the system's state to infer the instrumental variables by an iterative algorithm. The
pseudo-measurements z k are defined by:
z k = r o,x ( k )cos β k
r o,y ( k )sin β k
[6.17]
This equation can also be written in matrix form:
z k = ˜
X 0 ( k )= ˜
A ( k )
A ( k )
X T ( k )+ η k ,
where r o,x ,r o,y
represents the observer's co-ordinates and:
A ( k )= cos β k ,
sin β k , 0 , 0 ,
˜
[6.18]
η k = r k sin w k
r k w k .
We are then led to consider a linear regression problem for which there is an
explicit solution. However, the solution obtained this way is usually strongly biased
because of the correlation between the columns of the regression matrix and the addi-
tive noise. The IVM consists of replacing the usual optimality equation for minimizing
the quadratic norm of the error with the following iterative expression:
X +1 =
A p 1
Z p .
A p X R 2 ˜
A p X R 2

This is an even simpler method for implementing the Gauss-Newton algorithm.
The convergence of these two methods has been debated at length; there are, however,
methods that lead to results with a certain degree of generality. More precisely, if we
consider the quadratic functional of X
:
L X = X X

Iltis and Anderson [ILT 96] show that this is a Lyapunov functional [BAR 85] for the
continuous differential equation:

tions, we get:
