On the almost sure and mean-square exponential convergence of some stochastic observers

It is pointed out that linear observers used for estimating the state of the discrete-time stochastic-parameter systems are both almost surely and mean-square (MS) exponentially convergent under the same conditions guaranteeing mean-square convergence. In addition to the mean-square convergence properties of linear observers constructed for mean-square stable stochastic-parameter systems, they also possess an almost-sure exponential convergence property, and the rate of MS convergence is exponential. This rate depends on the parameters used in the design.<
