appending element to vector
显示 更早的评论
Hello Im a diff function to estimate a derivative(du/dx), however I lose an element as excepted, now I want to add the average value of the derivative to the end of vector (du/dx) such that is the same length as u. Thanks

That doesn't sound very sensible as you're mixing two different entities into a single variable, but if that's what you want to do:
x = sin(linspace(0, pi, 100)); %for example
d = diff(x);
dwithmean = [d mean(d)]

Why do they have to have the same number of elements?

As Guillaume has mentioned, that's not the usual way to go. Assume you want to plot the data (which requires equally sized arrays), these are the common options:
x=linspace(0,100);
y=x.^2;
dydx=diff(y)./diff(x);
figure, hold all
%best way: shift the x by half dx
x2=x(1:end-1)+diff(x)/2;
plot(x2,dydx)
%lazy way: just use n-1 x values
plot(x(1:end-1),dydx)
%semi-lazy way: add nan (will not be plotted)
dydx=[diff(y)./diff(x) nan];
plot(x,dydx)
When you run these lines, you see a shift between the blue line (which is technically correct) and the red/green lines (overlaying).
