W,V
is the standard deviation, or square root of variance of white noise normal distributionω,ν
, and
E
is the expectation operator.

A typical Kalman filter design can be demonstrated as:
Fig. kf1 continuous Kalman filter design
[source file]
where Kalman filter gain
[kf6]L
is the variable needs to be worked out. The system in Fig. kf1 can be described as:
where
H
is an unspecified symmetric, positive definite weighting matrix, which penalize specified state(in this case)
[kf9][kf10]
. A related matrix, the symmetric error covariance, is defined as
where
F
is an
n×n
matrix of zeros, and
Λ
is an
n×n
matrix of unknown Lagrange multiplier
[kf18]
, which provide an ingenious mechanism for drawing constraints into the optimization. In this case,
F
is designed as
