Performs the generalized app

Please help to generalized the program for given n and input data read from a Excel file Aleator.xlsx with n=1024 or the general case n read as input or set from the begining?

D = xlsread('Aleat.xlsx',1);
n = 11;
nCols = 11
a11 = 0; a21 = 0 ; a31 = 0; a41 = 0; a51 = 0; a61 =0; a71=0; a81=0; a91=0; a101=0;
M = zeros(n,n);
M(1,1:n) = 0;
DM = zeros(10,10);
for i = 1:n
    DM(i,1) = D(i,1)-D(i+1,1);
end;
for i = 1:(n-1)
    DM(i,2) = DM(i,1)-DM(i+1,1);
end;
for i = 1:(n-2)
    DM(i,3) = DM(i,2)-DM(i+1,2);
end;
for i = 1:(n-3)
    DM(i,4) = DM(i,3)-DM(i+1,3);
end;
for i = 1:(n-4)
    DM(i,5) = DM(i,4)-DM(i+1,4);
end;
for i = 1:(n-5)
    DM(i,6) = DM(i,5)-DM(i+1,5);
end;
for i = 1:(n-6)
    DM(i,7) = DM(i,6)-DM(i+1,6);
end;
for i = 1:(n-7)
    DM(i,8) = DM(i,7)-DM(i+1,7);
end;
for i = 1:(n-8)
    DM(i,9) = DM(i,8)-DM(i+1,8);
end;
for i = 1:(n-9)
    DM(i,10) = DM(i,9)-DM(i+1,9);
end;
for i = 1:(n-10)
    DM(i,11) = DM(i,10)-DM(i+1,10);
end;
b1 = D(14,1); .....b11 = D(4,1);
    B1 = [b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 b10 b11];
B2 = B1'
if size(DM, 1) < nCols
    error('Insufficient number of equations.');
end
a = DM' \ B1';
X = linsolve(DM, B1');
a11 = a(1,1); a21 = a(2,1); a31 = a(3,1); a41 = a(4,1); a51 = a(5,1); a61 = a(6,1); a71 = a(7,1); a81 = a(8,1); a91 = a(9,1); a101 = a(10,1);    
b1 = DM(1,1)*a11+DM(1,2)*a21+DM(1,3)*a31+DM(1,4)*a41+DM(1,5)*a51+DM(1,6)*a61+DM(1,7)*a71+DM(1,8)*a81+DM(1,9)*a91+DM(1,10)*a101;
b2 = ....
    b10 = DM(10,1)*a11+DM(10,2)*a21+DM(10,3)*a31+DM(10,4)*a41+DM(10,5)*a51+DM(10,6)*a61+DM(10,7)*a71+DM(10,8)*a81+DM(10,9)*a91+DM(10,10)*a101;

Incorrect use of '=' operator. Assign a value to a variable using '=' and compare values for equality using '=='.

a = DM' \ B1';
X = linsolve(DM, B1');
disp(a);
disp(X);

Your question is not clear to me.

Have a read here and here. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.

It looks like you should not attempt to use numbered variables, but use arrays instead. The syntax error doesn't help with determining what you want to know.

Hey Viorel,

I can help you by providing some hints to generalize your MATLAB script.

• Use a for loop for initializing "DM(i,1)". For calculating the rest of the "DM" matrix, use nested loops:

for j = 1:n
    for i = 1:(n-j)
        DM(i, j+1) = DM(i, j) - DM(i+1, j);
    end
end

• For constructing vectors such as "B1", simply extract the values from the matrix, for example:

B1 = D(1:n, 1);

• Instead of initializing various variables such as "a11", "a21" etc., construct a vector similar to B1 as shown above.
• For calculating the sum of products of various elements such as "b1 = DM(1,1)*a11+DM(1,2)* ....", simply use element wise multiplication between two vectors. For example:

Z = X.*Y 
% X and Y are vectors of equal length

Lastly, use the computed vectors in the function linsolve to get the desired results.

I hope the above suggestions were helpful in generalizing your script.

[Viorel-Mihai Popescu]

I didn' t quite undestand the last:

" B1 = D(1:n, 1);

• Instead of initializing various variables such as "a11", "a21" etc., construct a vector similar to B1 as shown above.
• For calculating the sum of products of various elements such as "b1 = DM(1,1)*a11+DM(1,2)* ....", simply use element wise multiplication between two vectors. For example: Z = X.*Y ...

Could you debug me...

[Shubham]

In your scipt, you have initialized the B1 vector as following:

b1 = D(14,1); .....b11 = D(4,1);
B1 = [b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 b10 b11];

You can refactor this as:

B1 = [D(14,1); D(13,1) .. D(4,1)];

And you can further refactor this as:

B1 = D(4:14,1);
B1 = flip(B1);

For example:

D = rand(14,14)

D = 14×14

B1 = D(4:14,1);
B1 = flip(B1)

B1 = 11×1

Example for "flip" function can be found here:

Similarly construct a vector A such as:

% A=[a11,a21 ... a101]
% A = [a(1,1), a(2,1) ...]
A = a(1:10,1)

Lastly, you are recalculating the variables b1,b2 ...b10. I do not see these variables being used again. A better way would be to use element wise multiplication or perform Matrix multiplication:

% a11 = a(1,1); a21 = a(2,1); a31 = a(3,1); a41 = a(4,1); a51 = a(5,1); a61 = a(6,1); a71 = a(7,1); a81 = a(8,1); a91 = a(9,1); a101 = a(10,1);    
% b1 = DM(1,1)*a11+DM(1,2)*a21+DM(1,3)*a31+DM(1,4)*a41+DM(1,5)*a51+DM(1,6)*a61+DM(1,7)*a71+DM(1,8)*a81+DM(1,9)*a91+DM(1,10)*a101;
% b2 = ....
%     b10 = DM(10,1)*a11+DM(10,2)*a21+DM(10,3)*a31+DM(10,4)*a41+DM(10,5)*a51+DM(10,6)*a61+DM(10,7)*a71+DM(10,8)*a81+DM(10,9)*a91+DM(10,10)*a101;

% Instead of the above method, you can do
ans = DM(1:10,1:10)*a(1:10,1);

I hope the above hints would be helpful!

[Viorel-Mihai Popescu]

It is very helpful but the calculus is not working, it is null:

I think the equality DM = zeros(n,n);

DM(i:n,1)= D(i:n,1)

gives null rezult...

I little help please
