MATLAB: Unable to perform assignment because the indices on the left side are not compatible with the size of the right side.

Hello everyone, can you please help me with this problem? I currently in my project's for Iterative Method. But I can't run the coding because of this problem.
costI(:,i)=alpha+(beta.*P)+(gamma.*P.*P);
Attached below is my full coding, can you guys help me?

Best Answer

This problem occurs when you try to save more number of elements than it is intialized for. This line:
costI(:,i)=alpha+(beta.*P)+(gamma.*P.*P);
Check the dimensions/ size of RHS and do the intialization properly.
Demo:
A = zeros(3,3) ;   % A should be 3X3 matrix 
A(:,1)  = rand(1,3) ;   % no error as you are saving three elements 
A(:,2) = rand(1,4) ;   % error as you are saving more number of elements.
