For example, consider the equation  This is the celebrated example Wallis used when he first represented Newton's method to the French Academy. To enter this polynomial into MATLAB, use p = [ ];

To evaluate p at s = 5, use >>polyval(p,5) ans = 110  It is also possible to evaluate a polynomial in a matrix sense. In this case becomes, where X is a square matrix and I is the identity matrix. For example, create a square matrix X and evaluate the polynomial p at X: >> X = [2 4 5; ; 7 1 5]; >> Y = polyvalm(p,X) Y=

Ahmed Ibrahim 4.ROOTS roots  The roots function calculates the roots of a polynomial: >>r = roots(p) r = i i poly  By convention, the MATLAB software stores roots in column vectors. The function poly returns to the polynomial coefficients:: >> p2 = poly(r) >> p2 = e  poly and roots are inverse functions.

To obtain the derivative of the polynomial p = [ ], >> q = polyder(p) q =  polyder also computes the derivative of the product or quotient of two polynomials. For example, create two polynomials a and b: >> a = [1 3 5]; >> b = [2 4 6];  Calculate the derivative of the product a*b by calling polyder with a single output argument: >> c = polyder(a,b) >> c =

7 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim polyder  Calculate the derivative of the quotient a/b by calling polyder with two output arguments: >> [q,d] = polyder(a,b) q = d = Where q/d is the result of the operation.

8 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim 6.CONVOLUTION conv deconv  Polynomial multiplication and division correspond to the operations convolution and deconvolution. The functions conv and deconv implement these operations.  Consider the polynomials and To compute their product, >> a = [1 2 3]; b = [4 5 6]; >> c = conv(a,b) c =

9 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  Use deconvolution to divide back out of the product: >> [q,r] = deconv(c,a) q = r =

11 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  Consider the transfer function >> b = [-4 8]; a = [1 6 8]; [r,p,k] = residue(b,a) r = p = k = []

12 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  Given three input arguments (r, p, and k), residue converts back to polynomial form: >> [num,den] = residue(r,p,k) b2 = -4 8 a2 =  The command printsys (num,den,‘s’) prints the num/den in terms of the ratio of polynomials in s. num/den = -4 s s^2 + 6 s + 8

13 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  The command ilaplace will find the inverse Laplace transform of a Laplace function. -4 s + 8 F(s) = s^2 + 6 s + 8 >> syms s >> f=(-4*s+8)/(s^2+6*s+8) f = -(4*s - 8)/(s^2 + 6*s + 8) >> ilaplace(f) ans = 8/exp(2*t) - 12/exp(4*t) >> pretty (ans) exp(2 t) exp(4 t)

14 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  Consider the transfer function  The MATLAB command [z,p,k] = tf2zp(num,dem) is used to find the zeros, poles, and gain K of B(s)/A(s).  If the zeros, poles, and gain K are given, the following MATLAB command can be used to find the original num/den: [num,den] = zp2tf (z,p,k) 7.2 Finding zeros and poles of B(s)/A(s)

15 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  Given three input arguments (r, p, and k), residue converts back to polynomial form: >> [num,den] = residue(r,p,k) b2 = -4 8 a2 =  The command printsys (num,den,‘s’) prints the num/den in terms of the ratio of polynomials in s. num/den = -4 s s^2 + 6 s + 8

16 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim 8.Polynomial Curve Fitting  polyfit finds the coefficients of a polynomial that fits a set of data in a least-squares sense: p = polyfit(x,y,n) p = polyfit(x,y,n) x and y are vectors containing the x and y data to be fitted, and n is the degree of the polynomial to return.  For example, consider the x-y test data >> x = [ ]; >> y = [ ]; A third degree polynomial that approximately fits the data is >> p = polyfit(x,y,3) p =

17 Eng. Mohamed El-Taher Eng. Ahmed Ibrahim  Compute the values of the polyfit estimate over a finer range, and plot the estimate over the real data values for comparison: >> x2 = 1:.1:5; >> y2 = polyval(p,x2); >> plot(x,y,'o',x2,y2) >> grid on
