xM(t) = −11.9084 + 57.9117 cos(2πt/87.97), yM(t) = 56.6741 sin(2πt/87.97) and xE(t) = −2.4987 + 149.6041 cos(2πt/365.25), yE(t) = 149.5832 sin(2πt/365.25) represent the positions of Mercury and Earth on an xy-plane, where the sun is at (0,0) and t is the passage of time. I'd like to find the minimum distance between the planets over the next 1000 days by finding the minimum of the function f(t) = ((xE(t) − xM(t))^2 + (yE(t) − yM(t))^2)^(1/2) with a matlab program that implements the secant method.
function [r,N] = SECANT(x0,x1,eps,Nmax,f)
N = 1;
while (N <= Nmax) && (abs(x1-x0) >= eps)
r = x1 - f(x1)*((x1-x0)/(f(x1)-f(x0)));
x0 = x1;
x1 = r;
N = N+1;
end
r
N
The above is what I have for the secant method. I think it should work, but it's possible I made a mistake with it. And this is what I have in matlab to actually solve the problem.
p = #(t) (((-2.4987 + 149.6041*cos(2*pi*t/365.25))-(-11.9084 + 57.9117*cos(2*pi*t/87.97))).^2+((149.5832*sin(2*pi*t/365.25))-(56.6741*sin(2*pi*t/87.97))).^2).^(1/2);
y = SECANT(x0,x1,eps,Nmax,p)
I know that only p is the appropriate thing to pass to the function. I could make up eps (level of precision), and Nmax (maximum number of iterations), but I can't figure out what the parameters x0 and x1 should be.

I am trying to use the fixed point iteration method with initial approximation x(1)=0 to obtain an approximation to the root of the equation f(x)=3x+sin(x)e^x=0.
The stopping criterion is
|x(k+1)-x(k)|<0.0001
x(1) = 0;
n = 100;
for k = 1:n
f(k) = 3*x(k) +sin(x(k))-exp(x(k));
if (abs(f(k))<0.0001)
break;
end
syms x
diff(f(k));
x(k+1) = x(1)- (f(k))/(diff(f(k)));
end
[x' f']
This is the error I am getting: Error using / Matrix dimensions must
agree. Error in prac2Q2 (line 15)
x(k+1) = x(1)- (f(k))/(diff(f(k)));
I would suggest to calculate the derivative by hand and use that term as denominator or to save the derivative in another variable and use this as the denominator.
Derivative as Variable
f(k) = ...;
df(k) = diff(f(k));
x(k+1) = x(k) - f(k) / df(k);
PS: I cannot test this, because I do not have access to the Symbolic Toolbox right now.
If you're looking for the root of 3*x +sin(x)-exp(x) you want to resolve this equation:
3*x + sin(x) - exp(x) = 0
The easiest way will be to isolate x in one side of the equation:
x = (exp(x) - sin(x))/3 % now iterate until x = (exp(x) - sin(x))/3
Now I would recommand to use an easier fixed point method: x(k+1) = (x(k)+f(x(k)))/2
x = 1 % x0
while 1
y = (exp(x)-sin(x))/3; % we are looking for the root not for a fixed point !!! y = f(x)
x = (x+y)/2 % after a few iterations x == y, so x = (x+y)/2 or x = 2x/2
if abs(x-y) < 1e-10
break
end
end
And you obtain the correct result:
x = 0.36042
No need of symbolic math.
I want to write a program that makes use of Newtons Method:
To estimate the x of this integral:
Where X is the total distance.
I have functions to calculate the Time it takes to arrive at a certain distance by using the trapezoid method for numerical integration. Without using trapz.
function T = time_to_destination(x, route, n)
h=(x-0)/n;
dx = 0:h:x;
y = (1./(velocity(dx,route)));
Xk = dx(2:end)-dx(1:end-1);
Yk = y(2:end)+y(1:end-1);
T = 0.5*sum(Xk.*Yk);
end
and it fetches its values for velocity, through ppval of a cubic spline interpolation between a set of data points. Where extrapolated values should not be fetcheable.
function [v] = velocity(x, route)
load(route);
if all(x >= distance_km(1))==1 & all(x <= distance_km(end))==1
estimation = spline(distance_km, speed_kmph);
v = ppval(estimation, x);
else
error('Bad input, please choose a new value')
end
end
Plot of the velocity spline if that's interesting to you evaluated at:
dx= 1:0.1:65
Now I want to write a function that can solve for distance travelled after a certain given time, using newton's method without fzero / fsolve . But I have no idea how to solve for the upper bound of a integral.
According to the fundamental theorem of calculus I suppose the derivative of the integral is the function inside the integral, which is what I've tried to recreate as Time_to_destination / (1/velocity)
I added the constant I want to solve for to time to destination so its
(Time_to_destination - (input time)) / (1/velocity)
Not sure if I'm doing that right.
EDIT: Rewrote my code, works better now but my stopcondition for Newton Raphson doesnt seem to converge to zero. I also tried to implement the error from the trapezoid integration ( ET ) but not sure if I should bother implementing that yet. Also find the route file in the bottom.
Stop condition and error calculation of Newton's Method:
Error estimation of trapezoid:
Function x = distance(T, route)
n=180
route='test.mat'
dGuess1 = 50;
dDistance = T;
i = 1;
condition = inf;
while condition >= 1e-4 && 300 >= i
i = i + 1 ;
dGuess2 = dGuess1 - (((time_to_destination(dGuess1, route,n))-dDistance)/(1/(velocity(dGuess1, route))))
if i >= 2
ET =(time_to_destination(dGuess1, route, n/2) - time_to_destination(dGuess1, route, n))/3;
condition = abs(dGuess2 - dGuess1)+ abs(ET);
end
dGuess1 = dGuess2;
end
x = dGuess2

Observe that the Newton-Raphson method determines the roots of the function. I.e. you need to have a function f(x) such that f(x)=0 at the desired solution.
In this case you can define f as
f(x) = Time(x) - t
where t is the desired time. Then by the second fundamental theorem of calculus
f'(x) = 1/Velocity(x)
With these functions defined the implementation becomes quite straightforward!
First, we define a simple Newton-Raphson function which takes anonymous functions as arguments (f and f') as well as an initial guess x0.
function x = newton_method(f, df, x0)
MAX_ITER = 100;
EPSILON = 1e-5;
x = x0;
fx = f(x);
iter = 0;
while abs(fx) > EPSILON && iter <= MAX_ITER
x = x - fx / df(x);
fx = f(x);
iter = iter + 1;
end
end
Then we can invoke our function as follows
t_given = 0.3; % e.g. we want to determine distance after 0.3 hours.
n = 180;
route = 'test.mat';
f = #(x) time_to_destination(x, route, n) - t_given;
df = #(x) 1/velocity(x, route);
distance_guess = 50;
distance = newton_method(f, df, distance_guess);
Result
>> distance
distance = 25.5877
Also, I rewrote your time_to_destination and velocity functions as follows. This version of time_to_destination uses all the available data to make a more accurate estimate of the integral. Using these functions the method seems to converge faster.
function t = time_to_destination(x, d, v)
% x is scalar value of destination distance
% d and v are arrays containing measured distance and velocity
% Assumes d is strictly increasing and d(1) <= x <= d(end)
idx = d < x;
if ~any(idx)
t = 0;
return;
end
v1 = interp1(d, v, x);
t = trapz([d(idx); x], 1./[v(idx); v1]);
end
function v = velocity(x, d, v)
v = interp1(d, v, x);
end
Using these new functions requires that the definitions of the anonymous functions are changed slightly.
t_given = 0.3; % e.g. we want to determine distance after 0.3 hours.
load('test.mat');
f = #(x) time_to_destination(x, distance_km, speed_kmph) - t_given;
df = #(x) 1/velocity(x, distance_km, speed_kmph);
distance_guess = 50;
distance = newton_method(f, df, distance_guess);
Because the integral is estimated more accurately the solution is slightly different
>> distance
distance = 25.7771
Edit
The updated stopping condition can be implemented as a slight modification to the newton_method function. We shouldn't expect the trapezoid rule error to go to zero so I omit that.
function x = newton_method(f, df, x0)
MAX_ITER = 100;
TOL = 1e-5;
x = x0;
iter = 0;
dx = inf;
while dx > TOL && iter <= MAX_ITER
x_prev = x;
x = x - f(x) / df(x);
dx = abs(x - x_prev);
iter = iter + 1;
end
end
To check our answer we can plot the time vs. distance and make sure our estimate falls on the curve.
...
distance = newton_method(f, df, distance_guess);
load('test.mat');
t = zeros(size(distance_km));
for idx = 1:numel(distance_km)
t(idx) = time_to_destination(distance_km(idx), distance_km, speed_kmph);
end
plot(t, distance_km); hold on;
plot([t(1) t(end)], [distance distance], 'r');
plot([t_given t_given], [distance_km(1) distance_km(end)], 'r');
xlabel('time');
ylabel('distance');
axis tight;
One of the main issues with my code was that n was too low, the error of the trapezoidal sum, estimation of my integral, was too high for the newton raphson method to converge to a very small number.
Here was my final code for this problem:
function x = distance(T, route)
load(route)
n=10e6;
x = mean(distance_km);
i = 1;
maxiter=100;
tol= 5e-4;
condition=inf
fx = #(x) time_to_destination(x, route,n);
dfx = #(x) 1./velocity(x, route);
while condition > tol && i <= maxiter
i = i + 1 ;
Guess2 = x - ((fx(x) - T)/(dfx(x)))
condition = abs(Guess2 - x)
x = Guess2;
end
end
Assume we have three equations:
eq1 = x1 + (x1 - x2) * t - X == 0;
eq2 = z1 + (z1 - z2) * t - Z == 0;
eq3 = ((X-x1)/a)^2 + ((Z-z1)/b)^2 - 1 == 0;
while six of known variables are:
a = 42 ;
b = 12 ;
x1 = 316190;
z1 = 234070;
x2 = 316190;
z2 = 234070;
So we are looking for three unknown variables that are:
X , Z and t
I wrote two method to solve it. But, since I need to run these code for 5.7 million data, it become really slow.
Method one (using "solve"):
tic
S = solve( eq1 , eq2 , eq3 , X , Z , t ,...
'ReturnConditions', true, 'Real', true);
toc
X = double(S.X(1))
Z = double(S.Z(1))
t = double(S.t(1))
results of method one:
X = 316190;
Z = 234060;
t = -2.9280;
Elapsed time is 0.770429 seconds.
Method two (using "fsolve"):
coeffs = [a,b,x1,x2,z1,z2]; % Known parameters
x0 = [ x2 ; z2 ; 1 ].'; % Initial values for iterations
f_d = #(x0) myfunc(x0,coeffs); % f_d considers x0 as variables
options = optimoptions('fsolve','Display','none');
tic
M = fsolve(f_d,x0,options);
toc
results of method two:
X = 316190; % X = M(1)
Z = 234060; % Z = M(2)
t = -2.9280; % t = M(3)
Elapsed time is 0.014 seconds.
Although, the second method is faster, but it still needs to be improved. Please let me know if you have a better solution for that. Thanks
* extra information:
if you are interested to know what those 3 equations are, the first two are equations of a line in 2D and the third equation is an ellipse equation. I need to find the intersection of the line with the ellipse. Obviously, we have two points as result. But, let's forget about the second answer for simplicity.
My suggestion it's to use the second approce,which it's the recommended by matlab for nonlinear equation system.
Declare a M-function
function Y=mysistem(X)
%X(1) = X
%X(2) = t
%X(3) = Z
a = 42 ;
b = 12 ;
x1 = 316190;
z1 = 234070;
x2 = 316190;
z2 = 234070;
Y(1,1) = x1 + (x1 - x2) * X(2) - X(1);
Y(2,1) = z1 + (z1 - z2) * X(2) - X(3);
Y(3,1) = ((X-x1)/a)^2 + ((Z-z1)/b)^2 - 1;
end
Then for solving use
x0 = [ x2 , z2 , 1 ];
M = fsolve(#mysistem,x0,options);
If you may want to reduce the default precision by changing StepTolerance (default 1e-6).
Also for more increare you may want to use the jacobian matrix for greater efficencies.
For more reference take a look in official documentation:
fsolve Nonlinear Equations with Analytic Jacobian
Basically giving the solver the Jacobian matrix of the system(and special options) you can increase method efficency.
I was given a piece of Matlab code by a lecturer recently for a way to solve simultaneous equations using the Newton-Raphson method with a jacobian matrix (I've also left in his comments). However, although he's provided me with the basic code I cannot seem to get it working no matter how hard I try. I've spent many hours trying to introduce the 'func' function but to no avail, frequently getting the message that there aren't enough inputs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially with how to write the 'func' function.
function root = newtonRaphson2(func,x,tol)
% Newton-Raphson method of finding a root of simultaneous
% equations fi(x1,x2,...,xn) = 0, i = 1,2,...,n.

% x = starting solution vector [x1,x2,...,xn].
% tol = error tolerance (default is 1.0e4*eps).
% OUTPUT:
% root = solution vector.
if size(x,1) == 1; x = x'; end % x must be column vector
for i = 1:30
[jac,f0] = jacobian(func,x);
if sqrt(dot(f0,f0)/length(x)) < tol
root = x; return
end
dx = jac\(-f0);
x = x + dx;
if sqrt(dot(dx,dx)/length(x)) < tol
root = x; return
end
end
error('Too many iterations')
function [jac,f0] = jacobian(func,x)
% Returns the Jacobian matrix and f(x).
h = 1.0e-4;
n = length(x);
jac = zeros(n);
f0 = feval(func,x);
for i =1:n
temp = x(i);
x(i) = temp + h;
f1 = feval(func,x);
x(i) = temp;
jac(:,i) = (f1 - f0)/h;
end
The simultaneous equations to be solved are:
sin(x)+y^2+ln(z)-7=0
3x+2^y-z^3+1=0
x+y+Z-=0
with the starting point (1,1,1).
However, these are arbitrary and can be replaced with anything, I mainly just need to know the general format.
Many thanks, I know this may be a very simple task but I've only recently started teaching myself Matlab.
You need to create a new file called myfunc.m (or whatever name you like) which takes a single input parameter - a column vector x - and returns a single output vector - a column vector y such that y = f(x).
For example,
function y = myfunc(x)
y = zeros(3, 1);
y(1) = sin(x(1)) + x(2)^2 + log(x(3)) - 7;
y(2) = 3*x(1) + 2^x(2) - x(3)^3 + 1;
y(3) = x(1) + x(2) + x(3);
end
You can then refer to this function as #myfunc as in
>> newtonRaphson2(#myfunc, [1;1;1], 1e-6);
The reason for the special notation is that Matlab allows you to call a function with no parameters by omitting the parens () that follow it. So for example, Matlab interprets myfunc as you calling the function with no arguments (so it tries to replace it with its result) whereas #myfunc refers to the function itself, rather than its result.
Alternatively you can write a function directly using the # notation, as in
>> newtonRaphson2(#(x) exp(x) - 3*x, 2, 1e-2)
ans =
1.5315
>> newtonRaphson2(#(x) exp(x) - 3*x, 1, 1e-2)
ans =
0.6190
which are the two roots of the equation exp(x) - 3 * x = 0.
Edit - as an aside, your professor has terrible coding style (if the code in your question is a direct copy-paste of what he gave you, and you haven't mangled it along the way). It would be better to write the code like this, with indentation making it clear what the structure of the code is.

I am trying to solve a differential equation with the ode solver ode45 with MATLAB. I have tried using it with other simpler functions and let it plot the function. They all look correct, but when I plug in the function that I need to solve, it fails. The plot starts off at y(0) = 1 but starts decreasing at some point when it should have been an increasing function all the way up to its critical point.
function [xpts,soln] = diffsolver(p1x,p2x,p3x,p1rr,y0)
syms x y
yp = matlabFunction((p3x/p1x) - (p2x/p1x) * y);
[xpts,soln] = ode45(yp,[0 p1rr],y0);
p1x, p2x, and p3x are polynomials and they are passed into this diffsolver function as parameters.
p1rr here is the critical point. The function should diverge after the critical point, so i want to integrate it up to that point.
EDIT: Here is the code that I have before using diffsolver, the above function. I do pade approximation to find the polynomials p1, p2, and p3. Then i find the critical point, which is the root of p1 that is closest to the target (target is specified by user).
I check if the critical point is empty (sometimes there might not be a critical point in some functions). If its not empty, then it uses the above function to solve the differential equation. Then it plots the x- and y- points returned from the above function basically.
function error = padeapprox(m,n,j)
global f df p1 p2 p3 N target
error = 0;
size = m + n + j + 2;
A = zeros(size,size);
for i = 1:m
A((i + 1):size,i) = df(1:(size - i));
end
for i = (m + 1):(m + n + 1)
A((i - m):size,i) = f(1:(size + 1 - i + m));
end
for i = (m + n + 2):size
A(i - (m + n + 1),i) = -1;
end
if det(A) == 0
error = 1;
fprintf('Warning: Matrix is singular.\n');
end
V = -A\df(1:size);
p1 = [1];
for i = 1:m
p1 = [p1; V(i)];
end
p2 = [];
for i = (m + 1):(m + n + 1)
p2 = [p2; V(i)];
end

I saw some examples using another function to generate the differential equation but i've tried using the matlabFunction() method with other simpler functions and it seems like it works. Its just that when I try to solve this function, it fails. The solved values start becoming negative when they should all be positive.
I also tried using another solver, dsolve(). But it gives me an implicit solution all the time...
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
Since your code seems to work for simpler functions, you could try to increase the accuracy options of the ode45 solver.
This can be achieved by using odeset:
options = odeset('RelTol',1e-10,'AbsTol',1e-10);
[T,Y] = ode45(#function,[tspan],[y0],options);
