The problem of optimal estimation of state for deterministic space-time reactor processes has been considered. Based on the proposed dynamic and observation models and the quality index, the problem of estimation has been formulated. The conditions of the optimal solution have been given using the theory of Lagrange functionals. Analytical and numerical solutions of power density estimation in the slab reactor are presented.
