Linear Signals and System, matrix operation fundamentals. This example illustrates a techniques called vectorization. Algorithm vectorization uses matrix and vector operations to avoid manual repetition and loop structures. With simultaneous creation of curves one can maximize the use of matrix applications. 

The result here is a 201 x 11 matrix with identical columns.

r = [1 0 0] 

A = [2 3;4 5;0 6] 

c = r' B = [c A] 

B(1,2) 

B(1:2,2:3) 

B(2,:) 

A = [1 -2 3;-sqrt(3) 1 -sqrt(5);3 -sqrt(7) 1]; 

y = [1;pi;exp(1)]; 

x = inv(A)*y x1 = det([y,A(:,2:3)])/det(A) alpha = (0:10); 

t = (0:0.001:0.2)'; 

T = t*ones(1,11); 

H = exp(-T*diag(alpha)).*sin(2*pi*10*T+pi/6); 

plot(t,H); xlabel('t'); ylabel('h(t)'); 

[R,P,K] = residue(B,A) 

[R,P,K] = residue([1 0 0 0 0 pi],[1 -sqrt(8) 0 sqrt(32) -4]);
