Numerical Optimal Measurement Algorithm under Distortions Caused by Inertia, Resonances, and Sensor Degradation

The optimal measurement problem is the problem of minimizing the difference between virtual observation values obtained by using a computational model and experimental data. The study of this problem splits into three parts, namely, a mathematical model of optimal measurements, algorithms for the numerical analysis of this model, and software to implement these algorithms. Here we describe the first two parts. We also describe a mathematical optimal measurement model in the presence of various kinds of interferences and an approximation of the optimal measurement and prove that these approximations converge to the precise optimal measurement. A numerical algorithm for determining approximations of the optimal measurement is described.
