The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is a Monte-Carlo-based sequential filtering method that is often both robust and efficient, but its performance may suffer in settings where the computational cost of accurate simulations of ensemble members/particles is high. I will present recent results [1, 2, 3] on marrying the multilevel Monte Carlo method with EnKF to obtain the multilevel ensemble Kalman filter (MLEnKF). The new method can be applied in the following filtering settings:
(I) finite-dimensional state space and discrete-time observations,
(II) infinite-dimensional state space and discrete-time, finite-dimensional observations.
Theoretical results and numerical evidence of the performance gain of MLEnKF over EnKF will be presented.
