This paper is concerned with numerical algorithms for the problem of gain
function approximation in the feedback particle filter. The exact gain function
is the solution of a Poisson equation involving a probability-weighted
Laplacian. The numerical problem is to approximate this solution using only
particles sampled from the probability distribution. A diffusion-map based
algorithm is presented for this problem. The algorithm does not require
approximation of the probability distribution as an intermediate step. A
procedure for carrying out error analysis of the approximation is introduced
and certain asymptotic estimates for bias and variance are derived. The paper
contains some comparative numerical results for a problem with non-Gaussian
distribution. The algorithm is also applied and illustrated for a numerical
filtering example.
