I'm trying to create a matrix M satisfying:
M(i,j) = f(i,j)
for some f. I can do elementwise initialization through say M = zeros(m,n) then looping. For example (in Octave):
M = zeros(m,n)
for i = 1 : m
for j = 1 : n
m(i, j) = (i+j)/2;
endfor
endfor
But AFAIK loops are not the optimal way to go with MATLAB. Any hints?
Sure!
xi = 1:m;
xj = 1:n;
Ai = repmat(xi',1,length(xj));
Aj = repmat(xj,length(xi),1);
M = f(Ai,Aj);
You can do this with any f() so long as it takes matrix arguments and does element-by-element math. For example: f = #(i,j) (i+j)/2 or for multiplication: f = #(i,j) i.*j The Ai matrix has identical elements for each row, the Aj matrix has identical elements for each column. The repmat() function repeats a matrix (or vector) into a larger matrix.
I also edited the above to abstract out vectors xi and xj -- you have them as 1:m and 1:n vectors but they can be arbitrary numerical vectors (e.g. [1 2 7.0 pi 1:0.1:20])

I have to perform matrix updating by M = M + c*a*a' large number of times, where c is a constant and a is a column vector. If the size of matrix is larger than 1000, this simple updating will cost most of the time of my function, typically more than 1 min counted by profile.
Main codes are:
for i = 1:N
_do something..._
for k = 1:n
a(1:k) = M(1:k,1:k)*p(1:k);
M(1:k,1:k) = M(1:k,1:k)+c*a(1:k)*a(1:k)';
M(1:k, k+1) = b(1:k);
M(k+1, 1:k) = b(1:k)';
M(k+1, k+1) = x;
......
end
end
I have preallocated all variables, column vectors p and b are known, and x is another constant.
As I have large number of data to process by this function, does there exist more efficient alternative to this matrix updating?
You can concatenate a vectors to create a matrix A then apply multiplication just one time.
A =[a1 a2 a3];
M = c * A * A.';
consider the example
A = rand(5,5);
M = 0;
c=4;
for n = 1:5
M = M + c * A(:,n) * A(:,n).';
end
and this one
M1 = c * A * A.'
both M and M1 are equal
Have you tried using bsxfun?
In any case, bsxfun is much faster than regular multiplication, but the vectors/matrices have to be of equal length (which they are for you, aren't they?), and it's operating elementwise (i.e. a Nx1 vector bsx-multiplied with itself yields a Nx1 vector, multiplied with the transpose however yields a NxN matrix).
see https://mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/bsxfun.html
use as
bsxfun(#times, a, a')
In Matlab I am trying to create a cell of size 16 x1 where each entry of this cell is a matrix. I have the following equation
$$W_g = exp^{\frac{j{2\pi m}{N}(n+\frac{g}{G}))} \,\,\,\,\,\,\, m,n=0,1,.....(N-1)$$
for this work assume $N=4$ and the index $g$ is the index that refers to the cell element i.e g=0:1:15
W=cell(16,1);
for g=1:16
for m=1:3
for n=1:3
W{g,m,n}= exp((2*pi*j*m/4)* n+(g-1)/16));
end
end
end
How can I make this work? I have two problems with this, you see g starts from 0 and MATLAB doesnt accept index of zero and how to actually define the matrices within the cell.
Thanks
So if I understand you have this equation:
And you just want the following code:
W=cell(16,1);
n = 1:3;
m = 1:3;
N = 4;
for g=1:16
W{g}= exp((2*pi*j.*m/4*N).*n+(g-1)/16);
end
%or the 1 line version:
W = cellfun(#(g) exp((2*pi*j.*m/4*N).*n+(g-1)/16),num2cell([1:16]),'UniformOutput',0);
With matlab you can use the Element-wise multiplication symbol .*
For example:
%A matrix multiplication
A = [2,3]
B = [1,3]';
result = A * B %result = 11
%An element wise multiplication
A = [2,3]
B = [1,3];
result = A .* B %result = [2,9]
First of all, i is the complex number in matlab (sqrt(-1)) not j, and you are correct, matlab is indexed in 1, so simply start counting g at 1, until 16.
Next, create a zero matrix, and calculate all indices accordingly. Something like this should work just fine :
clc
clear all
W=cell(16,1);
for g=1:16;
temp = zeros(3,3);
for m=1:3
for n=1:3
temp (m,n) = exp((2*pi*1i*m/4)* n+g/16);
end
end
W{g} = temp;
end
if you are considering doing much larger operations, consider using linspace to create your m and n indices and using matrix operations
I am trying to use meshgrid in Matlab together with Chebfun to get rid of double for loops. I first define a quasi-matrix of N functions,
%Define functions of type Chebfun
N = 10; %number of functions
x = chebfun('x', [0 8]); %Domain
psi = [];
for i = 1:N
psi = [psi sin(i.*pi.*x./8)];
end
A sample calculation would be to compute the double sum $\sum_{i,j=1}^10 psi(:,i).*psi(:,j)$. I can achieve this using two for loops in Matlab,
h = 0;
for i = 1:N
for j = 1:N
h = h + psi(:,i).*psi(:,j);
end
end
I then tried to use meshgrid to vectorize in the following way:
[i j] = meshgrid(1:N,1:N);
h = psi(:,i).*psi(:,j);
I get the error "Column index must be a vector of integers". How can I overcome this issue so that I can get rid of my double for loops and make my code a bit more efficient?
BTW, Chebfun is not part of native MATLAB and you have to download it in order to run your code: http://www.chebfun.org/. However, that shouldn't affect how I answer your question.
Basically, psi is a N column matrix and it is your desire to add up products of all combinations of pairs of columns in psi. You have the right idea with meshgrid, but what you should do instead is unroll the 2D matrix of coordinates for both i and j so that they're single vectors. You'd then use this and create two N^2 column matrices that is in such a way where each column corresponds to that exact column numbers specified from i and j sampled from psi. You'd then do an element-wise multiplication between these two matrices and sum across all of the columns for each row. BTW, I'm going to use ii and jj as variables from the output of meshgrid instead of i and j. Those variables are reserved for the complex number in MATLAB and I don't want to overshadow those unintentionally.
Something like this:
%// Your code
N = 10; %number of functions
x = chebfun('x', [0 8]); %Domain
psi = [];
for i = 1:N
psi = [psi sin(i.*pi.*x./8)];
end
%// New code
[ii,jj] = meshgrid(1:N, 1:N);
%// Create two matrices and sum
matrixA = psi(:, ii(:));
matrixB = psi(:, jj(:));
h = sum(matrixA.*matrixB, 2);
If you want to do away with the temporary variables, you can do it in one statement after calling meshgrid:
h = sum(psi(:, ii(:)).*psi(:, jj(:)), 2);
I don't have Chebfun installed, but we can verify that this calculates what we need with a simple example:
rng(123);
N = 10;
psi = randi(20, N, N);
Running this code with the above more efficient solution gives us:
>> h
h =
8100
17161
10816
12100
14641
9216
10000
8649
9025
11664
Also, running the above double for loop code also gives us:
>> h
h =
8100
17161
10816
12100
14641
9216
10000
8649
9025
11664
If you want to be absolutely sure, we can have both codes run with the outputs as separate variables, then check if they're equal:
%// Setup
rng(123);
N = 10;
psi = randi(20, N, N);
%// Old code
h = 0;
for i = 1:N
for j = 1:N
h = h + psi(:,i).*psi(:,j);
end
end
%// New code
[ii,jj] = meshgrid(1:N, 1:N);
hnew = sum(psi(:, ii(:)).*psi(:, jj(:)), 2);
%// Check for equality
eql = isequal(h, hnew);
eql checks if both variables are equal, and we do get them as such:
>> eql
eql =
1
I want to multiply two vectors to produce a matrix.
I have a vector 1*m and another 1*n which are in my case V (1*71) and I (1*315). The other vectors have same length as I.
I want to multiply every value of I with all values of V and have the answer in a matrix where every row or column of new matrix is I(t).*V
Ir and Temp are vectors with the size of 1*315 and all the variables have the same length and T is 315.
The other parameters that you see in the code are constant values.
This is the code :
function [I] = solar2diodedyn( Ir,time,Temp )
V = 0:0.01:0.7; %open circuit voltage of one cell in V.
for t=1:time;
T(t)= Temp(t)+273;
Vt(t)=(k*T(t))/q;
Iph(t) = Isc_cell*(Ir(t)/1000)*(1+(T_co*(Temp(t)-25)));
I0(t)=Is1*((T(t)/Tmeas)^(3/n1))*exp(Eg*((T(t)/Tmeas)-1)/(n1*Vt(t)));
I02(t)=Is2*((T(t)/Tmeas)^(3/n2))*exp(Eg*((T(t)/Tmeas)-1)/(n2*Vt(t)));
I(t) = zeros(size(t));
i=length(V);
for x=1:i
I(t) = Iph(t) - I0(t)*(exp((V(x)+I(t)*Rs)/(n1*Vt(t)))-1)-I02(t)*(exp((V(x)+I(t)*Rs)/(n2*Vt(t)))-1)-((V(x)+I(t)*Rs)/Rsh);
end
end
Thanks in advance
If you have two vectors x (of size 1-by-n) and y (of size 1-by-m) and you want a matrix M of size n-by-m such that M(i,j) = x(i) * y(j) then you are trying to compute the outer product of x and y.
This can be done easily with matlab
>> M = x.' * y;
I have double summation over m = 1:M and n = 1:N for polar point with coordinates rho, phi, z:
I have written vectorized notation of it:
N = 10;
M = 10;
n = 1:N;
m = 1:M;
rho = 1;
phi = 1;
z = 1;
summ = cos (n*z) * besselj(m'-1, n*rho) * cos(m*phi)';
Now I need to rewrite this function for accepting vectors (columns) of coordinates rho, phi, z. I tried arrayfun, cellfun, simple for loop - they work too slow for me. I know about "MATLAB array manipulation tips and tricks", but as MATLAB beginner I can't understand repmat and other functions.
Can anybody suggest vectorized solution?
I think your code is already well vectorized (for n and m). If you want this function to also accept an array of rho/phi/z values, I suggest you simply process the values in a for-loop, as I doubt any further vectorization will bring significant improvements (plus the code will be harder to read).
Having said that, in the code below, I tried to vectorize the part where you compute the various components being multiplied {row N} * { matrix N*M } * {col M} = {scalar}, by making a single call to the BESSELJ and COS functions (I place each of the row/matrix/column in the third dimension). Their multiplication is still done in a loop (ARRAYFUN to be exact):
%# parameters
N = 10; M = 10;
n = 1:N; m = 1:M;
num = 50;
rho = 1:num; phi = 1:num; z = 1:num;
%# straightforward FOR-loop
tic
result1 = zeros(1,num);
for i=1:num
result1(i) = cos(n*z(i)) * besselj(m'-1, n*rho(i)) * cos(m*phi(i))';
end
toc
%# vectorized computation of the components
tic
a = cos( bsxfun(#times, n, permute(z(:),[3 2 1])) );
b = besselj(m'-1, reshape(bsxfun(#times,n,rho(:))',[],1)'); %'
b = permute(reshape(b',[length(m) length(n) length(rho)]), [2 1 3]); %'
c = cos( bsxfun(#times, m, permute(phi(:),[3 2 1])) );
result2 = arrayfun(#(i) a(:,:,i)*b(:,:,i)*c(:,:,i)', 1:num); %'
toc
%# make sure the two results are the same
assert( isequal(result1,result2) )
I did another benchmark test using the TIMEIT function (gives more fair timings). The result agrees with the previous:
0.0062407 # elapsed time (seconds) for the my solution
0.015677 # elapsed time (seconds) for the FOR-loop solution
Note that as you increase the size of the input vectors, the two methods will start to have similar timings (the FOR-loop even wins on some occasions)
You need to create two matrices, say m_ and n_ so that by selecting element i,j of each matrix you get the desired index for both m and n.
Most MATLAB functions accept matrices and vectors and compute their results element by element. So to produce a double sum, you compute all elements of the sum in parallel by f(m_, n_) and sum them.
In your case (note that the .* operator performs element-wise multiplication of matrices)
N = 10;
M = 10;
n = 1:N;
m = 1:M;
rho = 1;
phi = 1;
z = 1;
% N rows x M columns for each matrix
% n_ - all columns are identical
% m_ - all rows are identical
n_ = repmat(n', 1, M);
m_ = repmat(m , N, 1);
element_nm = cos (n_*z) .* besselj(m_-1, n_*rho) .* cos(m_*phi);
sum_all = sum( element_nm(:) );
