MATLAB: Derivative of a function of two variables

derivationsymbolic toolbox

Hello,

How can I get such a derivative in Matlab-Symbolic Toolbox ?

Differentiation according to two variables q1 and q2.

y=L1*cos(q1)+L2*cos(q2)
y´=-L1*sin(q1)-L2*cos(q2)

There is only this alternative?

z´=diff(y,q1)+diff(y,q2)

Thank you very much

To get a numerical difference (symmetric difference), you calculate (f(x+dx)-f(x-dx))/(2*dx)

or "gradient", "polyder" (calculates the derivative of a polynomial) functions. Also a function "derivest" could also give numerical differentiation.

You just need to tell simplify to keep simplifying:

DetJa = simplify(detJa, 'Steps',500)

producing:

DetJa = 
l3*l4*sin(q3)*(l4*cos(q2 + q3) + l3*cos(q2))
