A Computationally Efficient Leaky and Regularized RLS Filter for Its Short Length

A Tikhonov regularized RLS algorithm with an exponential weighting factor, i.e., a leaky RLS (LRLS) algorithm was proposed by the author. A quadratic version of the LRLS algorithm also exists in the literature of adaptive filters. In this letter, a cubic version of the LRLS filter which is computationally efficient is proposed when the length of the adaptive filter is short. The proposed LRLS filter includes only a divide per iteration although its multiplications and additions increase in number. Simulation results show that the proposed LRLS filter is faster for its short length than the existing quadratic version of the LRLS filter.
