Abstract
An acquisition section (101) acquires an actual measurement value of a measured change in a specific environment of a data assimilation target. A computation section (102) uses a preliminary initial state and a preliminary value of an unknown parameter that are related to the data assimilation target to perform a numerical computation of a change in the specific environment of the data assimilation target. An update section (103) computes a value of an evaluation function representing errors between the actual measurement value and a value obtained from a result of the numerical computation and corresponding to the actual measurement value, finds an acquisition function from plural combinations of values of the initial state and the unknown parameter combined with the evaluation function value, and updates values of the initial state and the unknown parameter so as to minimize a value of the evaluation function based on a value of the acquisition function. Values of the initial state and the unknown parameter related to the data assimilation target are estimated by an iteration determination section (104) repeating each processing of the computation section (102) and the update section (103) until a predetermined iteration end condition is satisfied.

Abstract
Based on a recognition result of a recognition sensor installed in a mobile body, a mobile body control system calculates a first target path for moving to a destination while avoiding a risk around the mobile body. Further, based on the first target path, the mobile body control system calculates a second target path having higher granularity than the first target path. Then, the mobile body control system controls the mobile body so as to follow the second target path. The mobile body control system determines in which field the mobile body moves, a normal field or a specific field having more risks than the normal field. When the mobile body moves in the specific field, the mobile body control system reduces a frequency of update of the first target path compared with that when the mobile body moves in the normal field.

Abstract
An acquisition unit (101) acquires an actual measurement value obtained by measuring changes in a data assimilation object in a predetermined environment. A calculation unit (102) uses a provisional initial state and a provisional value of an unknown parameter regarding the data assimilation object to numerically calculate the change in the data assimilation object in the predetermined environment. An update unit (103) calculates the value of an evaluation function representing an error between the actual measurement value and a value obtained from the result of the numerical calculation corresponding to the actual measurement value, and determines an acquisition function from a plurality of combinations of the initial state and unknown parameter values and the value of the evaluation function, and, on the basis of the value of the acquisition function, updates the initial state and the value of the unknown parameter that minimize the value of the evaluation function. An iterative determination unit (104) repeats the processes of the calculating unit (102) and the update unit (103) until a prescribed iteration end condition is satisfied, to thereby estimate the initial state and the value of the unknown parameter regarding the data assimilation object.

A method for producing a boron-containing conjugated polyene compound, the method being provided with a step for reacting a first raw material compound that has a carbon-carbon triple bond and a second raw material compound that has a 1,3-butadiene-4,4-diyl group and has a conjugated di(or poly)ene skeleton including two carbon-carbon double bonds in said group, the reaction being conducted in the presence of a metal catalyst, to obtain a boron-containing conjugated polyene compound that has a conjugated polyene skeleton including three or more carbon-carbon double bonds, the method being such that the first raw material compound and/or the second raw material compound has a boron-containing group bonded to a carbon atom constituting a triple bond or a conjugated di(or poly)ene skeleton, and the boron-containing conjugated polyene compound has a boron-containing group bonded to a carbon atom constituting the conjugated polyene skeleton.
