Hi Maha
You can create a time vector that starts from midnight and increments every 6 minutes until the 24th hour using the "datetime" and "minutes" functions. You can then use logical indexing or a loop to define the variable "P(t)" based on the conditions you've provided.
You can refer the code snippet below:
% Define the start and end times
startTime = datetime('today', 'Format', 'dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss');
endTime = startTime + days(1);
% Create a time vector with 6-minute intervals
time = startTime:minutes(6):endTime;
% Preallocate P(t) with zeros
P = zeros(size(time));
% Define P(t) based on the condition
for i = 1:length(time)
t = hours(time(i) - startTime); % Convert time to hours since midnight
if t < 6
P(i) = 0; % For t < 6, P(t) = 0
else
% Add other conditions for P(t) here
% For example, if you have other conditions for different time ranges,
% you would add them in this section using elseif or else statements.
end
end
% Note: The time vector includes the 24th hour (midnight of the next day),
% if you want to exclude it, you can use:
% time = startTime:minutes(6):(endTime - minutes(1));
time

Hope this helps!
