How to evaluate a unknown variable?

4 visualizzazioni (ultimi 30 giorni)
I am trying to evaluate a specific variable, i.e., lambda from the following expression:
alpha=0.9;
g=[3, 2, 1];
N=10;
P=5;
sum(( lambda*(2-alpha)-sqrt(lambda*alpha*(lambda*alpha+g.*4*(1-alpha))) ) ./ ( g.*2*lambda*(alpha-1) )) = N*P
Which function shall I use to find the value of lambda that satisfies the equality above, since it is the only unknown variable?

You could use fzero if your equation made sense. On the left side of your equation you have a 3 element vector (with 3 different values obviously). On the right hand side you have a scalar.

Using fsolve:
alpha=0.9;
g=[3, 2, 1];
N=10;
P=5;
f = @(lambda) sum(( lambda*(2-alpha)-sqrt(lambda*alpha*(lambda*alpha+g.*4*(1-alpha))) ) ...
./ ( g.*2*lambda*(alpha-1) )) - N*P;
lambda0 = 1;
options = optimoptions('fsolve','Display','iter','Algorithm','levenberg-marquardt');
lambda = fsolve(f, lambda0, options);
