This paper discusses nonlinear stochastic minimax games in which the minimizing player is the state estimate while the maximizing players are square-integrable stochastic disturbances. A pathwise optimization method is considered, and an information state is introduced which is governed by a second-order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. The HJB equation is subsequently employed to characterize the dissipation properties of the estimator error with respect to the stochastic disturbances and to introduce a certainty equivalence estimator.
