The vector p can be specified by three components:

p =x i + y j + z k = [x, y, z].

Generally, MATLAB vector is any list of ordered scalars

T = [ 75 77 76 ….. 69]

- 24 temperatures throughout the day, measured every hour

To create a row vector, separate the elements by commas. For example,

>>p = [3,7,9] % or just [ 3 7 9 ]p = 3 7 9

You can create a column vector by using the transpose notation (').

>>p = [3,7,9]'p = 3 7 9

2-3

You can also create a column vector by separating the elements by semicolons.

For example,

>>g = [3;7;9]g = 3 7 9

Another way is to just type in rows:g = [ 3 7 9 ]

2-42-4

2-52-5

You can create vectors by ''appending'' one vector to another.

For example, to create the row vector u whose first three columns contain the values of r = [2,4,20] and whose fourth, fifth, and sixth columns contain the values of w = [9,-6,3], you type

u = [r , w]

The result is the vector

u = [2,4,20,9,-6,3].

NO need for special merge operations etc…

The colon operator (:) easily generates a large vector of regularly spaced elements.

Typing

>>x = [m:q:n]

creates a vector x of values with a spacing q.

The first value is m.

The last value is n if m - n is an integer multiple of q.

If not, the last value is < n.

2-62-6

For example, typing x = [0:2:8] creates the vector: x = [0,2,4,6,8], whereas typing x = [0:2:7] creates the vector x = [0,2,4,6].Can also tryx = 10: -3: 1 producesx = [ 10 7 4 1]

To create row vector z consisting of the values from 5 to 8 in steps of 0.1, type z = 5:0.1:8

If the increment q is omitted, it is presumed to be 1. Thus typing y = [-3:2] produces the vector y = [-3,-2,-1,0,1,2].

In class:

Generate a vector from -1.5 to 3.7 with 0.2 spacing

2-7

The linspace command also creates a linearly spaced row vector, but instead you specify the number of values rather than the increment.

The syntax is linspace(x1,x2,n), where x1 and x2 are the lower and upper limits and n is the number of points.

For example, linspace(5,8,31) % note not 30, but 31is equivalent to [5:0.1:8].

If n is omitted, the spacing is 1.

In class: generate vector from -10 to 100 with 14 elements

2-82-8

The logspace command creates an array of logarithmically spaced elements.

Its syntax is logspace(a,b,n), where n is the number of points between 10a and 10b.

For example, x = logspace(-1,1,4) produces the vector x = [0.1000, 0.4642, 2.1544, 10.000].

If n is omitted, the number of points defaults to 50.

Magnitude, Length, and Absolute Value of a Vector The length command gives the number of elements in the vector.

The magnitude of a vector x having elements x1, x2, …, xn is a scalar,

given by x1

2 + x22 + … + xn

2),

and is the same as the vector's geometric length.

For 2 variables x and y in plane this is just Pythagorean Theorem

The absolute value of a vector x is a vector whose elements are the absolute values of the elements of x. [ |x1|, |x2|, |x3|, ….. |xn| ]

2-102-10

For example, if x = [2,-4,5],

its length is 3; (computed from length(x))

its magnitude is [22 + (–4)2 + 52] = 6.7082; (computed from sqrt(x’*x) or norm(x))

its absolute value is [2,4,5] (computed from abs(x)) - absolute values of elements

In class: y = [ -3 1 8 5], find length, magnitude and absolute value

Matrices

A matrix has multiple rows and columns.

For example, the matrix

has four rows and three columns.

Elements are accessed by M(row, col)

Vectors are special cases of matrices having one row or one column.

M = 2 4 10 16 3 7 8 4 9 3 12 15

2-12 More? See page 73.

Creating Matrices If the matrix is small you can type it row by row, separating the elements in a given row with spaces or commas and separating the rows with semicolons. For example, typing

>>A = [2,4,10;16,3,7];

creates the following matrix:

2 4 10 16 3 7

Remember:• spaces or commas separate elements in different columns• semicolons separate elements in different rows.

A =

Creating Matrices from Vectors

Suppose a = [1,3,5] and b = [7,9,11] (row vectors).

Note the difference between the results given by [a b] and [a;b] in the following session:

>>c = [a b];c = 1 3 5 7 9 11 % single row>>D = [a;b]D = 1 3 5 % forms a matrix 7 9 11

Array Addressing

Array indices are the row and column numbers in that order.v(3) – 3rd element of array v. A(3,4) 3rd row 4th column element in matrix A

The colon operator selects individual elements, rows, columns, or ''sub-arrays'' of arrays. Here are some examples: 

v(:) represents all the row or column elements of the vector v.

v(2:5) represents the second through fifth elements; that is v(2), v(3), v(4), v(5). v(2:end) -- 2nd to the end

A(:,3) denotes all the elements in the third column of matrix A.

A(:,2:5) denotes all the elements in the second through fifth columns of A.

A(2:3,1:3) denotes all the elements in the second and third rows that are also in the first through third columns. 

You can use array indices to extract a smaller array from another array. For example, if you first create the array B

B =

2-172-17

C =16 3 7 8 4 9

2 4 10 1316 3 7 18 8 4 9 25 3 12 15 17

then type C = B(2:3,1:3), you can produce the following array:

More? See pages 75-76.

B(2 , :)=[16 3 7 18]

B(: , 3) = [ 10 7 9 15 ]

M = [ ] creates empty (null) matrix

Rows and columns can be deleted by assigning [ ]

For example:

A(:,4) = [ ] – delete entire 4th column

A(3:5,:) = [ ] – delete 3rd , 4th , and 5th rows of A

A([3 5],:) = [ ] – delete 3rd and 5th rows of A

Additional Array Functions (Table 2.1–1)

max(A) Returns the algebraically largest element in A if A is a vector.

Returns a row vector containing the largest elements in each column if A is a matrix.

If any of the elements are complex, max(A) returns the elements that have the largest magnitudes.

If A = [ 2 0 3 0 0 0 8 0 3 0] – matrix

Additional Array Functions (Table 2.1–1)

[x,k] = max(A)

min(A)and

[x,k] = min(A)

Similar to max(A) but stores the maximum values in the row vector x and their indices in the row vector k.

Like max but returns minimum values.

2-20

The function size(A) returns a row vector [m n] containing the sizes of the m × n array A.

The length(A) function computes either the number of elements of A if A is a vector or the largest value of m or n if A is an m × n matrix.

For example, if

then size(A) returns [3, 2]; length(A) returns 3,

max(A) returns the vector [6,2] – largest elements in each column;

min(A) returns the vector [-10, -5] - smallest elements in each column

Array subtraction is performed in a similar way.

The addition shown in equation 2.3–1 is performed in MATLAB as follows:

>>A = [6,-2;10,3];>>B = [9,8;-12,14]>>A+Bans = 15 6 -2 17

element by element scalar multiplication

Multiplying a matrix A by a scalar w produces a matrix whose elements are the elements of A multiplied by w – again element by element. For example:

32 95 –7

= 6 2715 –21

This multiplication is performed in MATLAB as follows:

>>A = [2, 9; 5,-7];>>3*Aans = 6 27 15 -21

2-292-29

Multiplication of an array by a scalar is easily defined and easily carried out.

However, multiplication of two arrays is not so straightforward.

MATLAB uses two very different definitions of multiplication:

(1) array multiplication (element-by-element multiplication)

(2) matrix multiplication.

2-302-30

Division and exponentiation must also be carefully defined when you are dealing with operations between two arrays.

MATLAB has two forms of arithmetic operations on arrays.

Next we introduce one form, called array operations, which are also called element-by-element operations.

Then we will introduce matrix operations.

Each form has its own applications.

2-322-32

Array or Element-by-element multiplication is defined only for arrays having the same size.

The definition of the product x.*y, where x and y each have n elements, is

x.*y = [x(1)y(1), x(2)y(2), ... , x(n)y(n)]

if x and y are row vectors. For example, if

x = [2, 4, – 5], y = [– 7, 3, – 8] (2.3–4)

then z = x.*y gives z = [2(– 7), 4 (3), –5(–8)] = [–14, 12, 40]

2-332-33

If x and y are column vectors, the result of x.*y is a column vector. For example z = (x’).*(y’) gives

Note that x’ is a column vector with size 3 × 1 and thus does not have the same size as y, whose size is 1 × 3.

Thus for the vectors x and y the operations x’.*y and y.*x’ are not defined in MATLAB and will generate an error message.

2-342-34

The array operations are performed between the elements in corresponding locations in the arrays.

For example, the array multiplication operation A.*B results in a matrix C that has the same size as A and B and has the elements ci j = ai j bi j .

For example, if

then C = A.*B gives this result:

A = 11 5 –9 4

B = –7 8 6 2

C = 11(–7) 5(8) –9(6) 4(2)

= –77 40–54 8

2-352-35 More? See pages 87-88.

NOT Matrix Multiplication

The built-in MATLAB functions such as sqrt(x) and exp(x) automatically operate on array arguments to produce an array result the same size as the array argument x - again element by element.

Thus these functions are said to be vectorized functions.

For example, in the following session the result y has the same size as the argument x.

>>x = [4, 16, 25];>>y = sqrt(x) % element by elementy = 2 4 5

2-362-36

However, when multiplying or dividing these functions, or when raising them to a power, you must use element-by-element operations if the arguments are arrays.

For example, to compute z = (ey sin x) cos2x, you must type

z = exp(y).*sin(x).*(cos(x)).^2.

You will get an error message if the size of x is not the same as the size of y.

The result z will have the same size as x and y.

2-37 More? See pages 89-90.

Array Division

The definition of array division is similar to the definition of array multiplication except that the elements of one array are divided by the elements of the other array (again element by element).

Both arrays must have the same size.

The symbol for array right division is ./

For example, if

x = [8, 12, 15] y = [–2, 6, 5]

then z = x./y gives

z = [8/(–2), 12/6, 15/5] = [–4, 2, 3]

2-382-38

A = 24 20– 9 4

B = –4 5 3 2

Also, if

then C = A./B gives

C = 24/(–4) 20/5 –9/3 4/2

= –6 4–3 2

2-39 More? See pages 91-92.

Array Exponentiation

MATLAB enables us not only to raise arrays to powers but also to raise scalars and arrays to array powers.

To perform exponentiation on an element-by-element basis, we must use the .^ symbol.

For example,

if x = [3, 5, 8],

then typing x.^3 produces the array

[33, 53, 83] = [27, 125, 512].

2-402-40

We can raise a scalar to an array power.

For example, if p = [2, 4, 5], then typing 3.^p produces the array [32, 34, 35] = [9, 81, 243].

Remember that .^ is a single symbol.

The dot in 3.^p is not a decimal point associated with the number 3.

The following operations, with the value of p given here, are equivalent and give the correct answer:

3.^p3.0.^p3..^p % correct, but confusing => avoid it(3).^p3.^[2,4,5]

Matrix-Matrix Multiplication

In the product of two matrices A*B, the number of columns in A must equal the number of rows in B.[C - m by p matrix] = [A - m by n matrix] times [B -n by p matrix]

The row-column multiplications form column vectors, and these column vectors form the matrix result.

The product AB has the same number of rows as A and the same number of columns as B.

Special Matrices ( type help specmat )

Two exceptions to the non-commutative property are the null or zero matrix, denoted by 0 and the identity, or unity, matrix, denoted by I.

The null matrix contains all zeros and is not the same as the empty matrix [ ], which has no elements.

These matrices have the following properties:

0A = A0 = 0 – just get all zeros

IA = AI = A

2-452-45

The identity matrix is a square matrix whose diagonal elements are all equal to one, with the remaining elements equal to zero.

For example, the 2 × 2 identity matrix is

I = 1 00 1

The functions eye(n) and eye(size(A)) create an n × n identity matrix and an identity matrix the same size as the matrix A.

2-46 More? See page 105.

Sometimes we want to initialize a matrix to have all zero elements. The zeros command creates a matrix of all zeros.

Typing zeros(n) creates an n × n matrix of zeros, whereas typing zeros(m,n) creates an m × n matrix of zeros.

Typing zeros(size(A)) creates a matrix of all zeros having the same dimension as the matrix A. This type of matrix can be useful for applications in which we do not know the required dimension ahead of time, but need to initialize the matrix to all zeros.

The syntax of the ones command is the same, except that it creates arrays filled with ones.In class: T2.4-1&2, p100

The functionThe function roots(a)computes the roots of a polynomial specified by the coefficient array a.

The result is a column vector that contains the polynomial’s roots.

For example,

>>r = roots([2, 14, 20]) % 2x^2+14x+20=0r = -2 -5

Polynomial CoefficientsPolynomial Coefficients

The functionThe function poly(r)computes the coefficients of the polynomial whose roots are specified by the vector r. The result is a row vector that contains the polynomial’s coefficients arranged in descending order of power.

For example,

>>c = poly([-2, -5])c = 1 7 10 % corresponds to x^2 + 7x + 10

Plotting Polynomials

The function polyval(a,x)evaluates a polynomial at specified values of its independent variable x, which can be a matrix or a vector.

The polynomial’s coefficients of descending powers are stored in the array a.

The result is the same size as x.

Example of Plotting a Polynomial

To plot the polynomial f (x) = 9x3 – 5x2 + 3x + 7 for –2 ≤ x ≤ 5, you type

>>a = [9,-5,3,7]; % - polynomial coefficients>>x = [-2:0.01:5]; % - densely spaced x values>>f = polyval(a,x);>>plot(x,f),xlabel(’x’),ylabel(’f(x)’)

Simple vibration model of a building subjected to ground motion - skip.

Figure 2.5–1

Buildings designed to withstand earthquakes must have natural frequencies of vibration that are NOT close to the natural frequency of the ground motions to prevent deadly resonances.

Building’s natural frequencies are determined bymasses of floors and by lateral stiffness of the supporting columns.They are roots of the characteristic polynomial.

>> k = 7e6; m = 1000;>> alpha = k/(4*pi^2*m);>> p1 = [ -1 0 alpha];>> p2 = [ -1 0 2*alpha];>> p3 = [ alpha^2 0 -2*alpha^3];>> p4 = conv(p2,p2)-[ 0 0 0 0 alpha^2];>> p5 = conv(p1,p4);>> p6 = p5 + [ 0 0 0 0 p3];>> p6

Structures - optionalStructures allow to store arrays of different type and size together.

The elements are accessed using named fields with dot operator:

student.name =‘John Smith’; student.SSN = ‘392-77-1786’; student.tests = [67 75 84]

Arrays of Structures – just add index to student:

student(2).name = ‘Mary Jones’; student(2).SSN = ‘431-56-9832’; …

To reassign test 2 of Mary Jones: student(2).tests(2) = 85
