Solution of transcendental equation in with Matlab - matlab

Question

I have an equation which goes like this:
Here, I_L(lambdap) is the modified bessel function. This and product with exponential function can be written in matlab as besseli(L,lambdap,1). "i" stands for square root of -1. I want to solve:
1+pt+it=0
where I have to vary 'k' and find values of 'w'. I had posted similar problem at mathematica stack exchange, but I couldn't solve the problem fully, though i have got a clue (please go through the comments at mathematica stack exchange site). I could not convert my equation to the code that has been posted in clue. Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

I never attempted this before, but... is this returning a suitable result?
syms w k;
fun = 1 + pt(w,k) + it(w,k);
sol = vpasolve(fun == 0,w,k);
disp(sol.w);
disp(sol.k);
function res = pt(w,k)
eps_l0 = w / (1.22 * k);
lam_k = 0.25 * k^2;
res = sym('res',[5 1]);
res_off = 1;
for L = -2:2
gam = besseli(L,lam_k) * exp(-lam_k);
eps_z = (w - L) / (1.22 * k);
zeta = 1i * sqrt(pi()) * exp(-eps_z^2) * (1 + erfc(1i * eps_z));
res(res_off,:) = ((25000 * gam) / k^2) * (1 + (eps_l0 * zeta));
res_off = res_off + 1;
end
res = sum(res);
end
function res = it(w,k)
eps_l0 = (w - (0.86 * k)) / (3.46 * k);
lam_k = 0.03 * k^2;
res = sym('res',[5 1]);
res_off = 1;
for L = -2:2
gam = besseli(L,lam_k) * exp(-lam_k);
eps_z = (w - (8 * L) - (0.86 * k)) / (3.46 * k);
zeta = 1i * sqrt(pi()) * exp(-eps_z^2) * (1 + erfc(1i * eps_z));
res(res_off,:) = ((2000000 * gam) / k^2) * (1 + (eps_l0 * zeta));
res_off = res_off + 1;
end
res = sum(res);
end
EDIT
For numeric k and symbolic w:
syms w;
for k = -3:3
fun = 1 + pt(w,k) + it(w,k);
sol = vpasolve(fun == 0,w);
disp(sol.w);
end
