If I have the following symbolic function:
syms f(x,y)
f(x,y) = 2*x^2 + y;
When I try to diff. this function w.r.t. (x) I get:
d = diff(f,x)
d(x, y) =
4*x
Which is a function in both x, and y NOT in (x) only.
How can I perform this and get the real exsisting function input only "i.e. (x) only here"?

That is the corrct result, since diff is taking the partial derivative with respect to ‘x’ only, and ‘y’ is considered a constant.
To get the derivatives of ‘f’ with respect to both variables, use the jacobian function:
jf = jacobian(f)
producing:
jf(x, y) =
[4*x, 1]

Hi Ammar,
Without explicitly defining the differentiation variable, "diff" uses the default variable, which is "x" in your case.
To get both derivatives, you can do
[diff(f(x,y),x) diff(f(x,y),y)]
And this should give you the correct result.
Please refer to this document: Differentiate symbolic expression or function - MATLAB diff (mathworks.com)
Thanks.
