Solving symbolic linear equations in Python gives unexpected answer
First of all please excuse the long wall of test coming up. I need to solve the following set of equations which arise from a coordinate transformation:
Given v_n, v_m, x_p, z_p, y_p, s, d, solve the system below for v_yp, v_zp:
I: v_n = v_yp *…

solve linear equation system based on matrix ("Matrix dimension must agree")
I have a given matrix of size NxN (called M),a vector of Nx1 (called V), and two scalars (called a and b). I want to solve the linear system of equations for alpha. The dimensions are given as MATLAB reports them using the function size(-).
(M + a…

Improve performance of code to solve equation
I am quite novice to MATLAB and I am struggling to find a solution to this equation.
Where the matrices' dimensions are {λ} = N×K, {Y} = N×D, {π} = 1×K, and {μ} = D×K.
What I have created looks more like a monstrosity than an efficient MATLAB…

How can I get all solutions to this equation in MATLAB?
I would like to solve the following equation: tan(x) = 1/x
What I did:
syms x
eq = tan(x) == 1/x;
sol = solve(eq,x)
But this gives me only one numerical approximation of the solution. After that I read about the following:
[sol, params, conds] =…

Is the first step of this Gauss-elimination pseudocode correct?
Does first step in algorithm should look like following?
// find the element with largest absolute value in col p and below row p-1
So instead of all col p just part of it.
Algorithm:
for p = 1 to n do
// find the element with largest…

How can I find an explicit solution to this equation?
In the field in which I work there's a kind of score called a SEDI:
I've been asked to solve this equation for F. I've been informed by a generally reliable source that there should be an analytic solution. Generally I use MATLAB for such problems,…

System of equations with unknowns in R
I have a 3x3 matrix Omega whose elements are unknown, and a defined 3x1 parameter vector alpha. I want to define a 3x1 vector delta whose elements are still unknown but depend on alpha and Omega as shown in this image:
The term in the brackets to…

Different results, using same data and method(?), when using WordMat and R
I am interested to reproduce results calculated by the GNU plugin to MS Word WordMat in R, but I can't get them to arrive at similar results (I am not looking for identical, but simply similar).
I have some y and x values and a power function, y =…

Using fzero in Matlab or Octave, avoiding for loop and complex solutions
I'm using fzero function to solve a non-linear equation depending on one parameter
and I'm not satisfied with my method. I have these issues:
1) Can for loop for the parameter be avoided ?
2) In order to avoid complex solutions I first have to…

Simpler way to find solution of equation
I have following equation:
f(N): N = ((1+lam)^3 )/ ((1-lam)*(1+lam^2));
I need to create a function that finds lam for specified N.
Right now I'm doing it using simple loop:
lam = 0.9999;
n = f(lam);
pow = 0;
delta = 0.1;
while(abs(N - n)) > 0.1 &…
