\item Version 1.1
\begin{itemize}
\item Fixed notation in initialization step of Kalman filter to $\hat{y}_{1|0}$ and $\Sigma_{1|0}$ instead of $\hat{y}_{0|-1}$ and $\Sigma_{0|-1}$.

\paragraph{Hints:}
In the lecture we have derived the necessary steps to implement the Kalman filter.
\begin{itemize}
\item Initialize $\hat{y}_{0|-1}=0$ and $\Sigma_{0|-1}$ as the solution to the Lyapunov equation:
$$\Sigma_{0|-1} = g_y \Sigma_{0|-1} g_y' + g_u \Sigma_u g_u'$$
\item Initialize $\hat{y}_{1|0}=0$ and $\Sigma_{1|0}$ as the solution to the Lyapunov equation:
$$\Sigma_{1|0} = g_y \Sigma_{1|0} g_y' + g_u \Sigma_u g_u'$$
Hint: You might want to use the auxiliary function \texttt{dlyapdoubling(gy,gu*SIGu*gu')} to solve this equation.
\item For $t=1,...,T$:
