How to formulate this expression - matlab

Question

I am new to MATLAB and I want to formulate the following lease square expression in Matlab. I have some codes that I am typing here. But the optimization problem solution seems not to be correct. Does anyone has an idea why?
First, I want to solve the heat equation
$$T_t(x,t) = - L_x . T(x,t) + F(x,t)$$
where L_x is Laplacian matrix of the graph.
then find y from the following least square.
$$ \min_y \sum_{j} \sum_{i} (\hat{T}_j(t_i) - T_j(t_i, y))^2$$
Thanks in advance!!
Here is my code:

% incidence matrix for original graph
C_hat = [ 1 -1 0 0 0 0;...
0 1 -1 0 0 -1;...
0 0 0 0 -1 1;...

-1 0 1 -1 0 0];
% initial temperature for each vertex in original graph
T_hat_0 = [0 7 1 9 4];
[M_bar,n,m_bar,T_hat_heat,T_hat_temp] = simulate_temp(T_hat_0,C_hat);
C = [ 1 1 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 0;...
0 -1 0 0 1 -1 1 0 0 0;...
0 0 1 0 0 1 0 -1 -1 0;...
0 0 0 1 0 0 -1 0 1 -1;...
-1 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1 0 1];
%
% initial temperature for each vertex in original graph
T_0 = [0 7 1 9 4];
%
% initial temperature simulation
[l,n,m,T_heat,T_temp] = simulate_temp(T_0,C);
%
% bounds for variables
lb = zeros(m,1);
ub = ones(m,1);
%
% initial edge weights
w0 = ones(m,1);
% optimization problem
% w = fmincon(#fun, w0, [], [], [], [], lb, ub);
%++++++++++++++++++++ function++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
function [i,n,m,T_heat,T_temp] = simulate_temp(T,C)
%
% initial conditions
delta_t = 0.1;
M = 20; %% number of time steps
t = 1;
[n,m] = size(C);
I = eye(n);
L_w = C * C';
T_ini = T';
Temp = zeros(n,1);
% Computing Temperature
%
for i=1:M
K = 2*I + L_w * delta_t;
H = 2*I - L_w * delta_t;
%
if i == 1
T_heat = (K \ H) * T_ini;
%
t = t + delta_t;
else
T_heat = (K \ H) * Temp;
%
t = t + delta_t;
end
% replacing column of T_final with each node temperature in each
% iteration. It adds one column to the matrix in each step
T_temp(:,i) = T_heat;
%
Temp = T_heat;
end
end

Answer 1

To give a more clear answer, I need more information about what form you have the functions F_j and E_j in.
I've assumed that you feed each F_j a value, x_i, and get back a number. I've also assumed that you feed E_j a value x_i, and another value (or vector) y, and get back a value.
I've also assumed that by 'i' and 'j' you mean the indices of the columns and rows respectively, and that they're finite.
All I can suggest without knowing more info is to do this:
Pre-calculate the values of the functions F_j for each x_i, to give a matrix F - where element F(i,j) gives you the value F_j(x_i).
Do the same thing for E_j, giving a matrix E - where E(i,j) corresponds to E_j(x_i,y).
Perform (F-E).^2 to subtract each element of F and E, then square them element-wise.
Take sum( (F-E).^2**, 2)**. sum(M,2) will sum across index i of matrix M, returning a column vector.
Finally, take sum( sum( (F-E).^2, 2), 1) to sum across index j, the columns, this will finally give you a scalar.
