Hello

I have a function called RKS which accepts 2 values T and P and gives me a value S. In the main script it looks like this:

S=RKS(T,P);

If I have S and P and I am trying to find T how can I do it using the matlab solver. I was told that I could do it this way without having to modify the RKS function itself but I have not study how to use the solver in matlab and can't figure it out. I keep getting errors. Also if there is any other way of getting T I am open to subjection.

Thanks You.

在 MATLAB Online 中打开

Here is one possibility:

RKS = @(T,P) P.^-T;
P = 5;
S = RKS(3,P);
T = fzero(@(T) RKS(T,P)-S, 1);

What is the 3 in

S = RKS(3,P);

suppose to be? A random guess?.

Yes.

Both the ‘3’ and the ‘RKS’ function are random guesses. The point is to illustrate an approach to recovering ‘T’.

This assumes that the function S(P,T) is one-to-one. If the function is a power of ‘T’, periodic in ‘T’, or something else, the solution would not necessarily be unique.
