Operations with function handle in matlab
Could you please help me with the following issue: I have the following function handle:
r1 = @(lambda) b + lambda*(r - b); % r and b are vectors of return data
I want to find the optimal lambdas that set me a mean function to zero, for a given set…

Solving an inequality with Matlab
I have to solve an inequality but it is too hard to do it by hand. Therefore, I would like to use Matlab. Let a = [(k-3)*sqrt(v)]/s and b = 1.08148*a^2-epsilon, where epsilon = 10^(-6). The inequality that needs to be solved is:
q(a,b) <…

Using Fsolve to solve N-1 equations in N-1 unknowns
I've been looking around but I can't seem to figure out how I should use fsolve to solve my system of nonlinear equations.
so I have a function k, and I know that I want .01 as the starting value (required input for fsolve I believe). I also know…

Matlab solving geometric sum numerically
let's suppose I have geometric sum (a<1) of the form:
x + a*x + a^2*x + ... a^T*x = Y
where I know Y and a and I want to solve for an x on the LHS that matches the RHS Y. If my actual problem was that simple, I could calculate the LHS analytically…

How to call numerical results to integrate a ODE using Runge-Kutta-4 in Python 3?
I'm trying to solve (for m_0) numerically the following ordinary differential equation:
dm0/dx=(((1-x)*(x*(2-x))**(1.5))/(k+x)**2)*(((x*(2-x))/3.0)*(dw/dx)**2 + ((8*(k+1))/(3*(k+x)))*w**2)
The values of w and dw/dx have been found already…
