Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEEG Signals During Epileptic Seizure as a Semigroup of Upper Triangular MatricesFaisal Abdurabu Mubarak Binjadhnan, Tahir AhmadProblem statement: EEG signals during epileptic seizure can be presented as an algebraic structure, namely semigroup of upper triangular matrices. Approach: EEG signals during seizure were recorded and composed into set of matrices. They were transformed into upper triangular matrices using QR-Schur decomposition and finally as a semigroup of upper triangular matrices. Results: EEG signals during epileptic seizure were transformed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,019 accessesView PDFCite
