Abstract :
If \\dot{X} = AX + BU , where U is "discretized" white noise ( U is piece-wise constant and the constants are uncorrelated random variables), and it is assumed that E{X(t)U\´(t)} = O , then the following covariance related jump equation results: (d/dt)E{XX\´} = E{(d/dt)(XX\´)} + BQB\´ . Q is the covariance associated with U . The relation of this phenomena to the idealized problem with E{U(t) U\´(\\tau )} = Q\\delta (t - \\tau ) is considered, and ramifications for digital simulation are discussed.
