Outline Matlab software Entering matrix Matrix function and manipulation Matlab graphics Matlab programming: writing M-file and functions Function input & output Control flow

MATLAB software Multi-platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOSX) Technical computing Script language Variables are all matrices Expandable by adding toolboxes

Entering matrix Explicit listing M-file External data files Stored the above statement in ex1.m. Run the M-file, i.e. >> ex1 External data files >> load A.dat Built-in statements and functions >> B = eye(3)

Matrix function and manipulation ones(3), zeros(3), eye(3) magic(4), hilb(5), rand(4,3) size(A), eig(A), det(A), inv(A), diag(A) sum(A), prod(A), mean(A), max(A), std(A)

Exercise on Matrix functions Try A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 0 9] x = ones(3) y = eye(3) z = zeros(3) d = diag(A) det(A) inv(A) rank(A) eig(A)

Exercise on Matrix functions m = magic(4) sum(m) sum(m’) sum(diag(m)) r = rand(4,3) size(r)

Matrix elements >> x = [-1.3, sqrt(3), (1+2+3)*4/5 ]; -1.3000 >> x(5)= abs(x(1)) x = -1.3000 1.7321 4.8000 0 1.3000 >> y = 1:5 y = 1 2 3 4 5 xy = [x;y] xy = -1.3000 1.7321 4.8000 0 1.3000 1.0000 2.0000 3.0000 4.0000 5.0000

Matrix elements (cont) >> B = [A;r]; >> C = [A,zeros(size(A));ones(size(A)),A] C = 1 2 3 0 0 0 4 5 6 0 0 0 7 8 9 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 3 1 1 1 4 5 6 1 1 1 7 8 9 >> D = C(1:3,:) >> D = C(:,3:4)

Matrix Arithmetic Additions (+) Subtraction (-) Multiplication (*) Right division (/) Solve A = xb by x = A/b Left division (\) Solve Ax = b by x = A\b Power (^)

Element-by-Element Operation Using Period (.) x = [1,2,3]; y = [4 5 6]; >> x .* y ans 4 10 18 >> x ./ y 0.25 0.4 0.5 >> x .\ y 4 2.5 2 >> x .^ y ans 1 32 729 >> x .^ 2 1 4 9 >> 2 .^ [x y] 2 4 8 16 32 64

MATLAB graphics If y is a vector, plot(y) produced a linear graph plot(x,y) produces a graph of y versus x t = 0: pi/10: 2*pi; x = sin(t) Y1 = sin(t+.25); Y2 = sin(t+.50); plot(x,y1,’r-’,x,y2,’g--’) Title(‘Phase Shift’) xlabel(‘x=sin(t)’); ylabel(‘y1=sin(t+)’);

MATLAB graphics – 3D mesh The following commands draw a mesh x = [-pi:0.1:pi]; y=x; [X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y); Z = sin(X).* sin(Y) + cos(X).*cos(Y); mesh(Z); #surf(Z); #contour(Z);

MATLAB programming Two kinds of MATLAB program 1. Script or M-file sequence of Matlab statements without input and output variables are global 2. Functions with input and output defined as function [out1, out2, … outN]= funcname(in1, in2, … inN) variables are local

Writing scripts / M-files Use Matlab M-file editor, save the following as fibo.m % An M-file to calculate Fibonacci numbers f = [1 1]; i=1; while f(i) + f(i+1) < 1000 f(i+2) = f(i) + f(i+1); i=i+1; end plot(f); At the Matlab command prompt, type the following to run >> fibo

Writing script – another example looptest.m % Fill b with square roots of 1 to 1000 using a for loop clear; tic; for i= 1:1000 b(i) = sqrt(i); end t=toc; disp([‘Time taken for loop method is ‘, num2str(t)]); % Fill b with square roots of 1 to 1000 using a vector a = 1:1000; b = sqrt(a); disp([‘Time taken for vector method is ‘, num2str(t)]); Run the program with >> looptest

MATLAB function MATLAB functions allow input and output variables function y = stat(x) % mean average [ m n ] = size(x); if m == 1 m = n; end y = sum(x) / m; If z is a vector, z = 1:99, type >> mean(z) ans 50

Control flow If and break statement For Loops While Loops or for v = expression statements end While Loops while expression If and break statement if expression, break, end or if expression statements [elseif expression statements] [else expression end
