Simulation of a Bouncing Ball
Figure 1: A ball is thrown up with a velocity of 15 m/s from a height of 10 m. A bouncing ball model is a classic example of a hybrid dynamic system. A...

Logical Subscripting
Matlab Logical Subscripting Tutorial The logical vectors created from logical and relational operations can be used to reference subarrays. Suppose X is an ordinary matrix and L is a matrix of the same size...
Matlab Using FFT
This demonstration uses the FFT function to analyze the variations in sunspot activity over the last 300 years. Sunspot activity is cyclical, reaching a maximum about every 11 years. Let’s confirm that. Here is...
Implementing a Set/Get Interface for Properties
The Standard Set/Get Interface The MATLAB Handle Graphics system implements an interface based on set and get methods. These methods enable you to set or query the value of graphics object properties. The hgsetget...
Analysis of Functions, Interpolation, Curve Fitting, Integrals and Differential Equations 2
Localize minima and maxima of functions Let us try to find the local minima and maxima for the function func(x). The interval of interest is [-6 0]. The algorithms are iterative. There are 2...
Analysis of Functions, Interpolation, Curve Fitting, Integrals and Differential Equations
In this tutorial we will deal with analysis of functions, interpolation, curve fitting, integrals and differential equations. Firstly, we will need to use polynomials and therefore we have to be familiar with the representation...
Matlab Expressions
Matlab Expressions Variables Like most other programming languages, the MATLAB language provides mathematical expressions, but unlike most programming languages, these expressions involve entire matrices. MATLAB does not require any type declarations or dimension statements....
