An Improved Unscented Kalman Filter Applied to Positioning and Navigation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles by Jinchao Zhao, Ya Zhang, Shizhong Li, Jiaxuan Wang, Lingling Fang, Luoyin Ning, Jinghao Feng, Jianwu Zhang

“…An estimation model for system noise, the adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm was derived in light of the maximum likelihood criterion and optimized by applying the rolling-horizon estimation method, using the Newton–Raphson algorithm for the maximum likelihood estimation of noise statistics, and it was verified by simulation experiments using the Lie group inertial navigation error model. …”

A fundamental special-relativistic theory valid for all real-valued speeds by Vedprakash Sewjathan

“…Whilst Einstein's subluminal and Recami's superluminal theories are rederived in this paper by further assuming the equivalence principle and mathematical inverses [4,3], this paper derives (independent of these assumptions) with physico-mathematical motivation an alternate singularity-free special-relativistic theory which replaces Einstein's factor [1/(1−V2/c2)]12 and Recami's extended-relativistic factor [1/(V2/c2−1)]12 by [(1−(V2/c2)n)/(1−V2/c2)]12, where n equals the value of (m(V)/m0)2 as |V|→c. In this theory both Newton's and Einstein's subluminal theories are experimentally valid on account of negligible terms. …”
