More about Matlab
MatLab is an interactive system whose basic data element is an array that does not require dimensioning.
The name MatLab stands for MATrix LABoratory MatLab features a family of add-on application-
specific solutions called toolboxes Toolboxes are comprehensive collections of MatLab
functions (M-files) that extend the MatLab environment to solve particular classes of problems
UD Dwivedi 7
Construction
Core functionality: compiled C-routinesMost functionality is given as m-files, grouped into toolboxes
m-files contain source code, can be copied and altered m-files are platform independent (PC, Unix/Linux, MAC)
Simulation of dynamical systems is performed in Simulink

How to start and exit Matlab
On a Microsoft Windows platform, to start MATLAB, double-click the MATLAB shortcut icon on
your Windows desktop. After starting MATLAB, the MATLAB desktop opens
Note the >> is the matlab command prompt To end your MATLAB session, select Exit MATLAB
from the File menu in the desktop, or type quit in theCommand Window.
Note that nothing is saved when you exit, you will not be prompted to save
UD Dwivedi 9
MATLAB Desktop
When you start MATLAB, the MATLAB desktop appears, containing tools (graphical user interfaces) for managing files, variables, and applications associated with MATLAB.
The first time MATLAB starts, the desktop appears as shown in the following illustration, although your Launch Pad may contain different entries.

MATLAB Desktop, Cont.
When launching Matlab, it brings up a desktop with pull-down menus and various windows. These windows are:
Command Window: This is the main window for issuing commands and seeing results, and is what has been used in this class up to now.
Command History: An ordered list of all commands issued in the Command Window.
Current Directory: The files in the user directory currently available for use in the Command Window.
Workspace: a list of variables that have been used in the Command Window.
Launch Pad: a variety of packages that may be available with Matlab. We won't consider this window further.

Using Matlab help
Information about Matlab commands can be found either by issuing the help command, or by using the Help Window.
Just typing help brings up a list of packages containing functions and symbols:
>> help HELP topics: matlab/general - General purpose commands. matlab/elmat - Elementary matrices and matrix manipulation. matlab/elfun - Elementary math functions. matlab/specfun - Specialized math functions, etc. control\control - Control System Toolbox
Importantfor this course
UD Dwivedi 15
Using Matlab help, Cont.
We could then look at the elfun package, which contains some elementary functions.
>> help elfunElementary math functions.Trigonometric.
sin - Sine.sinh - Hyperbolic sine.asin - Inverse sine.asinh - Inverse hyperbolic sine.cos - Cosine.cosh - Hyperbolic cosine.acos - Inverse cosine, etc.
UD Dwivedi 16
Help Window
You can also use the Help Window, activated from the desktop. For example, let's look up information on the Matlab’s functions by category. (see next slide)
UD Dwivedi 17
UD Dwivedi 18
Help Window, Cont.
From the tabs in the Help Navigator, you can use an index, or search for keywords or explicit function names (e.g. atan) or concepts.
The description of the arctangent function is much more detailed than typing help atan, and includes graphs and examples in a nice layout.
You can also use the helpwin command to display the above help text inside the deskptop Help Window:
helpwin atan The command doc goes directly to the help text above,
without the extra step involved in helpwin to click on a link: doc atan

Matlab Basics. What Matlab operates on?
MATLAB works with scalars, vectors and matrices.
A scalar is just a number, a 1x1 matrix. A vector is a list of numbers, effectively a
matrix, given as either a row or a column. In this sense, everything that MATLAB
operates on is a matrix. The best way to get started with MATLAB is
to learn how to handle matrices.
UD Dwivedi 21
Uses of MATLAB? MATLAB is an interactive program for scientific and
engineering numeric calculation. It integrates computation, visualization, and
programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation.
Typical uses include: Math and computation Algorithm development Modeling, simulation, and prototyping Scientific and engineering graphics
UD Dwivedi 22
Command Window
Command Window is used to enter variables and run functions and M-files.
Navigation within MATLAB is done using regular UNIX commands cd (change directory) pwd (show the path) ls (list contents of directory) whos (list of the variable stored in the memory)
UD Dwivedi 23
Command WindowGetting help from the command window
help <function_name> (show the help document for a given function)
P.S.If you want to have an help for your own functions, you can write it at
the beginning of the function as :
% your own help. After this statement, the matlab file will start.

UD Dwivedi 26
Arrays The fundamental unit of data in MATLAB
Scalars are also treated as arrays by MATLAB (1 row and 1 column).
Row and column indices of an array start from 1.
Arrays can be classified as vectors andmatrices.
UD Dwivedi 27
Vector: Array with one dimension
Matrix: Array with more than one dimension
Size of an array is specified by the number of rows and the number of columns, with the number of rows mentioned first (For example: n x m array).Total number of elements in an array is the product of the number of rows and the numberof columns.
UD Dwivedi 28
Initializing Variables in Assignment Statements Arrays are constructed using brackets and
semicolons. All of the elements of an array are listed in row order.
The values in each row are listed from left to right and they are separated by blank spaces or commas.
The rows are separated by semicolons or new lines. The number of elements in every row of an array
must be the same.
UD Dwivedi 29
Special Values pi: π value up to 15 significant digits i, j: sqrt(-1) Inf: infinity (such as division by 0) NaN: Not-a-Number (division of zero by zero) clock: current date and time in the form of a 6-
element row vector containing the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second
date: current date as a string such as 16-Feb-2004 eps: epsilon is the smallest difference between two
numbers ans: stores the result of an expression

UD Dwivedi 33
Calculator functions work as you'd expect: >>(1+4)*3 ans = 15 + and - are addition, / is division, * is multiplication, ^ is an
exponent.
You can assign variables from the matlab workspace.
Everything in matlab is a matrix. (If it's a scalar, it's actually a 1x1 matrix, and if it's a vector, it's an Nx1 or 1xN matrix.)
>>a = 3 a = 3
UD Dwivedi 34
To create a vector is pretty similar. Each element is separated by spaces, the whole vector is in
square brackets: >>v = [1 3 6 8 9]
To create a vector of values going in even steps from one value to another value, you would use
>>b = 1:.5:10
To turn a row vector into a column vector, just put a ' at the end of it. (This is also how to get the transpose of a matrix.) To create a matrix, you could do something like:
c = [1 3 6; 2 7 9; 4 3 1] The semicolons indicate the end of a row. All rows have to be the
same length.
UD Dwivedi 35
Dealing with Matrices
Once you have a matrix, you can refer to specific elements in it.
Matlab indexes matrices by row and column. c(3,1) is the element in the third row, 1st column, which is 4. c(2:3,1:2) gives you the elements in rows 2-3, and columns 1-2, so you get 2 74 3
as a result. c(1:3,2) gives you the elements in rows 1-3, and the second column, that is, the entire second column. You can shortcut this to: c(:,2)
You can get a whole row of a matrix with c(1,:)
UD Dwivedi 36
Help and other tools
Typing "help" at the matlab prompt gives you a list of all the possible directories matlab can find commands in (which also tells you its "search path", or a list of the directories it is looking in for commands.)
Typing "help directoryname" gives you a list of the commands in that directory and a short description of them.
Typing "help commandname" gives you help on a specific command.
Typing "lookfor keyword" gives you a list of commands that use that keyword. ie, "lookfor integral" lists commands that deal with integrals. It's pretty slow, choose the word wisely. You can use control-c to stop searching when you think you've found what you need.
Typing "doc" starts up a web browser with the Matlab. This includes the entire reference manual for matlab, a whole lot of other information on using matlab, and a pointer to the Matlab Primer, a good introduction to using Matlab.
UD Dwivedi 37
Some Useful Tools:
If you accidentally reassign a function name to a variable (ie, you try saying sum = 3 and then you get errors when you try to use the sum function because it doesn't know it's a function anymore), you can restore it to its normal state using "clear functionname". You can also use clear to get rid of all variable values with "clear all".
Warning: Never use any key word as the variable name
UD Dwivedi 38
who will tell you all the variables you have currently defined.
whos will tell you the variables, their sizes, and some other info.
pi is a function of that returns the value of pi.
eps is a function that returns Matlab's smallest floating point
number.
UD Dwivedi 39
format long and format short switch between the long and short display format of
numbers. Either way matlab uses the same number of digits for its calculations, but normally (format short) it will only display the first four digits after the decimal point.
Typing type Function name for any function in Matlab's search path lets you see
how that function is written.
Check difference between commands help and type
UD Dwivedi 40
Plotting
The basic syntax to get a plot in matlab is plot(x1,y1)
(The x values always come before the y values, x1 and y1 represent variables that your data is stored in.) If you type a second plot command later, it will clear your first plot. If you type "hold on" it will hold the current plot so you can add plots on top of one another (until you reset it by typing "hold off".)
You can plot multiple values with plot(x1,y1,x2,y2)and you can specify the color and linetype of a plot as something like plot(x1,y1,'w*') to get white *'s for each data point
UD Dwivedi 41
To split your plot into a bunch of smaller plots, you can use the subplot command to split it up into rows and columns.
subplot(r,c,n) will split the plot window into r rows and c columns of plots
and set the current plot to plot number n of those rows and columns.
You can add titles, labels, and legends to plots. title('This is a Title') xlabel('My X axis') ylabel('My Y axis') legend('First Thing Plotted','Second Thing Plotted')

Printing, Saving, and Loading
Basic printing >>print –Pprintername
You can also save to a Postscript or Encapsulated Postscript file:
>>print -dps filename.ps >>prind -deps filename.eps
You can also save your plot as an m-file (matlab script) which should contain all the commands you need to recreate your plot later.
>>print -dmfile filename.m
UD Dwivedi 44
You can save and load files as either text data or matlab's own data format. If you have a text file consisting of a bunch of columns of data separated by spaces or tabs, you can load it into matlab with
load filename.dat
The above command will give you a matrix called filename. Then you can reassign columns of that matrix, i.e.
col1 = filename(:,1);
UD Dwivedi 45
When you save data using the command save filename.mat
matlab will save all of your variables and their values in its own format, so that when you load it using load filename.mat
you will have all of your variables already defined and names.
UD Dwivedi 46
Writing Functions and Scripts
All matlab functions and scripts are plain text files that contain matlab commands. Matlab will treat any file that ends in .m as either a function or a script.
Scripts A script is just a list of commands to be run in some
order. Placing these commands in a file that ends in .mallows you to "run" the script by typing its name at the command line. You type the name of the script without the .m at the end.
UD Dwivedi 47
Functions A function is capable of taking particular variables
(called arguments) and doing something specific to "return" some particular type of result. A function needs to start with the line function return-values = functionname(arguments)
so that matlab will recognize it as a function. Each function needs to have its own file, and the file has to have the same name as the function. If the first line of the function is function answer = myfun(arg1,arg2) answer = (arg1+arg2)./arg1
UD Dwivedi 48
In this case the file must be named myfun.m.
The function has arg1 and arg2 to work with inside the function, and by the end of the function, anything that is supposed to be returned should have a value assigned to it.
This particular function is just one line long, and it returns answer, which is defined in terms of the two arguments arg1 and arg2.
UD Dwivedi 49
Global Variables
When you define a variable at the matlab prompt, it is defined inside of matlab's "workspace." Running a script does not affect this, since a script is just a collection of commands, and they're actually run from the same workspace. If you define a variable in a script, it will stay defined in the workspace.
Functions, on the other hand, do not share the same workspace. A function won't know what a variable is unless the it gets the variable as an argument, or unless the variable is defined as a variable that is shared by the function and the matlab workspace, or a global variable.
To use a global variable, every place (function, script, or at the matlab prompt) that needs to share that variable must have a line near the top identifying it as a global variable, ie:
global phi;
Then when the variable is assigned a value in one of those places, it will have a value in all the places that begin with the global statement.
UD Dwivedi 50
Debugging Functions
Matlab has an extensive debugger that allows you to examine what is going on inside a function when you encounter problems with it. If you type "help debug" at the matlab prompt, it will list all of the debugging commands available. Debugging commands.
dbstop - Set breakpoint. dbclear - Remove breakpoint. dbcont - Resume execution. dbdown - Change local workspace context. dbstack - List who called whom. dbstatus - List all breakpoints. dbstep - Execute one or more lines. dbtype - List M-file with line numbers. dbup - Change local workspace context. dbquit - Quit debug mode.

Advanced operations in Matlab
Variables MATLAB does not require any type
declarations!
Real scalar: >> x=1 Complex scalar: >> x=1+2i Row vector: >> x=[1 2 3] Column vector: >> x=[1; 2; 3] 2x2 Matrix: >> x=[1 2; 3 4]You can define global variables by putting in front
the variable the statement global.
UD Dwivedi 53
Complex numbers
Some useful operations on complex numbers:
Complex scalar >> x = 3+4j Real part of x >> real(x) ->3 Imaginary part of x >> imag(x) ->4 Magnitude of x >> abs(x) ->5 Angle of x >> angle(x) ->0.9273 Complex conjugate of x >> conj(x) ->3 - 4i
UD Dwivedi 54
Generating vectors>> x=[a:step:b] Generate a vector that takes on the values a to b
in increments of step>> x=linspace(a,b,n) generates a row vector x of n points linearly
spaced between a and b>> x=logspace(a,b,20) generates a logarithmically spaced vector x of n
points between 10^a and 10^b.
UD Dwivedi 55
Generating matrices Matrix building functions:
>> A=zeros(m,n) returns an m-by-n matrix of zeros
>> A=ones(m,n) returns an m-by-n matrix of 1s
>> A=eye(m,n) returns an m-by-n matrix with 1's on the diagonal
and 0's elsewhere
UD Dwivedi 56
Generating random matrices>> A=rand(m,n)
returns an m-by-n matrix of random numbers whose elements are uniformly distributed in the interval (0,1)
>> A=randn(m,n) returns an m-by-n matrix of random numbers whose
elements are normally distributed with mean 0 and variance 1
>> A=randint(m,n,range) generates an m-by-n integer matrix. The entries are
uniformly distributed and independently chosen from the range: [0, range-1] if range is a positive integer [range+1, 0] if range is a negative integer
UD Dwivedi 57
Accessing matrix elements Elements of a matrix are accessed by specifying the row
and column>> A=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9];>> x=A(1,3)
Returns the element in the first row and third column>> y=A(2,:)
Returns the entire second row [4 5 6] “:” means “take all the entries in the column”
>> B=A(1:2,1:3) Returns a submatrix of A consisting of rows 1 and 2
and all three columns [1 2 3; 4 5 6]
UD Dwivedi 58
Arithmetic matrix operation
The basic arithmetic operations on matrices are:
+ addition - subtraction * multiplication / division ^ power ’ conjugate transpose
UD Dwivedi 59
element-by-element operations
MATLAB provides element-by-element operations by prepending a ‘.’ before the operator
.* multiplication ./ division .^ power .’ transpose (unconjugated)
UD Dwivedi 60
Relational operations
MATLAB defines the following relational operations:
< less than <= less than or equal to > greater than >= greater than or equal to == equal to ~= not equal to
UD Dwivedi 61
Logical operations
MATLAB defines the following logical operations:
& and | or ~ not
UD Dwivedi 62
Math functions
The following functions operate element-wise when applied to a matrix:
sin cos tanasin acos atansinh cosh tanhexp log(natural log) log10abs sqrt sign
UD Dwivedi 63
M-files MATLAB is an interpretive language M-files are text files containing MATLAB scripts Scripts are sequences of commands typed by an
editor The instructions are executed by typing the file
name in the command window at the MATLAB prompt
All the variables used in the m-file are placed in MATLAB’s workspace that contains all the variables defined in the MATLAB session
UD Dwivedi 64
M-files Debug
In Matlab you can debug your m-file, like in other programming languages
To do it, you need to open your matlab file from the window command.
Afterwards, you can operate exactly like for other languages and you can use usual command as:
step instep outbreak pointetc. etc

Function in MatlabTo simplify your matlab file structure, you
can use functions. An example of how to use matlab functions is the following:
Main Matlab Programa = 10; b = 20;c = my_sum(a,b);
Function declaration:function y = my_sum(m,n)y = m + n ;return(y) // give the file name of function same as function name e.g. my_sum.m
UD Dwivedi 68
Entering Matrices
We can enter matrices into MATLAB in several different ways:
1. Enter an explicit list of elements.2. Load matrices from external data files.3. Generate matrices using built-in functions.4. Create matrices with your own functions in M-files.
We have only to follow a few basic conventions:
1. Separate the elements of a row with blanks or commas.2. Use a semicolon, ; , to indicate the end of each row.3. Surround the entire list of elements with square brackets, [ ].
UD Dwivedi 69
Matlab Statements and Variables
MATLAB is an expression language. It interprets and evaluates expressions typed in the command window at the keyboard.
You are allowed to assign a name to an expression.
Statements are usually in the form ofvariable = expression,e.g. A = magic(4)
UD Dwivedi 70
Interactive Calculations Matlab is interactive, no need to declare variables >> 2+3*4/2

You can use commas to put more than one command on a line. Pi, i, and j are contants.
c = sin(pi)eps
c = 1.2246e-016ans = 2.2204e-016
"eps" is the current limit of precision. Anything smaller than eps is probably zero. Note that Matlab understands (and expects you to understand!) scientific notation.

Using Powers with Matrices
A^p raises A to p-th power and is defined if A is a square matrix and p is a scalar.
If p is an integer greater than 1, the power is computed by repeated multiplication.
For other values of p, the calculation involves eigenvalues (D) and eigenvectors (V):if [V,D] = eig(A), thenthen A^p = V*D.^p/V
X^P, where both X and P a matrices, is an error.

Deleting rows and columns You can delete rows and columns from a matrix
using just a pair of square brackets. Start with X = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 0]
Then, to delete the second column of X, useX(:,2) = [ ];
Thus, X = [ 1 34 67 0 ]
If you delete a single element from a matrix, the result isn't a matrix anymore.
So, expressions likeX(1,2) = [ ], result in an error.

M - files You can create your own matrices using M-files,
which are text files containing MATLAB code. Use the MATLAB Editor or another text editor to
create a file containing the same statements you would type at the MATLAB command line. Save the file under a name that ends in .m.
For example, create a file containing these two lines.A = [ 16.0 3.0 2.0 13.0; 5.0 10.0 11.0 8.0; …
9.0 6.0 7.0 12.0; 4.0 15.0 14.0 1.0 ]; Store the file under the name magik.m. Then the
statement magik reads the file and creates variable, A, containing our example matrix.

Solving System of Linear Equations
One of the main uses of matrices is in representing systems of linear equations.
If a is a matrix containing the coefficients of a system of linear equations, x is a column vector containing the "unknowns," and b is the column vector of "right-hand sides," the constant terms, then the matrix equation
a x =b
represents the system of equations
UD Dwivedi 99
Solving equations, Cont.
MATLAB uses the division terminologyfamiliar in the scalar case to describe the solution of a general system of simultaneous equations.
The two division symbols, slash, /, and backslash, \, are used for the two situations where the unknown matrix appears on the leftor right of the coefficient matrix.
UD Dwivedi 100
Solving equations, Cont. X = A\B denotes the solution to the matrix equation
AX = B. X = B/A denotes the solution to the matrix equation
XA = B. The dimension compatibility conditions for X = A\B
require the two matrices A and B to have the same number of rows.
The solution X then has the same number of columns as B and its row dimension is equal to the column dimension of A.
For X = B/A, the roles of rows and columns are interchanged.
UD Dwivedi 101
Solving equations, Cont.
In practice, linear equations of the form AX = Boccur more frequently than those of the form XA = B. Consequently, backslash is used far more frequently than slash.
The coefficient matrix A need not be square. If A is m-by-n, there are three cases.
1. m = n, Square system. Seek an exact solution.2. m > n, Overdetermined system. Find a least squares
solution.3. m < n, Underdetermined system. Find a basic solution
with at most m nonzero components.
UD Dwivedi 102
Solving equations, an Example
To solve the equation a x =b in matlab simply type x = a \ b
Which reads “x equals a-inverse times b” Try it with
a = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 10]; b = [1 1 1]';
You should get x =
-1 1 0
UD Dwivedi 103
Solving equations, an Example, Cont.
To verify this assertion, try this:a*x, a*x - b, epsThe results are:ans = 1 1 1ans = 1.0e-015 *
-0.1110-0.6661-0.2220
ans = 2.2204e-016 Notice that a*x - b is very close to eps - which
means that it is as close to zero as possible.
UD Dwivedi 104
Solving equations, an Example, Cont.
If there is no solution, a "least-squares" solution is provided (a*x - b is as small as possible). Enter a(3,3) = 9; b = [1 1 0]';(which makes the matrix singular and changes b) and try to solve the equation again.
Notice that the solution is quite inaccurate.

When you exit matlab you will not be prompted to save
You can turn on logging diary '~/session.txt‘
this will save output and input together and therefore can not be used as a script
You may just want to save one or more matrices save x.value x -ascii

Line styles and colors
It is possible to specify color, line styles, and markerswhen you plot your data using the plot command
plot(x,y,'color_style_marker') color_style_marker is a string containing from one to four
characters constructed from a color, a line style, and a marker type: Color strings: 'c', 'm', 'y', 'r', 'g', 'b', 'w', and 'k'. These
correspond to cyan, magenta, yellow, red, green, blue, white, and black
Linestyle strings are '-' for solid, '--' for dashed, ':' for dotted, '-.' for dash-dot, and 'none' for no line
The marker types are '+', 'o', '*' and 'x'
