MATLAB: Sum function

functionMATLABseriessum

Hello Experts,

Consider I have to sum from i=1 to 2^(n-1) (n is given) values of some function f(i).

How can I do it like series in math sum from i=1 to 2^(n-1) of f(i)…

Thanks a lot in advance.

n=given;

i=1:2^(n-1); %gives you array of integers from 1,2,...2^(n-1)

% let's say your function is f=2i;

f=2*i;

yoursum=sum(f);

MATLAB: Can anyone convert this Pseudocode into Matlab

Looks like Fortran (and assuming f is an array and f_i etc are indexing into the f array). So maybe something like this, with some variable names changed so they don't clash with MATLAB functions. Put this in a file with the name Simp13m.m

function result = Simp13m (h, n, f)
result = f(1); % <-- MATLAB array indexing starts at 1
for i=2:2:n-2  % <-- Bump up the starting index for this loop per comment above
    result = result + 4 * f(i) + 2 * f(i+1);
end
result = result + 4 * f(n-1) + f(n);
result = h * result / 3;
end

MATLAB: Index exceeds the number of array elements at y2 for the finite difference formulas

In this line

y2(i) = (f(i+2) - 2*f(i+1) + f(i))/(deltaX.^2);

index of f is i+2, therefore, i should not go above n. Change the range of the for loop like this

for i = 1:n-2 % change this range
    %forward difference - first and second derivative
    y(i) = (f(i+1)- f(i))/deltaX;
    y2(i) = (f(i+2) - 2*f(i+1) + f(i))/(deltaX.^2); 
end

Similarly in the line

y4(i) = (f(i) -- 2*f(i-1) + f(i-2))/(deltaX.^2);

index of f is i-2, so i should not go below 3

for i = 3:n
    %backward difference - first and second derivative 
    y3(i) = (f(i)- f(i-1))/deltaX;
    y4(i) = (f(i) -- 2*f(i-1) + f(i-2))/(deltaX.^2);
end
