Matlab: Extract values that I plot but which has not been stored - matlab

I have a mathematical function E which I want to minimize. I get from solving this 16 possible solutions x1, x2, ..., x16, only two of which that actually minimize the function (located at a minimum). Using a for loop, I can then plug all of these 16 solutions into the original function, and select the solutions I need by applying some criteria via if statements (plotting E vs E(x) if x is real and positive, if first derivative of E is below a threshold, and if the second derivative of E is positive).
That way I only plot the solutions I'm interested in. However, I would now like to extract the relevant x that I plot. Here's a sample MATLAB code that plots the way I just described. I want to extract the thetas that I actually end up plotting. How to do that?

theta_s = 0.77944100;
sigma = 0.50659500;
Delta = 0.52687700;
%% Defining the coefficients of the 4th degree polynomial
alpha = cos(2*theta_s);
beta = sin(2*theta_s);
gamma = 2*Delta^2/sigma^2;
a = -gamma^2 - beta^2*Delta^2 - alpha^2*Delta^2 + 2*alpha*Delta*gamma;

plot(x,y_1,'black');
plot(x,y_2,'black');
grid on;
%% Plot theta if real, if positive, if 1st derivative is ~zero, and if 2nd derivative is positive
for j=1:numel(theta);
A = isreal(theta(j));
x_j = theta(j);
y_j = sigma*cos(x_j - theta_s) + sqrt(1 + Delta*cos(2*x_j));
FirstDer = sigma* sin(theta(j) - theta_s) + Delta*sin(2*theta(j))/...
sqrt(1 + Delta*cos(2*theta(j)));
SecDer = -sigma*cos(theta(j)-theta_s) - 2*Delta*cos(2*theta(j))/...
(1 + Delta*cos(2*theta(j)))^(1/2) - Delta^2 * (sin(2*theta(j)))^2/...
(1 + Delta*cos(2*theta(j)))^(3/2);
if A == 1 && x_j>=0 && FirstDer < 1E-7 && SecDer > 0
plot(x_j,y_j,['o','blue'])
end
end

After you finish all plotting, get the axes handle:
ax = gca;
then write:
X = get(ax.Children,{'XData'});
And X will be cell array of all the x-axis values from all lines in the graph. One cell for each line.
For the code above:
X =
[1.961054062875753]
[4.514533853417446]
[1x6284 double]
[1x6284 double]

(First, the code all worked. Thanks for the effort there.)
There are options here. A are couple below
Record the values as you generate them
Within the "success" if statement, simply record the values. See edits to your code below.
This would always be the preferred option for me, it just seems much more efficient.
xyResults = zeros(0,2); %%% INITIALIZE HERE
for j=1:numel(theta);
A = isreal(theta(j));
x_j = theta(j);
y_j = sigma*cos(x_j - theta_s) + sqrt(1 + Delta*cos(2*x_j));
FirstDer = sigma* sin(theta(j) - theta_s) + Delta*sin(2*theta(j))/...
sqrt(1 + Delta*cos(2*theta(j)));
SecDer = -sigma*cos(theta(j)-theta_s) - 2*Delta*cos(2*theta(j))/...
(1 + Delta*cos(2*theta(j)))^(1/2) - Delta^2 * (sin(2*theta(j)))^2/...
(1 + Delta*cos(2*theta(j)))^(3/2);
if A == 1 && x_j>=0 && FirstDer < 1E-7 && SecDer > 0
xyResults(end+1,:) = [x_j y_j]; %%%% RECORD HERE
plot(x_j,y_j,['o','blue'])
end
end
Get the result from the graphics objects
You can get the data you want from the actual graphics objects. This would be the option if there was just no way to capture the data as it was generated.
%First find the objects witht the data you want
% (Ideally you could record handles to the lines as you generated
% them above. But then you could also simply record the answer, so
% let's assume that direct record is not possible.)
% (BTW, 'findobj' is an underused, powerful function.)
h = findobj(0,'Marker','o','Color','b','type','line')
%Then get the `xdata` filed from each
capturedXdata = get(h,'XData');
capturedXdata =
2×1 cell array
[1.96105406287575]
[4.51453385341745]
%Then get the `ydata` filed from each
capturedYdata = get(h,'YData');
capturedYdata =
2×1 cell array
[1.96105406287575]

Construct ternary grid, evaluate a function on the grid and contour plot in Matlab

I need to evaluate a function (say)
Fxy = 2*x.^2 +3 *y.^2;
on a ternary grid x-range (0 - 1), y-range (0-1) and 1-x-y (0 - 1).
I am unable to construct the ternary grid on which I need to evaluate the above function. Also, once evaluated I need to plot the function in a ternary contour plot. Ideally, I need the axes to go counter clockwise in the sense (x -> y--> (1-x-y)).
I have tried the function
function tg = triangle_grid ( n, t )
ng = ( ( n + 1 ) * ( n + 2 ) ) / 2;
tg = zeros ( 2, ng );
p = 0;
for i = 0 : n
for j = 0 : n - i
k = n - i - j;
p = p + 1;
tg(1:2,p) = ( i * t(1:2,1) + j * t(1:2,2) + k * t(1:2,3) ) / n;
end
end
return
end
for the number of sub intervals between the triangle edge coordinates
n = 10 (say)
and for the edge coordinates of an equilateral triangle
t = tcoord = [0.0, 0.5, 1.0;
0.0, 1.0*sqrt(3)/2, 0.0];
This generated a triangular grid with the x-axis from 0-1 but the other two are not from 0-1.
I need something like this:
... with the axes range 0-1 (0-100 would also do).
In addition, I need to know the coordinate points for all intersections within the triangular grid. Once I have this I can proceed to evaluate the function in this grid.
My final aim is to get something like this. This is a better representation of what I need to achieve (as compared to the previous plot which I have now removed)
Note that the two ternary plots have iso-value contours which are different in in magnitude. In my case the difference is an order of magnitude, two very different Fxy's.
If I can plot the two ternary plots on top of each other then and evaluate the compositions at the intersection of two iso-value contours on the ternary plane. The compositions should be as read from the ternary plot and not the rectangular grid on which triangle is defined.
Currently there are issues (as highlighted in the comments section, will update this once the problem is closer to solution).
I am the author of ternplot. As you have correctly surmised, ternpcolor does not do what you want, as it is built to grid data automatically. In retrospect, this was not a particularly wise decision, I've made a note to change the design. In the mean time this code should do what you want:
EDIT: I've changed the code to find the intersection of two curves rather than just one.
N = 10;
x = linspace(0, 1, N);
y = x;
% The grid intersections on your diagram are actually rectangularly arranged,
% so meshgrid will build the intersections for us
[xx, yy] = meshgrid(x, y);
zz = 1 - (xx + yy);
% now that we've got the intersections, we can evaluate the function
f1 = #(x, y) 2*x.^2 + 3*y.^2 + 0.1;
Fxy1 = f1(xx, yy);
Fxy1(xx + yy > 1) = nan;
f2 = #(x, y) 3*x.^2 + 2*y.^2;
Fxy2 = f2(xx, yy);
Fxy2(xx + yy > 1) = nan;
f3 = #(x, y) (3*x.^2 + 2*y.^2) * 1000; % different order of magnitude
Fxy3 = f3(xx, yy);
Fxy3(xx + yy > 1) = nan;
subplot(1, 2, 1)
% This constructs the ternary axes
ternaxes(5);
% These are the coordinates of the compositions mapped to plot coordinates
[xg, yg] = terncoords(xx, yy);
% simpletri constructs the correct triangles
tri = simpletri(N);
hold on
% and now we can plot
trisurf(tri, xg, yg, Fxy1);
trisurf(tri, xg, yg, Fxy2);
hold off
view([137.5, 30]);
subplot(1, 2, 2);
ternaxes(5)
% Here we plot the line of intersection of the two functions
contour(xg, yg, Fxy1 - Fxy2, [0 0], 'r')
axis equal
EDIT 2: If you want to find the point of intersection between two contours, you are effectively solving two simultaneous equations. This bit of extra code will solve that for you (notice I've used some anonymous functions in the code above now, as well):
f1level = 1;
f3level = 1000;
intersection = fsolve(#(v) [f1(v(1), v(2)) - f1level; f3(v(1), v(2)) - f3level], [0.5, 0.4]);
% if you don't have the optimization toolbox, this command works almost as well
intersection = fminsearch(#(v) sum([f1(v(1), v(2)) - f1level; f3(v(1), v(2)) - f3level].^2), [0.5, 0.4]);
ternaxes(5)
hold on
contour(xg, yg, Fxy1, [f1level f1level]);
contour(xg, yg, Fxy3, [f3level f3level]);
ternplot(intersection(1), intersection(2), 1 - sum(intersection), 'r.');
hold off
I have played a bit with the file exchange submission https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/2299-alchemyst-ternplot.
if you just do this:
[x,y]=meshgrid(0:0.1:1);
Fxy = 2*x.^2 +3 *y.^2;
ternpcolor(x(:),y(:),Fxy(:))
You get:
The thirds axis is created exactly as you say (1-x-y) inside the ternpcolor function. There are lots of things to "tune" here but I hope it is enough to get you started.
Here is a solution using R and my package ggtern. I have also included the points within proximity underneath, for the purpose of comparison.
library(ggtern)
Fxy = function(x,y){ 2*x^2 + 3*y^2 }
x = y = seq(0,1,length.out = 100)
df = expand.grid(x=x,y=y);
df$z = 1 - df$x - df$y
df = subset(df,z >= 0)
df$value = Fxy(df$x,df$y)
#The Intended Breaks
breaks = pretty(df$value,n=10)
#Create subset of the data, within close proximity to the breaks
df.sub = ldply(breaks,function(b,proximity = 0.02){
s = b - abs(proximity)/2; f = b + abs(proximity)/2
subset(df,value >= s & value <= f)
})
#Plot the ternary diagram
ggtern(df,aes(x,y,z)) +
theme_bw() +
geom_point(data=df.sub,alpha=0.5,color='red',shape=21) +
geom_interpolate_tern(aes(value = value,color=..level..), size = 1, n = 200,
breaks = c(breaks,max(df$value) - 0.01,min(df$value) + 0.01),
base = 'identity',
formula = value ~ poly(x,y,degree=2)) +
labs(title = "Contour Plot on Modelled Surface", x = "Left",y="Top",z="Right")
Which produces the following:

Trying to solve Simultaneous equations in matlab, cannot work out how to format the functions

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.
% USAGE: root = newtonRaphson2(func,x,tol)
% INPUT:
% func = handle of function that returns[f1,f2,...,fn].
% 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.
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.
%
% USAGE: root = newtonRaphson2(func,x,tol)
%
% INPUT:
% func = handle of function that returns[f1,f2,...,fn].
% 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 must be column vector
x = x';
end
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')
end
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

Matlab/CUDA: ocean wave simulation

I've studied "Simulating Ocean Water" article by Jerry Tessendorf and tried to program the Statistical Wave Model but I didn't get correct result and I don't understand why.
In my program I tried only to create a wave height field at time t = 0 without any further changes in time. After execution of my program I got not what I was expecting:
Here's my source code:
clear all; close all; clc;
rng(11); % setting seed for random numbers
meshSize = 64; % field size
windDir = [1, 0]; % ||windDir|| = 1
patchSize = 64;
A = 1e+4;
g = 9.81; % gravitational constant
windSpeed = 1e+2;
x1 = linspace(-10, 10, meshSize+1); x = x1(1:meshSize);
y1 = linspace(-10, 10, meshSize+1); y = y1(1:meshSize);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x, y);
H0 = zeros(size(X)); % height field at time t = 0
for i = 1:meshSize
for j = 1:meshSize
kx = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + x(i)); % = 2*pi*n / Lx
ky = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + y(j)); % = 2*pi*m / Ly
P = phillips(kx, ky, windDir, windSpeed, A, g); % phillips spectrum
H0(i,j) = 1/sqrt(2) * (randn(1) + 1i * randn(1)) * sqrt(P);
end
end
H0 = H0 + conj(H0);
surf(X,Y,abs(ifft(H0)));
axis([-10 10 -10 10 -10 10]);
And the phillips function:
function P = phillips(kx, ky, windDir, windSpeed, A, g)
k_sq = kx^2 + ky^2;
L = windSpeed^2 / g;
k = [kx, ky] / sqrt(k_sq);
wk = k(1) * windDir(1) + k(2) * windDir(2);
P = A / k_sq^2 * exp(-1.0 / (k_sq * L^2)) * wk^2;
end
Is there any matlab ocean simulation source code which could help me to understand my mistakes? Fast google search didn't get any results.
Here's a "correct" result I got from "CUDA FFT Ocean Simulation". I didn't achieve this behavior in Matlab yet but I've ploted "surf" in matlab using data from "CUDA FFT Ocean Simulation". Here's what it looks like:
I've made an experiment and got an interesting result:
I've taken generated h0 from "CUDA FFT Ocean Simulation". So I have to do ifft to transform from frequency domain to spatial domain to plot the graph. I've done it for the same h0 using matlab ifft and using cufftExecC2C from CUDA library. Here's the result:
CUDA ifft:
Matlab ifft:
Either I don't understand some aspects of realization of cufftExecC2C or cufftExecC2C and matlab ifft are different algorithms with different results.
By the way parameters for generating such surface are:
meshSize = 32
A = 1e-7
patchSize = 80
windSpeed = 10
Well that was definitely a funny exercise. This is a completely rewritten answer since you found the issues you were asking about by yourself.
Instead of deleting my answer, there is still merit in posting to help you vectorize and/or explain a few bits of code.
I completely rewrote the GUI I gave in my former answer in order to incorporate your changes and add a couple of options. It started to grew arms and legs so I won't put the listing here but you can find the full file there:
ocean_simulator.m.
This is completely self contained and it includes all the calculating functions I vectorized and list separately below.
The GUI will allow you to play with the parameters, animate the waves, export GIF file (and a few other options like the "preset", but they are not too ironed out yet). A few examples of what you can achieve:
Basic
This is what you get with the quick default settings, and a couple of rendering options. This uses a small grid size and a fast time step, so it runs pretty quickly on any machine.
I am quite limited at home (Pentium E2200 32bit), so I could only practice with limited settings. The gui will run even with the settings maxed but it will become to slow to really enjoy.
However, with a quick run of ocean_simulator at work (I7 64 bit, 8 cores, 16GB ram, 2xSSD in Raid), it makes it much more fun! Here are a few examples:
Although done on a much better machine, I didn't use any parallel functionality nor any GPU calculations, so Matlab was only using a portion of these specs, which means it could probably run just as good on any 64bit system with decent RAM
Windy lake
This is a rather flat water surface like a lake. Even high winds do not produce high amplitude waves (but still a lot of mini wavelets). If you're a wind surfer looking at that from your window on top of the hill, your heart is going to skip a beat and your next move is to call Dave "Man! gear up. Meet you in five on the water!"
Swell
This is you looking from the bridge of your boat on the morning, after having battled with the storm all night. The storm has dissipated and the long large waves are the last witness of what was definitely a shaky night (people with sailing experience will know ...).
T-Storm
And this was what you were up to the night before...
second gif done at home, hence the lack of detail ... sorry
To the bottom:
Finally, the gui will let you add a patch around the water domain. In the gui it is transparent so you could add objects underwater or a nice ocean bottom. Unfortunately, the GIF format cannot include an alpha channel so no transparency here (but if you export in a video then you should be ok).
Moreover, the export to GIF degrade the image, the joint between the domain border and the water surface is flawless if you run that in Matlab. In some case it also make Matlab degrade the rendering of the lighting, so this is definitely not the best option for export, but it allows more things to play within matlab.
Now onto the code:
Instead of listing the full GUI, which would be super long (this post is long enough already), I will just list here the re-written version of your code, and explain the changes.
You should notice a massive increase of speed execution (orders of magnitude), thanks to the remaining vectorization, but mostly for two reasons:
(i) A lot of calculations were repeated. Caching values and reusing them is much faster than recalculating full matrices in loops (during the animation part).
(ii) Note how I defined the surface graphic object. It is defined only once (empty even), then all the further calls (in the loop) only update the underlying ZData of the surface object (instead of re-creating a surface object at each iteration.

You'll notice that I changed a few things, but I can assure you the calculations are exactly the same. This code calls a few subfunctions but they are all vectorized so if you want you can just copy/paste them here and run everything inline.
The first function called is initialize_wave.m
Everything calculated here will be constant later (it does not vary with time when you later animate the waves), so it made sense to put that into a block on it's own.
function [H0, W, Grid_Sign] = initialize_wave( param )
% function [H0, W, Grid_Sign] = initialize_wave( param )
%
% This function return the wave height coefficients H0 and W for the
% parameters given in input. These coefficients are constants for a given
% set of input parameters.
% Third output parameter is optional (easy to recalculate anyway)
rng(param.rng); %// setting seed for random numbers
gridSize = param.meshsize * [1 1] ;
meshLim = pi * param.meshsize / param.patchsize ;
N = linspace(-meshLim , meshLim , param.meshsize ) ;
M = linspace(-meshLim , meshLim , param.meshsize ) ;
[Kx,Ky] = meshgrid(N,M) ;
K = sqrt(Kx.^2 + Ky.^2); %// ||K||
W = sqrt(K .* param.g); %// deep water frequencies (empirical parameter)
[windx , windy] = pol2cart( deg2rad(param.winddir) , 1) ;
P = phillips(Kx, Ky, [windx , windy], param.windSpeed, param.A, param.g) ;
H0 = 1/sqrt(2) .* (randn(gridSize) + 1i .* randn(gridSize)) .* sqrt(P); % height field at time t = 0
if nargout == 3
Grid_Sign = signGrid( param.meshsize ) ;
end
Note that the initial winDir parameter is now expressed with a single scalar value representing the "azimuth" (in degrees) of the wind (anything from 0 to 360). It is later translated to its X and Y components thanks to the function pol2cart.
[windx , windy] = pol2cart( deg2rad(param.winddir) , 1) ;
This insure that the norm is always 1.
The function calls your problematic phillips.m separately, but as said before it works even fully vectorized so you can copy it back inline if you like. (don't worry I checked the results against your versions => strictly identical). Note that this function does not output complex numbers so there was no need to compare the imaginary parts.
function P = phillips(Kx, Ky, windDir, windSpeed, A, g)
%// The function now accept scalar, vector or full 2D grid matrix as input
K_sq = Kx.^2 + Ky.^2;
L = windSpeed.^2 ./ g;
k_norm = sqrt(K_sq) ;
WK = Kx./k_norm * windDir(1) + Ky./k_norm * windDir(2);
P = A ./ K_sq.^2 .* exp(-1.0 ./ (K_sq * L^2)) .* WK.^2 ;
P( K_sq==0 | WK<0 ) = 0 ;
end
The next function called by the main program is calc_wave.m. This function finishes the calculations of the wave field for a given time. It is definitely worth having that on its own because this is the mimimun set of calculations which will have to be repeated for each given time when you want to animate the waves.
function Z = calc_wave( H0,W,time,Grid_Sign )
% Z = calc_wave( H0,W,time,Grid_Sign )
%
% This function calculate the wave height based on the wave coefficients H0
% and W, for a given "time". Default time=0 if not supplied.
% Fourth output parameter is optional (easy to recalculate anyway)
% recalculate the grid sign if not supplied in input
if nargin < 4
Grid_Sign = signGrid( param.meshsize ) ;
end
% Assign time=0 if not specified in input
if nargin < 3 ; time = 0 ; end
wt = exp(1i .* W .* time ) ;
Ht = H0 .* wt + conj(rot90(H0,2)) .* conj(wt) ;
Z = real( ifft2(Ht) .* Grid_Sign ) ;
end
The last 3 lines of calculations require a bit of explanation as they received the biggest changes (all for the same result but a much better speed).
Your original line:
Ht = H0 .* exp(1i .* W .* (t * timeStep)) + conj(flip(flip(H0,1),2)) .* exp(-1i .* W .* (t * timeStep));
recalculate the same thing too many times to be efficient:
(t * timeStep) is calculated twice on the line, at each loop, while it is easy to get the proper time value for each line when time is initialised at the beginning of the loop for time = (1:nSteps)*timeStep.
Also note that exp(-1i .* W .* time) is the same than conj(exp(1i .* W .* time)). Instead of doing 2*m*n multiplications to calculate them each, it is faster to calculate one once, then use the conj() operation which is much faster.
So your single line would become:
wt = exp(1i .* W .* time ) ;
Ht = H0 .* wt + conj(flip(flip(H0,1),2)) .* conj(wt) ;
Last minor touch, flip(flip(H0,1),2)) can be replaced by rot90(H0,2) (also marginally faster).
Note that because the function calc_wave is going to be repeated extensively, it is definitely worth reducing the number of calculations (as we did above), but also by sending it the Grid_Sign parameter (instead of letting the function recalculate it every iteration). This is why:
Your mysterious function signCor(ifft2(Ht),meshSize)), simply reverse the sign of every other element of Ht. There is a faster way of achieving that: simply multiply Ht by a matrix the same size (Grid_Sign) which is a matrix of alternated +1 -1 ... and so on.
so signCor(ifft2(Ht),meshSize) becomes ifft2(Ht) .* Grid_Sign.
Since Grid_Sign is only dependent on the matrix size, it does not change for each time in the loop, you only calculate it once (before the loop) then use it as it is for every other iteration. It is calculated as follow (vectorized, so you can also put it inline in your code):
function sgn = signGrid(n)
% return a matrix the size of n with alternate sign for every indice
% ex: sgn = signGrid(3) ;
% sgn =
% -1 1 -1
% 1 -1 1
% -1 1 -1
[x,y] = meshgrid(1:n,1:n) ;
sgn = ones( n ) ;
sgn(mod(x+y,2)==0) = -1 ;
end
Lastly, you will notice a difference in how the grids [Kx,Ky] are defined between your version and this one. They do produce slightly different result, it's just a matter of choice.
To explain with a simple example, let's consider a small meshsize=5. Your way of doing things will split that into 5 values, equally spaced, like so:
Kx(first line)=[-1.5 -0.5 0.5 1.5 2.5] * 2 * pi / patchSize
while my way of producing the grid will produce equally spaced values, but also centered on the domain limits, like so:
Kx(first line)=[-2.50 -1.25 0.0 1.25 2.50] * 2 * pi / patchSize
It seems to respect more your comment % = 2*pi*n / Lx, -N/2 <= n < N/2 on the line where you define it.
I tend to prefer symmetric solutions (plus it is also slightly faster but it is only calculated once so it is not a big deal), so I used my vectorized way, but it is purely a matter of choice, you can definitely keep your way, it only ever so slightly "offset" the whole result matrix, but it doesn't perturbate the calculations per se.
last remains of the first answer
Side programming notes:
I detect you come from the C/C++ world or family. In Matlab you do not need to define decimal number with a coma (like 2.0, you used that for most of your numbers). Unless specifically defined otherwise, Matlab by default cast any number to double, which is a 64 bit floating point type. So writing 2 * pi is enough to get the maximum precision (Matlab won't cast pi as an integer ;-)), you do not need to write 2.0 * pi. Although it will still work if you don't want to change your habits.
Also, (one of the great benefit of Matlab), adding . before an operator usually mean "element-wise" operation. You can add (.+), substract (.-), multiply (.*), divide (./) full matrix element wise this way. This is how I got rid of all the loops in your code. This also work for the power operator: A.^2 will return a matrix the same size as A with every element squared.
Here's the working program.
First of all - source code:
clear all; close all; clc;
rng(13); % setting seed for random numbers
meshSize = 128; % field size
windDir = [0.1,1];
patchSize = 200;
A = 1e-7;
g = 9.81; % gravitational constant
windSpeed = 100;
timeStep = 1/25;
x1 = linspace(-10, 10, meshSize+1); x = x1(1:meshSize);
y1 = linspace(-10, 10, meshSize+1); y = y1(1:meshSize);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y); % wave field
i = 1:meshSize; j = 1:meshSize; % indecies
[I,J] = meshgrid(i,j); % field of indecies
Kx = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + I); % = 2*pi*n / Lx, -N/2 <= n < N/2
Ky = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + J); % = 2*pi*m / Ly, -M/2 <= m < M/2
K = sqrt(Kx.^2 + Ky.^2); % ||K||
W = sqrt(K .* g); % deep water frequencies (empirical parameter)
P = zeros(size(X)); % Cant compute P without loops
for i = 1:meshSize
for j = 1:meshSize
P(i,j) = phillips(Kx(i,j), Ky(i,j), windDir, windSpeed, A, g); % phillips spectrum
end
end
H0 = 1/sqrt(2) .* (randn(size(X)) + 1i .* randn(size(X))) .* sqrt(P); % height field at time t = 0
rotate3d on;
for t = 1:10000 % 10000 * timeStep (sec)
Ht = H0 .* exp(1i .* W .* (t * timeStep)) + ...
conj(flip(flip(H0,1),2)) .* exp(-1i .* W .* (t * timeStep));
[az,el] = view;
surf(X,Y,real(signCor(ifft2(Ht),meshSize)));
axis([-10 10 -10 10 -1e-4 1e-4]); view(az,el);
blue = linspace(0.4, 1.0, 25)'; map = [blue*0, blue*0, blue];
%shading interp; % improve shading (remove "faceted" effect)
colormap(map);
pause(1/60);
end
phillips.m: (I've tried to vectorize the computation of Phillips spectrum but I faced with a difficulty which I'll show further)
function P = phillips(kx, ky, windDir, windSpeed, A, g)
k_sq = kx^2 + ky^2;
if k_sq == 0
P = 0;
else
L = windSpeed^2 / g;
k = [kx, ky] / sqrt(k_sq);
wk = k(1) * windDir(1) + k(2) * windDir(2);
P = A / k_sq^2 * exp(-1.0 / (k_sq * L^2)) * wk^2;
if wk < 0
P = 0;
end
end
end
signCor.m: (This function is an absolutely mystery for me... I've copied it from "CUDA FFT Ocean Simulation" realization. Simulation works much worse without it. And again I don't know how to vectorize this function.)
function H = signCor(H1, meshSize)
H = H1;
for i = 1:meshSize
for j = 1:meshSize
if mod(i+j,2) == 0
sign = -1; % works fine if we change signs vice versa
else
sign = 1;
end
H(i,j) = H1(i,j) * sign;
end
end
end
The biggest mistake that I've done is that I used ifft instead of using ifft2, that's why CUDA ifft and Matlab ifft didn't match.
My second mistake was in this lines of code:
kx = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + x(i)); % = 2*pi*n / Lx
ky = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + y(j)); % = 2*pi*m / Ly
I should've write:
kx = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + i); % = 2*pi*n / Lx
ky = 2.0 * pi / patchSize * (-meshSize / 2.0 + j); % = 2*pi*m / Ly
I've played a bit with parameters A, meshSize, patchSize and I came to the conclusion that:
Somehow plausible parameter of wave amplitude is A * (patchSize / meshSize), where A is nothing but a scaling factor.
For 'calm' patchSize / meshSize <= 0.5.
For 'tsunami' patchSize / meshSize >= 3.0.
Difficulty with a vectorization of Phillips spectrum:
I have 2 functions:
% non-vectorized spectrum
function P = phillips1(kx, ky, windDir, windSpeed, A, g)
k_sq = kx^2 + ky^2;
if k_sq == 0
P = 0;
else
L = windSpeed^2 / g;
k = [kx, ky] / sqrt(k_sq);
wk = k(1) * windDir(1) + k(2) * windDir(2);
P = A / k_sq^2 * exp(-1.0 / (k_sq * L^2)) * wk^2;
if wk < 0
P = 0;
end
end
end
% vectorized spectrum
function P = phillips2(Kx, Ky, windDir, windSpeed, A, g)
K_sq = Kx .^ 2 + Ky .^ 2;
L = -g^2 / windSpeed^4;
WK = (Kx ./ K_sq) .* windDir(1) + (Ky ./ K_sq) .* windDir(2);
P = (A ./ (K_sq .^ 2)) .* ( exp(L ./ K_sq) .* (WK .^ 2) );
P(K_sq == 0) = 0;
P(WK < 0) = 0;
P(isinf(P)) = 0;
end
After I compute P1 using phillips1 and P2 using phillips2 I plot their difference:
subplot(2,1,1); surf(X,Y,real(P2-P1)); title('Difference in real part');
subplot(2,1,2); surf(X,Y,imag(P2-P1)); title('Difference in imaginary part');
It perfectly illustrates that there's a huge difference between this 2 spectrums in real part.

Shorten this in Matlab

Let x = [1,...,t] be a vector with t components and A and P arrays. I asked myself whether there is any chance to shorten this, as it looks very cumbersome:
for n = 1:t
for m = 1:n
H(n,m) = A(n,m) + x(n) * P(n,m)
end
end
My suggestion: bsxfun(#times,x,P) + A;
e.g.
A = rand(3);
P = rand(3);
x = rand(3,1);
for n = 1:3
for m = 1:3
H(n,m) = A(n,m) + x(n) * P(n,m);
end
end
H2 = bsxfun(#times,x,P) + A;
%//Check that they're the same
all(H(:) == H2(:))
returns
ans = 1
EDIT:
Amro is right! To make the second loop is dependent on the first use tril:
H2 = tril(bsxfun(#times,x,P) + A);
Are the matrices square btw because that also creates other problems
tril(A + P.*repmat(x',1,t))
EDIT. This is for when x is row vector.
If x is a column vector, then use tril(A + P.*repmat(x,t,1))
If your example code is correct, then H(i,j) = 0 for any j > i, e.g. X(1,2).
For t = 3 for example, you would have.
H =
'A(1,1) + x(1) * P(1,1)' [] []
'A(2,1) + x(2) * P(2,1)' 'A(2,2) + x(2) * P(2,2)' []
'A(3,1) + x(3) * P(3,1)' 'A(3,2) + x(3) * P(3,2)' 'A(3,3) + x(3) * P(3,3)'
Like I pointed out in the comments, unless it was a typo mistake, the second for-loop counter depends on that of the first for-loop...
In case it was intentional, I came up with the following solution:
% some random data
t = 10;
x = (1:t)';
A = rand(t,t);
P = rand(t,t);
% double for-loop
H = zeros(t,t);
for n = 1:t
for m = 1:n
H(n,m) = A(n,m) + x(n) * P(n,m);
end
end
% vectorized using linear-indexing
[a,b] = ndgrid(1:t,1:t);
idx = sub2ind([t t], nonzeros(tril(a)), nonzeros(tril(b)));
xidx = nonzeros(tril(a));
HH = zeros(t);
HH(tril(true(t))) = A(idx) + x(xidx).*P(idx);
% check the results are the same
assert(isequal(H,HH))
I like #Dan's solution better. The only advantage here is that I do not compute unnecessary values (since the upper half of the matrix is zeros), while the other solution computes the full matrix and then cut back the extra stuff.
A good start would be
H = A + x*P
This may not be a working solution, you'll have to check conformability of arrays and vectors, and make sure that you're using the correct multiplication, but this should be enough to point you in the right direction. If you're new to Matlab be aware that vectors can be either 1xn or nx1, ie row and column vectors are different species unlike in so many programming languages. If x isn't what you want on the rhs, you may want its transpose, x' in Matlab.
Matlab is, from one point of view, an array language, explicit loops are often unnecessary and frequently not even a good way to go.
Since the range for second loop is 1:n, you can take the lower triangle parts of matrices A and P for calculation
H = bsxfun(#times,x(:),tril(P)) + tril(A);

Matlab remove loop to calculate PT1

I am calculating PT1 behavior in Matlab using the input vector u:
u(20:50,1) = 2;
k = 0.8;
x=zeros(50,1);
for i=2:size(u,1)
x(i) = k*x(i-1) + (1-k)*u(i);
end
How can I remove the for loop to get the same result?
This is actually a first-order IIR filter, so you can use filter for that:
u(20:50, 1) = 2;
k = 0.8;
x = filter(1 - k, [1, -k], u);
If you write x(i) out for a couple of values, you'll see a pattern in it:
x(1) = 0; % since the loop starts at i=2
x(2) = k*x(1) + (1-k)*u(2)
= 0 + (1-k)*u(2)
x(3) = k*x(2) + (1-k)*u(3)
= k*(1-k)*u(2) + (1-k)*u(3)
x(4) = k*x(3) + (1-k)*u(4)
= k^2*(1-k)*u(2) + k*(1-k)*u(3) + (1-k)*u(4)
...
So you'll easily spot the pattern being:
x(i) = (1-k) * sum(k^(i-j)*u(j), j=2..i)
which is now an explicit function.
You could apply this to remove your loop, but in reality this explicit function itself must calculate a large sum. Doing this for every index of x takes probably more time than looping and re-using prior results.
