MATLAB: Strcat two char arrays, how to remove the space

charMATLABstrcat

I have two char arrays a and b, say

a is a 5*14 char

var =

NKY 08/12/11 C
NKY 08/12/11 C
NKY 08/12/11 C
NKY 08/12/11 C
NKY 08/12/11 C

b is a 5*5 char

val =

If I do strcat(a,b) or [a,b], it gives me

val =

NKY 08/12/11 C 5900
NKY 08/12/11 C 5905
NKY 08/12/11 C 5910
NKY 08/12/11 C 5915
NKY 08/12/11 C 5920

but I need

val =

NKY 08/12/11 C5900
NKY 08/12/11 C5905
NKY 08/12/11 C5910
NKY 08/12/11 C5915
NKY 08/12/11 C5920

Could anyone tell me how to do that? Very appreciated!

val(:,15) = [];  %just delete that column

MATLAB: How to solve this Matrix Equation

The solution is definitely not unique.

Let the two result matrices be [rab11,0;0,rab22] and [rcd11;0;0;rcd22]

Set rcd22 to any non-zero non-infinite value. Then, except for possible singularities,

rab11 = rcd22*(((c12*c21*d12*d21-c11*c22*d11*d22)*b11+b21*d12*d11*(c11*c22-c12*c21))*a12+a11*b11*c12*c22*(d11*d22-d12*d21))*(a11*a22-a12*a21)*(b11*b22-b12*b21)/((((d12*c21*b22*a22-b12*a21*d22*c22)*b11+d12*b12*b21*(-c21*a22+a21*c22))*a12+a11*a22*b11*c22*(-d12*b22+b12*d22))*(c11*c22-c12*c21)*(d11*d22-d12*d21))

rab22 = -rcd22*(((c12*c21*d12*d21-c11*c22*d11*d22)*b12+b22*d12*d11*(c11*c22-c12*c21))*a22+a21*b12*c12*c22*(d11*d22-d12*d21))*(a11*a22-a12*a21)*(b11*b22-b12*b21)/((((b11*d22*c22*a11-d12*c21*a12*b21)*b12-d12*b11*b22*(c22*a11-a12*c21))*a22-a12*a21*c22*b12*(b11*d22-b21*d12))*(c11*c22-c12*c21)*(d11*d22-d12*d21))

rcd11 = -rcd22*((d11*c11*(b11*b22-b12*b21)*a22-a21*c12*b12*(b11*d21-b21*d11))*a12+a11*a22*b11*c12*(b12*d21-d11*b22))/((c21*d12*(b11*b22-b12*b21)*a22-a21*c22*b12*(b11*d22-b21*d12))*a12+a11*a22*b11*c22*(-d12*b22+b12*d22))

You can see in this that rcd22 acts as an arbitrary scale factor for the other coefficients.

The X matrix then becomes

X(1,1) = (b22*a22*rcd22*(((c12*c21*d12*d21-c11*c22*d11*d22)*b11+b21*d12*d11*(c11*c22-c12*c21))*a12+a11*b11*c12*c22*(d11*d22-d12*d21))*(a11*a22-a12*a21)*(b11*b22-b12*b21)/((((d12*c21*b22*a22-b12*a21*d22*c22)*b11+d12*b12*b21*(-c21*a22+a21*c22))*a12+a11*a22*b11*c22*(-d12*b22+b12*d22))*(c11*c22-c12*c21)*(d11*d22-d12*d21))-b22*a12*rab21-b21*a22*rab12-b21*a12*rcd22*(((c12*c21*d12*d21-c11*c22*d11*d22)*b12+b22*d12*d11*(c11*c22-c12*c21))*a22+a21*b12*c12*c22*(d11*d22-d12*d21))*(a11*a22-a12*a21)*(b11*b22-b12*b21)/((((b11*d22*c22*a11-d12*c21*a12*b21)*b12-d12*b11*b22*(c22*a11-a12*c21))*a22-a12*a21*c22*b12*(b11*d22-b21*d12))*(c11*c22-c12*c21)*(d11*d22-d12*d21)))/((a11*a22-a12*a21)*(b11*b22-b12*b21))

This was calculated using straight-forward linear algebra by multiplying appropriate inverses on both sides to get two isolated X equations, and then solve()'ing for the corresponding components to be the same.
