W5 Lesson 3 - Converting To Parallel and Distributed Simulation - Lecture PDF

Matrix operations in Scilab include addition, subtraction, multiplication, transpose, inversion, and determinant. Examples show defining and manipulating matrices, such as transposing matrix a and storing it in b, adding a and b and storing the result in c, and inverting matrix f and storing the result in g. The document also demonstrates using built-in functions to generate commonly used matrices, such as zero matrices with zeros(), identity matrices with eye(), and diagonal matrices. Creating vectors from ranges is also illustrated, such as the vector [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] from the range 1:5.

Lesson 3 – Matrix Operations

Matrix operations built-in into Scilab include addition, subtraction, multiplication,


transpose, inversion, determinant, trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential functions and many
others. Study the following examples:
-->a=[1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]; Define a 3x3 matrix. Semicolons indicate end of a row
-->b=a'; Transpose a and store it in b. Apostrophe (') is the transpose
operator.
-->c=a+b Add a to b and store the result in c. a and b must be of the
same size. Otherwise, Scilab will report an error.
-->d=a-b Subtract b from a and store the result in d.
-->e=a*b Multiply a with b and store the result in e. a and b must be
compatible for matrix multiplication.
-->f=[3 1 2; 1 5 3; 2 3 6]; Define a 3x3 matrix with name f.
-->g=inv(f) Invert matrix f and store the result in g. f must be square
and positive definite. Scilab will display a warning if it is ill
conditioned.
-->f*g The answer must be an identity matrix
-->det(f) Determinant of f.
-->log(a) Matrix of log of each element of a.
-->a .* b Element by element multiplication.
-->a^2 Same as a*a.
-->a .^2 Element by element square.

There are some handy utility functions to generate commonly used matrices, such as zero
matrices, identity matrices, diagonal matrices, matrix containing randomly generated numbers
etc.

-->a=zeros(5,8) Creates a 5x8 matrix with all elements zero.


-->b=ones(4,6) Creates a 4x6 matrix with all elements 1
-->c=eye(3,3) Creates a 3x3 identity matrix
-->d=eye(3,3)*10 Creates a 3x3 diagonal matrix, with diagonal elements equal to 10.

It is possible to generate a range of numbers to form a vector. Study the following


commands:

-->a=[1:5] Creates a vector with 5 elements as follows [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]


-->b=[0:0.5:5] Creates a vector with 11 elements as follows [0, 0.5, 1.0,
1.5, ... 4.5, 5.0]

A range requires a start value, an increment and an end value, separated by colons (:). If
only two values are given (separated by only one colon), they are taken to be the start and end
values and the increment is assumed to be 1 (a:b is the short form for a:1:b, where a and b
are numbers). The increment must be negative when the start value is greater than the end value.
You can create an empty matrix with the command:
-->a=[ ]
