What does vertical bar mean in X(k|k-1)?

78 Views Asked by At

I understand that "|" can mean many things.

Here, only 2 appear relevant: "Such that" or "Divided by" however for the equation I am trying to understand neither seems right.

What does it mean?

$\chi_i(k | k - 1) = f(\chi^a_i (k | k - 1), u(k - 1), t_{k - 1}).$
