MATLAB: Anonymous function in ode45: column vector error

ode45

To solve ODE below with matlab

t = 0:.01:20;
x0 = [0 0]';
xdot = @(t,x) [0 1; 0 0] * x;
ode45(@(t,x) xdot(x(1), x(2)),t,x0)

I get this error:

Error using odearguments (line 91) @(T,X)XDOT(X(1),X(2)) must return a column vector.

Cloud anyone help me to solve solve 2nd order ODEs using only anonymous function definition?

You are not calling ‘xdot’ correctly in your ode45 call.

Try this:

t = 0:.01:20;
x0 = [0 0]' + eps;
xdot = @(t,x) [0 1; 0 0] * x;
[T,X] = ode45(xdot,t,x0)
figure
plot(T, X)
grid

Also, the result is uniformly zero, so to prevent that, I added eps to ‘x0’.

MATLAB: Integrate for a specific period of time

t=0:.01:10;
x = zeros(numel(t));
x(1) = 1;
fun_xdot = @(t,x) -2*(x^3) + sin(0.5*t)*x;
for i = 1:numel(t)-1
    x(i+1) = x(i) + (t(i+1)-t(i))*fun_xdot(t(i),x(i));  
end
plot(t,x)

for n = 1:numel(x0)
