contents This article studies the problem of estimating the state variable of non-smooth subdifferential dynamics constrained in a bounded convex domain given some real-time observation. On the one hand, we show that the value function of the estimation problem is a viscosity solution of a Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation whose sub and super solutions have different Neumann type boundary conditions. This intricacy arises from the non-reversibility in time of the non-smooth dynamics, and hinders the derivation of a comparison principle and the uniqueness of the solution in general. Nonetheless, we identify conditions on the drift (including zero drift) coefficient in the non-smooth dynamics that make such a derivation possible. On the other hand, we show in a general situation that the value function appears in the small noise limit of the corresponding stochastic filtering problem by establishing a large deviation result. We also give quantitative approximation results when replacing the non-smooth dynamics with a smooth penalised one.
