasticity and normality cannot explain stylized phenomena such as skewness, heavy ta... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum%20likelihood%20sequence%20estimation | Maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) is a mathematical algorithm to extract useful data out of a noisy data stream.
Theory
For an optimized detector for digital signals the priority is not to reconstruct the transmitter signal, but it should do a best estimation of the transmitted data with the least possible... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC/OSx | DC/OSx (DataCenter/OSx) is a discontinued Unix operating system for MIPS based systems developed by Pyramid Technology. It ran on its Nile series of SMP machines and was a port of AT&T System V Release 4 (SVR4). In 1995, Pyramid Technology was acquired by Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme (SNI), and DC/OSx was supers... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change%20of%20variables%20%28PDE%29 | Often a partial differential equation can be reduced to a simpler form with a known solution by a suitable change of variables.
The article discusses change of variable for PDEs below in two ways:
by example;
by giving the theory of the method.
Explanation by example
For example, the following simplified form of the... |
