A Contraction Theory-Based Analysis of the Stability of the Deterministic Extended Kalman Filter

The contraction properties of the extended Kalman filter, viewed as a deterministic observer for nonlinear systems, are analyzed. The approach relies on the study of an auxiliary “virtual” dynamical system. Some conditions under which exponential convergence of the state error can be guaranteed are...
