Finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors
Eigenvalue problem in scientific computations shows up as:
A v = λ v
The problem is to find ‘λ’ and ‘v’ for a given ‘A’ so that above eq. is satisfied:
Method 1: Classical method by using pencil and paper:
a) Finding eigenvalues from the determinant eqn.

Curve Fitting
What is curve fitting ?
It is a technique of finding an algebraic relationship that “best”
fits a given set of data.
There is no magical function that can give you this relationship.
You have to have an idea of what kind of relationship might exist
between the input data (x) and output data (y).
If you do not have a firm idea but you have data that you trust,
MATLAB can help you to explore the best possible fit.
Curve Fitting (Contd…)
Example 1 : straight line (linear) fit:
Step 1: Plot raw data:
Enter the data in MATLAB and plot it:
>> x = [ 5 10 20 50 100];
>> y = [15 33 53 140 301];
>> plot (x,y,’o’)
>> grid
301140533315Y
1005020105x
Curve Fitting (Contd…)
Example 2 : Comparing different fits:
x = 0: pi/30 : pi/3
y = sin(x) + rand (size(x))/100
Step 1: Plot raw data:
>> plot (x,y,’o’)
>> grid
Step 2: Use basic fitting to do a quadratic and cubic fit
Step 3 : Choose the best fit based on the residuals
Interpolation
What is interpolation ?
It is a technique of finding a functional relationship between
variables such that a given set of discrete values of the variables
satisfy that relationship.
Usually, we get a finite set of data points from experiments.
When we want to pass a smooth curve through these points or
find some intermediate points, we use the technique of
interpolation.
Interpolation is NOT curve fitting, in that it requires the
interpolated curve to pass through all the data points.
Data can be interpolated using Splines or Hermite interpolants.
Interpolation (Contd…)
MATLAB provides the following functions to facilitate
interpolation:
interp1 : One data interpolation i.e. given yi and xi, finds yj at
desired xj from yj = f(xj).
ynew = interp1(x,y,xnew, method)
interp2 : Two dimensional data interpolation i.e. given zi at
(xi,yi) from z = f(x,y).
znew = interp2(x,y,z,xnew,ynew, method)
interp3 : Three dimensional data interpolation i.e. given vi at
(xi,yi,zi) from v = f(x,y,z).
vnew = interp2(x,y,z,v,xnew,ynew,znew,
method)
spline : ynew = spline(x,y,xnew, method)
Interpolation (Contd…)
Example:
x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9]
y = [1 4 9 16 25 36 49
64 81]
Find the value of 5.5?
Method 1: Linear Interpolation
MATLAB Command :
>> yi=interp1(x,y,5.5,'linear')
yi = 30.5000
Interpolation (Contd…)
Method 2: Cubic Interpolation
MATLAB Command :
>> yi = interp1(x,y,5.5,’cubic')
yi =
30.2479
Method 3: Spline Interpolation
MATLAB Command :
>> yi = interp1(x,y,5.5,’spline')
yi =
30.2500
Note: 5.5*5.5=
Data Analysis and statistics
It includes various tasks, such as finding mean, median,
standard deviation, etc.
MATLAB provides an easy graphical interface to do such type of
tasks.
As a first step, you should plot your data in the form you wish.
Then go to the figure window and select data statistics from the
tools menu.
Any of the statistical measures can be seen by checking the
appropriate box.

x = [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

It can be performed directly by using MATLAB commands also:
Consider:
x = [1 2 3 4 5]
mean (x) : Gives arithmetic mean of ‘x’ or the avg. data.
MATLAB usage: mean (x) gives 3.
median (x) : gives the middle value or arithmetic mean of two middle
Numbers.
MATLAB usage: median (x) gives 3.
Std(x): gives the standard deviation
Max(x)/min(x): gives the largest/smallest value
Solving nonlinear algebraic equations
Step 1: Write the equation in the standard form:
f(x) = 0
Step 2: Write a function that computes f(x).
Step 3: Use the built-in function fzero to find the solution.

Optimization through MATLAB
Consider initially the problem of finding a minimum
to the function:
MATLAB function FMINCON solves problems of the form:
min F(X)
subject to: A*X <= B, Aeq*X = Beq (linear constraints)
C(X) <= 0, Ceq(X) = 0 (nonlinear constraints)
LB <= X <= UB
X = FMINCON(FUN,X0,A,B) starts at X0 and finds a minimum
X to the function FUN, subject to the linear inequalities A*X <= B.
X=FMINCON(FUN,X0,A,B,Aeq,Beq) minimizes FUN subject to
the linear equalities:
Aeq*X = Beq as well as A*X <= B.
(Set A=[ ] and B=[ ] if no inequalities exist.)
Optimization through MATLAB
(Contd…)
X=FMINCON(FUN,X0,A,B,Aeq,Beq,LB,UB) defines a set of
lower and upper bounds on the design variables, X, so that the
solution is in the range LB <= X <= UB.
Use empty matrices for LB and UB if no bounds exist.
Set LB(i) = -Inf if X(i) is unbounded below; and set UB(i) = Inf if X(i)
is unbounded above.
X=FMINCON(FUN,X0,A,B,Aeq,Beq,LB,UB,NONLCON) subjects
the minimization to the constraints defined in NONLCON.
The function NONLCON accepts X and returns the vectors C and
Ceq, representing the nonlinear inequalities and equalities
respectively.

Basic questions about system
identification
What is system identification?
� It enables you to build mathematical models of a
dynamic system based on measured data.
� You adjust the parameters of a given model until its
output coincides as well as possible with the
measured output.
How do you know if the model is any good?
� A good test is to compare the output of the model to
measured data that was not used for the fit.
Basic questions about system
identification (contd…)
What models are most common?
� The most common models are difference-equation
descriptions, such as ARX and ARMAX models, as
well as all types of linear state-space models.
• Do you have to assume a model of a particular
type?
� For parametric models, you specify the model
structure. This can be as easy as selecting a single
integer -- the model order -- or it can involve several
choices.
Basic questions about system
identification (contd…)
What does the System Identification Toolbox
contain?
� It contains all the common techniques used to
adjust parameters in all kinds of linear models.
• How do I get started?
� If you are a beginner, browse through The
Graphical User Interface. Use the graphical user
interface (GUI) and check out the built-in help
functions.
Basic questions about system
identification (contd…)
Is this really all there is to system identification?
� There is a great deal written on the subject of
system identification.
� However, the best way to explore system
identification is by working with real data.
� It is important to remember that any estimated
model, no matter how good it looks on your screen,
is only a simplified reflection of reality.
Common terms used in system
identification
Estimation data: The data set that is used to create
a model of the data.
Validation data: The data set (different from
estimation data) that is used to validate the model.
Model views: The various ways of inspecting the
properties of a model, such as zeros and poles, as
well as transient and frequency responses.
Common terms used in system
identification (contd…)
Model sets or model structures are families of
models with adjustable parameters.
Parameter estimation is the process of finding the
"best" values of these adjustable parameters.
The system identification problem is to find both
the model structure and good numerical values of
the model parameters.
Common terms used in system
identification (contd…)
• This is a matter of using numerical search to find
those numerical values of the parameters that give
the best agreement between the model's (simulated
or predicted) output and the measured output.
• Nonparametric identification methods: Techniques
to estimate model behavior without necessarily
using a given parameterized model set.
• Model validation is the process of gaining
confidence in a model.
Basic Steps for System
Identification
Import data from the MATLAB workspace.
Plot the data using Data Views.
Preprocess the data using commands in the
Preprocess menu.
For example, you can remove constant offsets or
linear trends (for linear models only), filter data, or
select regions of interest.
Basic Steps for System

Solution of Ordinary Differential
Equations and Engineering Computing
(Lecture 6)
P Bharani Chandra Kumar
Introduction
DSOLVE Symbolic solution of ordinary differential equations.
DSOLVE('eqn1','eqn2', ...) accepts symbolic equations representing ordinary differential equations and initial conditions.
Several equations or initial conditions may be grouped together, separated by commas, in a single input argument.
By default, the independent variable is 't'.
The independent variable may be changed from 't' to some other symbolic variable by including that variable as the last input argument.
Introduction (contd…)
The letter 'D' denotes differentiation with respect to the independent variable, i.e. usually d/dt.
A "D" followed by a digit denotes repeated differentiation; e.g., D2 is d^2/dt^2.
Any characters immediately following these differentiation operators are taken to be the dependent variables; e.g., D3y denotes the third derivative of y(t).
Note that the names of symbolic variables should not contain the letter "D".
Introduction (contd…)
Initial conditions are specified by equations like 'y(a)=b' or 'Dy(a) = b' where y is one of the dependent variables and a and b are constants.
If the number of initial conditions given is less than the number of dependent variables, the resulting solutions will obtain arbitrary constants, C1, C2, etc.
Three different types of output are possible. For one equation and one output, the resulting solution is returned, with multiple solutions to a nonlinear equation in a symbolic vector.
Introduction (contd…)
If no closed-form (explicit) solution is found, an implicit solution is attempted. When an implicit solution is returned, a warning is given.
If neither an explicit nor implicit solution can be computed, then a warning is given and the empty sym is returned.
In some cases concerning nonlinear equations, the output will be an equivalent lower order differential equation or an integral.
Examples
1) dsolve('Dx = -a*x') returns
ans: exp(-a*t)*C1
2) x = dsolve('Dx = -a*x','x(0) = 1','s') returns
ans: x = exp(-a*s)
3) y = dsolve('(Dy)^2 + y^2 = 1','y(0) = 0') returns
ans: y =
[ sin(t)]
[ -sin(t)]
Examples (contd…)
4) S = dsolve('Df = f + g','Dg = -f + g','f(0) = 1','g(0) = 2')
Ans: S.f = exp(t)*cos(t)+2*exp(t)*sin(t)
S.g = -exp(t)*sin(t)+2*exp(t)*cos(t)
5) dsolve('Df = f + sin(t)', 'f(pi/2) = 0')
Ans: -1/2*cos(t)- 1/2*sin(t)+1/2*exp(t)/(cosh(1/2*pi)+
sinh(1/2*pi))

Modifying plots with the plot editor
� To activate this tool go to figure window and click on the left-leaning arrow
� Now you can select and double click on any object in the current plot to edit it.
� Double clicking on the selected object brings up a property editor window where you can select and modify the current properties of the object
Subplots
>> t=linspace(0,2*pi,10); y=sin(t); z=cos(t);
>> figure
>> subplot(2,1,1)
>> subplot(2,1,2)
>> subplot(2,1,1); plot(t,y)
>> subplot(2,1,2); plot(t,z)

Handle Graphics
Handle Graphics Objects
� Handle Graphics is an object-oriented structure for creating, manipulating and displaying graphics
� Graphics in Matlab consist of objects
� Every graphics objects has:
– a unique identifier, called handle
– a set of characteristics, called properties
Getting object handles
There are two ways for getting object handles
• By creating handles explicitly at the object-creation level commands
• By using explicit handle return functions
Getting object handles
� By creating handles explicitly at the object-
creation level commands
>> hfig=figure
>> haxes=axes(‘position’,[0.1 0.1 0.4 0.4])
>> t=linspace(0,pi,10);
>> hL = line(t,sin(t))
>> hx1 = xlabel(‘Angle’)
� By using explicit handle return functions
>> gcf gets the handle of the current
figure
>> gca gets handle of current axes
>> gco returns the current object in the
current figure
Getting object handles
� Example
>> figure
>> axes
>> line([1 2 3 4],[1 2 3 4])
>> hfig = gcf
>> haxes = gca
Click on the line in figure
>>hL=gco
Getting object handles
Getting properties of objects
� The function ‘get’ is used to get a property
value of an object specified by its handle
� get(handle,’PropertyName’)
� The following command will get a list of all
property names and their current values of an
object with handle h
� get(h)
Getting properties of objects
� Example
>> h1=plot([ 1 2 3 4]);returns a line
object
>> get(h1)
>> get(h1,’type’)
>> get(h1,’linestyle’)
Setting properties of objects
� The properties of the objects can be set by
using ‘set’ command which has the following
command form
� Set(handle, ‘PropertyName’,Propertyvalue’)
� By using following command you can see the
the list of properties and their values
� Set(handle)
Setting properties of objects
� example
>> t=linspace(0,pi,50);
>> x=t.*sin(t);
>> hL=line(t,x);
Setting properties of objects
>> set(hL,’linestyle’,’--’);
Setting properties of objects
>> set(hL,’linewidth’,3,’marker’,’o’)
Setting properties of objects
>> yvec = get(hL,’ydata’);
>> yvec(15:20) = 0;
>> yvec(40:45) = 0;
>> set(hL, ’ydata’, yvec)
Creating subplots using axes command
>> hfig=figure
>> ha1=axes(‘position’,[0.1 0.5 0.3 0.3])
>> line([1 2 3 4],[1 2 3 4])
>> ha2=axes(‘position’[0.5 0.5 0.3 0.3])
>> line([1 2 3 4],[ 1 10 100 1000])
>> ha3=axes(‘position’,[0.1 0.1 0.3 0.3])
>> line([1 2 3 4],[0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4])
>> ha4=axes(‘position’,[0.5 0.1 0.3 0.3])
>> line([1 2 3 4],[10 10 10 10])
