Questions with integral2 , Double, Syms and Dot calucations


I got 2 questions here. 1. If I have y = a*x^2 + 5. What function can make it into y = a.*x.^2 +5. As you seen, dot was inserted.

  1. It's easy, but kinda diffcult to describe, but please have patience with me. Thank you so much. First, let me make a very simple example of my problem. If I want to calucate Y = F(x=1)+ 2.^2, and I know F(x=1) = a+b,(a and b are syms). This means Y = a + b + 4. Problem is here, Matlab give me error if I write down as.

    F = function( .... ); <==== output of function is F(X=1), and = F(x=1) = a+b Y = integral2( F + 2.^2, .. , .. ,..) However, if I just copy the output of F as Y = integral2( a+b + 2.^2, .. , .. ,..) Now it works!!!

Ok. Please allow me to talk about my code here. I am trying to find a double interation by using integral2. One part of my equcation(which is Y) is from another int output(which is F). Matlab will give ERROR for code below:

   clear all; 

  a=4; 
  la1=1/(pi*500^2); la2= la1*5;
  p1=25; p2=p1/25;
  sgma2=10^(-11);
  index=1;
  g=2./a;
  syms r u1 u2  
  powe= -2 ;  
  seta= 10^powe;
  xNor = ( (u2./u1).^(a./2) + 1    ).^(2./a);
  x = (xNor).^(0.5) * seta^(-1/a);

    fun1 =  r./(1+ r.^a );
    out1 = int(fun1, x, Inf) ; %== This is my F in my example

  q=pi.*(la1.*p1.^(2./a)+la2.*p2.^(2./a));

  yi = @(u2,u1) exp(-u2.*(1+2.*...
        ( out1  )./...      %=== out1 is the problem here. 
        (  (( (u2./u1).^(a./2) + 1    ).^(2./a)).*seta.^(-2./a)))).*...
                  exp(-sgma2.*q.^(-a./2).* seta.*u2.^(a./2)./...
          ((( (u2./u1).^(a./2) + 1    ).^(2./a)).^(a./2))  ); 

  maxF =@(u2) u2;
  out2 = integral2(yi,0,Inf,0 ,maxF) % == this is Y in my previous example. 

However, since I know the out1 = pi/4 - atan(10*(u2^2/u1^2 + 1)^(1/2))/2 (no dot,1/2, not 1./2). Instead of writing down out1, I will just type the equaction and add dot in the

  yi = @(u2,u1) exp(-u2.*(1+2.*...
          (  pi./4 - atan(10.*(u2.^2./u1.^2 + 1).^(1./2))./2     )./...   %=== not "out1"
          (  (( (u2./u1).^(a./2) + 1    ).^(2./a)).*seta.^(-2./a)))).*...
                    exp(-sgma2.*q.^(-a./2).* seta.*u2.^(a./2)./...
            ((( (u2./u1).^(a./2) + 1    ).^(2./a)).^(a./2))  );    

Now the code is working!!!! The final output is = 0.9957. Dear friends, I already spend a long time on this, but I still can not find out the problem. Could you please take a deeper look for me. Please copy the code to you matlab and test. Thank you so much.

Below is the error given by matlab, if I just use "out1" in yi = @(u2,u1) ......

Solution

  • The documentation of the function integral2 states:

    integral2 - Numerically evaluate double integral

    You won't be able to use integral2 with symbolic expressions, unless you convert them to function handles using matlabfunction.
