Real-time recognition of a sequence of events

The determinate problem of recognizing a sequence of events is considered under the assumption that the occurrence at some instant of an event belonging to a certain class causes a perturbation in the logged curve, which is characteristic of this class. Real-time recognition of local perturbations in the curve is possible only with a delay for making a decision about the instant of occurrence of the event and about its class. The basic solvability of the problem of real-time recognition is investigated, and the recognition algorithm a's based on seeking a sequence of disjoint classified limited-length time intervals including these events. The maximal delay of recognizing a current event is estimated tinder certain assumptions about the pattern of the sequence of events and about the local perturbations they cause.
