Combining Anonymous Functions in MATLAB

Question

I have a cell array of anonymous function handles, and would like to create one anonymous function that returns the vector containing the output of each function.

What I have:

ca = {@(X) f(X), @(X)g(X), ...}

What I want:

h = @(X) [ca{1}(X), ca{2}(X), ...]

Answer 1

Yet another way to it:

You can use cellfun to apply a function to each cell array element, which gives you a vector with the respective results. The trick is to apply a function that plugs some value into the function handle that is stored in the cell array.

ca = {@(X) X, @(X) X+1, @(X) X^2};
h=@(x) cellfun(@(y) y(x), ca);

gives

>> h(4)

ans =
     4     5    16
