Numerical Optimal Measurement Algorithmunder 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.
