Dear All,

I want to create FOR LOOP by Matlab to solve this equation :

x(t+dt)=(dt*A+I)*x(t)+B*dt

in which

A =[0 1;-6 -5]
I=eye(2)
B=[0;1]
dt=0.01

initial condition

x(0)=[0;0]
x(t) = vector 2x1

Any one can give me some ideas ?

I have created some scripts in m file as per below :

ft=1; % Step Input
dt=0.01; % Time Interval (can be changed)
t_end=5; % End of Time for plotting (fix)
Nstep=round(t_end/dt);
Xo=zeros(2,1); % Initial Condition for X, at t=0
Xdot0=A*Xo+B*ft; % Intitial Condition for Xdot, at t=0
Y=C*Xdot0; % Intitial Condition for Y, at t=0
I=eye(size(A)); % Identity Matrix
for i=1:Nstep
x(i)= Xo
x(i+1)=(dt*A+I)*x(i)+B*dt;
end

However, It does not work

Thanks a lot

Hi Greg,


Please neglect Y=C*Xdot0 and Xdot0=A*Xo+B*ft

the problem is only inside the 'for loop'.

Thanks a lot

Well, there is certainly a problem in there, and I found the error message remarkably informative. It tells me which line the first error is on and what the problem is.

Personally I think you have got the algorithm completely wrong, but I don't play guessing games with bits of code.





Cheers

Could it possibly that you're setting x(i) to zero at each iteration?

Is this for school? Student postings are not allowed.

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!
