Abstract

In this paper we provide a summary on our recent research activity in the field of biomedical signal processing by means of adaptive transformation methods using rational systems. We have dealt with several questions that can be efficiently treated by using such mathematical modeling techniques. In our constructions the emphasis is on the adaptivity. We have found that a transformation method that is adapted to the specific problem and the signals themselves can perform better than a transformation of general nature. This approach generates several mathematical challenges and questions. These are approximation, representation, optimization, and parameter extraction problems among others. In this paper we give an overview about how these challenges can be properly addressed. We take ECG processing problems as a model to demonstrate them.
