Time Delay and Causality in Biological Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In the study of biological systems, it is often desirable to investigate causality between two simultaneously recorded signals. This paper suggests applying whitening filters to the signals and estimating their cross-correlation. The Cross-correlation sequence can be used to detect time lag between the signals. A positive lag can be interpreted as the reference signal causing the delayed signal. This method is analyzed both by computer simulated signals and arterial blood pressure (ABP) together with central venous pressure (CVP) signals. An estimate of the power spectral density (PSD) of each of the whitened signals is used to assess the quality of the whitening filters. The simulation results show that the method proposed in this paper provides an accurate representation of the causal relationship between the simulated signals. High degree of correlation among the samples of ABP and CVP had a negative effect on the performance of the whitening filters, however the causal relationship between the two signals was still detectable.

Finite time stabilization of time-delay nonlinear systems with uncertainty and time-varying delay
In this paper, the problem of finite-time stability and finite-time stabilization for a specific class of dynamical systems with nonlinear functions in the presence time-varying delay and norm-bounded uncertainty terms is investigated. Nonlinear functions are considered to satisfy the Lipchitz conditions. At first, sufficient conditions to guarantee the finite-time stability for time-delay nonl...
متن کاملStability and numerical solution of time variant linear systems with delay in both the state and control
In this paper, stability for uncertain time variant linear systems with time delay is studied. A new sufficient condition for delay-dependent systems is given in matrix inequality form which depends on the range of delay. Then, we introduce a new direct computational method to solve delay systems. This method consists of reducing the delay problem to a set of algebraic equations by first expand...
متن کاملTime Delay and Data Dropout Compensation in Networked Control Systems Using Extended Kalman Filter
In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...
متن کاملIdentification and Control of MIMO Systems with State Time Delay (Short Communication)
Time-delay identification is one of the most important parameters in designing controllers. In the cases where the number of inputs and outputs in a system are more than one, this identification is of great concern. In this paper, a novel autocorrelation-based scheme for the state variable time-delay identification for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system has been presented. This method is ba...

This paper presents H∞ control problem for input-delayed systems. A neutral system approach is considered to the design of PD controller for input delay systems in presence of uncertain time-invariant delay. Using this approach, the resulting closed-loop system turns into a specific time-delay system of neutral type. The significant specification of this neutral system is that its delayed coeff...
