Arguments of fzero
● x is the solution, which is a scalar.
● Function is the function to be solved. It can be entered in several different
ways:
○ The simplest way is to enter the mathematical expression as a string.
○ The function is first created as a user-defined function in a function file and then
the function handle is entered.
○ The function is first created as an anonymous function and then the name of the
anonymous function (which is the name of the handle) is entered
Arguments of fzero
● x is the solution, which is a scalar or x is a vector of 2 values - interval in
which zero of function lies.
● The function has to be written in a standard form.
● When a function is entered as an expression (string), it cannot include
predefined variables.
● When a function has more than one solution, each solution can be
determined separately by using the fzero function and entering values for x0
that are near each of the solutions.
● A good way to find approximately where a function has a solution is to make a
plot of the function.
Example
Fzero Function
● The fzero command finds zeros of a function only where the function crosses
the x-axis. The command does not find a zero at points where the function
touches but does not cross the x-axis.
● If a solution cannot be determined, NaN is assigned to x.
● The fzero command has additional options is:
○ [x fval]=fzero(function, x0) assigns the value of the function at x to the variable
fval.
● When the function can be written in the form of a polynomial, the solution, or
the roots, can be found with the roots command
● The fzero command can also be used to find the value of x where the function
has a specific value. This is done by translating the function up or down.
Maxima & Minima
Example
Maxima
Numerical Integration
● MATLAB built-in integration functions quad, quadl, integral and trapz.
● The quad, quadl and integral commands are used for integration when f(x) is
a function.
● trapz is used when is f(x) is given by data points.
Numerical Integration
Stiff Equation
In mathematics, a stiff equation is a differential equation for which certain
numerical methods for solving the equation are numerically unstable, unless the
step size is taken to be extremely small. It has proven difficult to formulate a
precise definition of stiffness, but the main idea is that the equation includes some
terms that can lead to rapid variation in the solution.
