Bayesian filtering for multi-object systems with independently generated observations

A general approach for Bayesian filtering of multi-object systems is studied, with particular emphasis on the model where each object generates observations independently of other objects. The approach is based on variational calculus applied to generating functionals, using the general version of Faa di Bruno's formula for Gateaux differentials. This result enables us to determine some general formulae for the updated generating functional after the application of a multi-object analogue of Bayes' rule.

Deconvolution of point processes

The superposition of two independent point processes can be described by multiplication of their probability generating functionals (p.g.fl.s). The inverse operation, which can be viewed as a deconvolution, is defined by dividing the superposed process by one of its constituent p.g.fl.s. The deconvolved process is computed using the higher-order chain rule for Gateaux differentials. The higher-order quotient rule for Gateaux differentials is first established and then applied to point processes.
