A predictive control algorithm based on locally linear model tree model (LOLIMOT) is implemented to control a fossil fuel power unite. The controller is a non-model based system that uses a LOLIMOT identifier to predict the response of the plant in a future time interval. An evolutionary programming (EP) approach, optimizes the identifier-predicted outputs and determines input sequence in a time window. This intelligent system provides a predictive control of multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems with slow time variation.

Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the most important noninvasive methods of measuring autonomic nervous system (ANS) activities. Hence, simulation of a realistic sequence of HRV signal can have a significant impact on diagnosis of different diseases related to ANS. In this paper, the focus is on generating realistic R-R interval signals using frequency domain analysis. An algorithm was developed using power spectrum curve fitting. The proposed method was compared to two previously reported algorithms. Twenty different sequences of data were generated with each of the three techniques. The performances of the three methods were then evaluated by exerting a frequency domain classification method to the generated data of each technique and the results were compared to each other.

In this paper, we consider nested sliding mode control of SISO nonlinear systems to track a reference signal. The proposed system is perturbed by bounded matched and unmatched uncertainties and assumed to be in strict-feedback form. A step wise procedure is introduced to obtain the controller. In each step, a continuous sliding mode controller is designed as virtual control law. Then the next step sliding surface is defined by using this virtual controller. These sliding surfaces are selected as nonlinear static functions of the system states. Finally in the last step, smooth static state feedback control law is determined such that the output tracks the desired exogenous system output, while the system states are forced arbitrary close to the intersection of sliding surfaces and remain bounded.

Heart sound segmentation is the primary step in automatic diagnosis of heart sounds. Since heart sound components have great diversity in frequency and amplitude, the focus of this paper is on time domain analysis. Time intervals between consequent peaks have been clustered in time domain and statistical data were extracted. Then a reference point was labeled by using the clustered data. We propose a novel algorithm to segment the heart sound signals, by using extracted data and the reference point. The performance of the algorithm has been evaluated using 240 periods of heart sound signals recorded from 12 subjects including normal and abnormal sounds. The algorithm has achieved a 93.8 percent precision and 100 percent of sensitivity during evaluation.

When dealing with target tracking problem for maneuvering targets, it may be the case that a first order extended Kalman filter can not track the target and diverges due to neglecting the higher order terms of Taylor series. This paper studies two other filters which are more appropriate for maneuvering targets (with nonlinear state space equations). These two filters are entitled as second-order extended Kalman filter (SOEKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF). SOEKF uses Hessian matrix (second term of Taylor series) which may help solving the divergence problem. UKF is also useful as it works with the main nonlinear formula without the need to use any approximation. Both of the state space equations (process equation and measurement equation) is assumed to be nonlinear. In order to enhance the accuracy of tracking process sensor fusion approach is also applied for both of the filters. The number of sensors is assumed to be two. A comparison analysis is made between the two filters alone (without fusion approach) and also when sensor fusion is applied.

In this paper, a high performance control applied to speed control of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors. The design strategy is performed with constraint on the power factor, i.e., the power factor is maximized. In order to enhance the performance of the control system, a decoupling current vector control strategy is developed to ensure high performance operation. Simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Predicting future behavior of chaotic time series system is a challenging area in the literature of nonlinear systems. The prediction's accuracy of chaotic time series is extremely dependent on the model and the learning algorithm. On the other hand the cyclic solar activity as one of the natural chaotic systems has significant effects on earth, climate, satellites and space missions. Several methods have been introduced for prediction of solar activity indices especially the sunspot number, which is a common measure of solar activity. In this paper, the problem of embedding dimension estimation for solar activity chaotic time series based on polynomial models is considered. The optimality of embedding dimension has an important role in computational efforts, Lyapunov exponents' analysis and efficiency of prediction. The method of this paper is based on the fact that the reconstructed dynamics of an attractor should be a smooth map, i.e. with no self intersection in the reconstructed attractor. To check this property, a local general polynomial autoregressive model is fitted to the given data and a canonical state space realization is considered. Then, the normalized one-step forward prediction error for different orders and various degrees of nonlinearity in polynomials is evaluated. Besides the estimation of the embedding dimension, a predictive model is obtained which can be used for prediction and estimation of the Lyapunov exponents. This algorithm is applied to indicate the minimum embedding dimension of sunspot numbers (SSN), Disturbance Storm Time or Dst. and Proton Flux indices are some of the most important among solar activity indices and results depict the power of the proposed method in embedding dimension estimation.
