Students often have a difficult time understanding what convolution is. Students can often evaluate the convolution integral (continuous time case), convolution sum (discrete-time case), or perform graphical convolution but may not have a good grasp of what is happening. In other words, students can solve the formula but often do not understand the result or why they get that result. Most engin...

The Third Edition of the MATLAB Primer is based on version 4.0/4.1 of MATLAB. While this edition reflects an extensive general revision of the Second Edition, most significant is the new information to help one begin to use the major new features of version 4.0/4.1, the sparse matrix and enhanced graphics capabilities. You are advised to download anew each term the latest printing of the Primer...

MATLAB® is a popular tool for the engineers in the electrical and electronic fields. ACMs can also be modelled in MATLAB® in order to investigate the applications in control system. An approach of converting a Petri net model into a Simulink model is studied. As an example, a Signal ACM model is created in Simulink with Stateflow. The simulation results show that the model maintains all the req...

MATLAB® has emerged as one of the languages most commonly used by scientists and engineers for technical computing, with approximately one million users worldwide. The primary benefits of MATLAB are reduced code development time via high levels of abstractions (e.g. first class multi-dimensional arrays and thousands of built in functions), interpretive, interactive programming, and powerful mat...

The main purpose of the present investigation is to propose a new, modified Joglekar’s memristor model and to compare it with the Pickett model using several different window functions. The appropriate value of the exponent in the Joglekar’s window function is determined to approach the new model to the Pickett’s memristor model, which is based on practical experiments and measurements. The new...

This book is for people who need to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs), both initial value problems (IVPs) and boundary value problems (BVPs) as well as delay differential equations (DDEs). These topics are usually taught in separate courses of length one semester each, but Solving ODEs with MATLAB provides a sound treatment of all three in about 250 pages. The chapters on each of the...

Type of variables x and y can be any allowable type. If we are supposed to compile this function statically, we may have to choose the widest possible type for x and y. This type is an array of complex numbers. The result would be very inefficient code when parameters are of narrower type (e.g. Integers or even arrays of integers). In these cases they are actually wrapped as arrays of complex n...
