MATLAB: ODE function – plot not as desired

codeequationodeplot

The above equations give me the plot shown And I am attaching the code for the same;
% Constants
beta=5;
alfa = 2.*beta/(beta+1);
tau1=4.4;
tau2=5;
Tc=1.24;
gamma=alfa.*(2-exp(-tau1));
% Time frames
t1=0:0.01:tau1;
t11 = tau1:0.01:8;
t2 = tau1:0.01:tau2;
t22 = tau2:0.01:8;
t3 = tau2:0.01:8;
% Part A
EeA = @(t) -alfa .*exp(-t./Tc) + alfa;
EeA1 = EeA(t1);
EeA2 = EeA(t11);
plot(t1,EeA1,'-b',t11,EeA2,'--c','lineWidth',2)
hold on
Ee1 = EeA(tau1);
scatter(tau1,Ee1,'ro','lineWidth',2,'MarkerFaceColor','r')
% Part B
EeB = @(t) gamma.*exp(-((t-tau1)./Tc)) -alfa;
EeB1 = EeB(t2);
EeB2 = EeB(t22);
plot(t2, EeB1,'-b',t22, EeB2,'--c','lineWidth',2)
Ee2 = EeB(tau2);
scatter(tau2,Ee2,'ro','lineWidth',2,'MarkerFaceColor','r')
% Part C
EeC = @(t) Ee2.*exp(-((t3-tau2)./Tc));
EeC1 = EeC(t3);
plot(t3, EeC1,'-b','lineWidth',2)
hold off
xlabel('t');
ylabel('E_e');
xticklabels({'0', '4.4', '5'})
xticks([ 0 4.4 5])
xticklabels({'0', '4.4', '5'})
xticklabels({'0', 't1', 't2'})
Now if I wish to use 'ode function' ; how to achieve the same output i.e. plot ? Do I need to use 'anti derivative' of these equations ? Objective is to get the same plot; maybe im understanding ode wrong – and the answer is simple . Any examples or reference would be appreicated 🙂 thanks 🙂

How are you trying to use odefunction? Or why?
it is for converting symbolic expressions to function handles for ODE solvers. To be used in an ODE solver, your equations need to be differential equations. Yours are not.
