Nachricht

A retired applied mathematician, consultant, sometime mechanical engineer, numerical analyst, woodworker, bridge player. Please DON'T contact me, as too many students then decide I am their personal consultant if I allow it. I won't do consulting by mail.

GA stops with different score every time, even with setting big MaxGeneations and MaxStallGenerations
Nonlinear solvers, of which GA is one, cannot be forced to ALWAYS return the optimal result. And while tools like GA are designe...

Does [V,D] = eig(A) always return normalized eigenvectors for any real matrix A?
Be a little careful that A is not in symbolic form, even if it is real and SPD. A = randn(4,3); A = A'*A % A MUST clearly be SP...

What is an emirp? Can we find a new world record size prime of this form, using only MATLAB, and a home computer?
An emirp is a prime that is prime when viewed in in both directions. They are not too difficult to find at a lower level. For ex...

When I use nlinfit, the sintax nlinfit(t0,p0 ,@(b,t) ...),but if Ireplace nlinfit with fmincon, the sintax is not valid, why?
@Marcos there is no need to use global variables. For example... x = rand(20,1); y = 3 + 4*exp(x*1.5) + randn(size(x))/3; plo...
