To seek answer: Study FMC in terms of evolution of its associated transition kernel.
Theorem 3. Special Case: ∇ ⋅ f = 0 If the system dynamics is divergence-free, i.e. ∇ ⋅ f(t, x) = 0, the propagated FMC transition kernel, PtFMC (x, y), is in detailed balance with WtFMC , which in this case, must equal Wt . 1
In essence, for divergence free systems, the FMC propagated ensemble is statistically equivalent to an ensemble directly sampled from the current, true state pdf.

No such guarantee is possible for systems with non-zero divergence.

Summary Uncertainty forecasting is a fundamental problem in stochastic dynamics, for which two main solution paradigms exist: (a.) functional approximation, (b.) particle representation A benchmark ensemble was constructed by combining MCMC and Method of Characteristics. Following initial discretization, propagated particles are statistically equivalent to the true state pdf only in systems with zero divergence. No such guarantee exists for systems with non-zero divergence. Even for systems with zero divergence, MC approximation accuracy is time varying. An adaptive Monte Carlo framework was developed, based on ensemble discrepancy. It is possible to continuously monitor MC performance and adaptively add and remove particles to maintain control of its transient performance. Current efforts are focused on increasing speed of MC accuracy evaluation adaptation to systems with noise integration with sequential state-estimation

Informa$on-Guided Op$mal Sensor Clustering Objec&ve: Op$mal sensor alloca$on to enable mul$-target tracking within a heterogeneous wireless sensor network Two exis&ng techniques: (i) Euclidean Clustering (aims for efficiency: not op$mal) (ii) Global Node Search (aims to maximize informa$on gain from sensor field: prohibi$ve cost, esp. for mul$-target tracking) Mo&va&ng Challenge:
In mul$-target tracking, balance is needed between informa$on gain and speed of informa$on transfer: Informa&on U&lity Informa&on Cost Tracking Failure can occur on both ends: on the leH: due to poor informa$on quality on the right: due to delays, resul$ng in dropped targets
Informa$on-Guided Op$mal Sensor Clustering Procedure: A sequence of filters that account for:
a) Sensing feasibility b) Computa$onally efficient informa9on u9lity (via Mahalanobis distance) c) Communica9on cost through the known path to base sta$on for each sensor

• Current research: use sensor data as evidence, in the framework of DempsterShafer theory, in order to determine the level of conflict with other members of a cluster • The evidence will be used to develop measures of sensor health, with the objec&ve of providing guidelines for sensor realignment
