inv Matrix must be square
显示 更早的评论
how to invert alpha in the following relation.so if alpha values are from 3 to 11 with 50 steps (size of alpha is "1x50"), how can do the following:
r=log(0.001)./(-inv(alpha));
I got the following error: Error using ==> inv Matrix must be square.

It is not clear what operation you're trying to achieve. Since alpha is not square, inv(alpha) is indeed undefined.

Naema, what do you mean by inverse? If you want the element wise inverse such as
1/alpha_ij
then you would use
r=log(0.001)./(-(alpha.^(-1));
If you want alpha flipped, as in you defined alpha as linspace(3,11,50) but actually want linspace(11,3,50) then you can use the fliplr function like this:
r=log(0.001)./(-fliplr(alpha))
If you want the matrix inverse of alpha, well that's impossible to actually find (you can do some funny things with pseudo inverses but they're not real inverses).
Hope one of these is what you are looking for.

I am not sure how that could happen because there is not any multiplication. In addition, the following code works just fine on my machine:
alpha=linspace(3,11,50);
r=log(0.001)./(-fliplr(alpha));
can you copy and paste the output from:
whos alpha
and then maybe we can figure out what is going on.

try
l10=log(0.001)./(-fliplr(alpha).*(2*pi()/lambda));
that really shouldn't change anything unless you somehow have made pi a matrix. I can't really confirm anything else since I don't have your .mat files. If you still can't get it you could upload these and then I could trouble shoot more. Another option would be to write the command:
dbstop if error
in the command line in matlab and then try to run your code. When you encounter the error you should have access to all of the variables that MATLAB at that time. At that point if you enter :
whos
into the MATLAB command line and post the output I might be able to help you some but again the easiest way would be to just attach the mat files to a comment.

Hey, so the issue is in the r10 line.
you need to add dots to make it
r10=(1-exp(-fliplr(alpha)*(2*pi())/1310e-9).*l10).*a;
However you still have a problem because the data you have is generating INF values from this code because the exponents are too large. Unfortunately that's not something I can help you with. You probably have a typo in your code or have misinterpreted an equation, so you'll have to check that out.
Sorry for the late response. I got sidetracked by somehting.
