On the state and free boundary estimations for stochastic distributed parameter systems with obstacle

This paper is concerned with the state and free boundary estimation problems for the stochastic distributed parameter systems with obstacle. Formulating the system model as a stochastic variational inequality, the existence and uniqueness properties of the solution are investigated by using the penalization method. The dynamics of state-free boundary estimator is given under a distributed noisy observation. For the purpose of supporting the theoretical aspects developed here, an illustrative example is shown including results of digital simulation experiments.
