2 Iceland Volcano Eruption Motivation The eruption at Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland, had wreaked havoc on European aviation since ash emissions began on 14 April 2010.! London VAAC (Volcanic Ash Advisory Center) began issuing code Red VAAs on 16 April 2010, which was rapidly followed by complete shutdown of British airspace.! Over the next hours and days, airspace over all of Europe was shut down. Losses were estimated at over $200 million/day (over $1 billion in total), with almost 7 million stranded passengers.!

3 Iceland Volcano Eruption Motivation

4 Space Object Tracking Motivation! In July, 1994, the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter at over 133,000 mph.!! Asteroid 2004 MN4 is predicted to make a very close encounter in April of 2029, followed by other approaches in 2034 and 2036.! The uncertainty of the 2029 approach ( 1 Earth radii) is quite large compared to the predicted miss distance of 5.6 Earth radii.! This close encounter is not presently considered a high risk for collision, however the subsequent encounters have larger uncertainties and cannot be accurately predicted due to the nonlinearity of the dynamics and the large uncertainty associated with the 2029 approach.! 4

5 Space Object Tracking Motivation Feb unintentional collision " between Russia s Cosmos 2251 " satellite and a US Iridium satellite! Resulted in about 500 pieces! of debris" The debris had to be accurately tracked in order to analyze threat to other satellites in similar orbits.! The increasing amount of debris and inactive resident space objects (RSOs), particularly those with high area-to-mass ratios, in both the low-earth-orbit (LEO) and geosynchronous-earth orbit (GEO) regime pose a threat to active RSOs and must be accurately tracked for threat analysis.!

6 Space Object Tracking Motivation we live in a bustling neighborhood!

7 Introduction Dynamical Systems Requirements for simulation of dynamical systems: " Knowledge of Governing Dynamics (Equations of motion) " Knowledge of Initial Conditions (Where to start the solution) Different initial states lead to different trajectories.

12 Main Idea Gaussian Sum Approximation " With sufficient number of Gaussian components, any pdf can be approximated as closely as desired. FPKE Linearized propagation True pdf + + = Component 1 Component 2 Component 3 Anderson, B. D. and Moore, J. B., Optimal Filtering, Prentice-Hall, 1979, Approximation

13 Uncertainty Characterization Classic Gaussian Sum Mixture = " Assumption: covariances are small enough such that the linearizations become representative for the dynamics around the means " Easily violated: large initial uncertainty, strong nonlinearities, computational constraints Anderson, B. D. and Moore, J. B., Optimal Filtering, Prentice-Hall, 1979,

14 Uncertainty Characterization Adaptive Gaussian Sum Mixture ! " Update I: Continuous-time dynamical systems Updates the weights by constraining the Gaussian sum approximation to satisfy the Fokker-Planck equation " Update II: Discrete-time nonlinear systems Weights to minimize the integral square difference between the true forecast pdf and its Gaussian sum approximation Terejanu, Singla, et al. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2011

15 Uncertainty Propagation Exact Problem The Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation (FPKE) provides the exact description of the uncertainty propagation problem under white-noise excitation " Exact solution given by the FPKE " Where

16 Solving Fokker-Planck Equation Inherent Difficulties in Numerically Solving the FPKE Following issues make the FPKE a difficult numerical problem: Positivity of the pdf: Normality of the pdf: No unique domain for numerical implementation: The actual domain of the FPKE is. But we need a finite domain for numerical implementation. Dimensionality: FPKE contains the partial derivatives w.r.t. all the states. e.g. 2-D planar motion requires discretization of 4 dimensions.

17 Solving FPKE Gaussian Sum Approximation! Let us assume that underlying pdf can be approximated by a finite sum of Gaussian pdfs.! Question is how to find unknown parameters of this Gaussian Sum Mixture?

18 Solving FPKE Gaussian Sum Approximation EKF UKF Now, update the weights of Gaussian Sum Mixture such that FPKE error is minimized.

42 even by improving the propagation method, chances are that we will still get a poor approximation to the forecast probability distribution where it matters. e.g. in the tails of the distribution. Because we still have a finite representation.

Interaction Level between decision maker and the prediction module incorporate contextual information held by the decision maker Progressive Selection of Gaussian Components to supplement the initial uncertainty with new Gaussian components that are sensitive to the loss function at the decision time. The cost of the overall improvement is an increase in the number of Gaussian components The new probability density function addresses the region of interest and provides a better approximation overall, if any probability density mass is moving naturally towards the region of interest. Significantly enhanced accuracy within the decision maker s region of interest. Terejanu, Singla, et al. Advances in Information Fusion, Dec

47 Uncertainty Characterization Polynomial Chaos " Originally used by Norbert Wiener in 1938, to describe the members of the span of Hermite polynomial functionals of standard Gaussian random variables. " Generalized (Xiu, 2002) to efficiently use the orthogonal polynomials from the Askey-scheme to model various probability distributions. " Applications in modeling parametric uncertainty. " A dynamical system, represented by a set of Difference Equations with stochastic parameters, can be transformed into a deterministic system of equations in the coefficients of a series expansion, using this approach. " Used to approximate the stochastic system states in terms of a finitedimensional series expansion in the infinite-dimensional stochastic space. " The completeness of the space allows for the accurate representation of any random variable
