Abstract
Developing a mathematical model for the artificial generation of
electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is a subject that has been widely investigated. One of its
uses is for the assessment of diagnostic ECG signal processing devices. So the model
should have the capability of producing a wide range of ECG signals, with all the nuances
that reflect the sickness to which humans are prone, and this would necessarily include
variations in heart rate variability (HRV). In this paper we present a comprehensive model
for generating such artificial ECG signals. We incorporate into our model the effects of
respiratory sinus arrhythmia, Mayer waves and the important very low frequency
component in the power spectrum of HRV. We use the new modified Zeeman model for
generating the time series for HRV, and a single cycle of ECG is produced using a radial
basis function neural network.

Abstract
In this paper, an agent-based structure of the electricity retail market is presented based on which day-ahead (DA) energy procurement for customers is modeled. Here, we focus on operation of only one Retail Energy Provider (REP) agent who purchases energy from DA pool-based wholesale market and offers DA real time tariffs to a group of its customers. As a model of customer response to the offered real time prices, an hourly acceptance function is proposed in order to represent the hourly changes in the customer’s effective demand according to the prices. Here, Q-learning (QL) approach is applied in day-ahead real time pricing for the customers enabling the REP agent to discover which price yields the most benefit through a trial-and-error search. Numerical studies are presented based on New England day-ahead market data which include comparing the results of RTP based on QL approach with that of genetic-based pricing.

Abstract
This paper develops a new method of integral sliding mode control redesign for a class of perturbed nonlinear dissipative switched systems by modifying the dissipativity-based control law that was designed for the unperturbed systems. The nominal model is considered affine with matched and unmatched perturbations. The redesigned control law includes an integral sliding-based control signal such that the system always operates on the sliding mode and the dissipativity of the perturbed switched system is maintained from the initial time of the system operation for the norm bounded perturbations. The proposed techniques eliminates the restrictive design conditions on the derivative of storage functions offered in a recent work. In addition, the global dissipativity of the perturbed system is always maintained if the original unperturbed system is globally dissipative. Depending on the type of stability of the unperturbed system, the designed control law for the perturbed system guarantees robust exponential or asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. The theoretical results are applied to nonlinear switched systems, and the convergence of the state vectors to the origin is verified by simulation in presence of nonlinear perturbations.
