I'm getting a matrix as output when I'm expecting a vector

I'm trying to calculate the abscisses and weight values for the Newton-Cotes method. In the end I use a linsolve() expecting to get a vector as output but instead I get a matrix. Any ideas what I could have done wrong?
a = 0;
b = 1;
n = 20;
[x,H] = NewtonCotes(a,b,n)

Hi @Arthur Bergé,
What inputs are you passing to your function?
I have tried to use some dummy inputs using your function and it was returning a vector instead of a matrix.

I is an (n+1)x(n+1) matrix in the code. So H will always be a (n+1)x(n+1) matrix, not a vector.

Maybe you mean
I = ones(n+1,1);
instead of
I = ones(n+1);

Hello Arthur,
You can get a matrix as output while using linsolve to solve the linear systems of equation.
The function returns a vector or matrix that satisfies AX=B. The size of X depends on whether "opts.TRANSA" = true:
  • If A is m-by-n and B is m-by-k, then X is n-by-k and is the solution to AX = B.
  • If "opts.TRANSA" = true, then A is m-by-n and B is m-by-k. In this case, X is m-by-k and is the solution to A'X = B.
Here, "TRANSA" is Conjugate transpose which specifies whether the function solves A*X = B (when opts.TRANSA = false) or the transposed problem A'*X = B (when opts.TRANSA = true).
Please refer to the following documentation link for more information:
Output type for Linsolve: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/linsolve.html?searchHighlight=linsolve%20output%20matrix&s_tid=srchtitle_support_results_1_linsolve%20output%20matrix#mw_7666b08b-4d6b-4175-8f3b-c0c979bd9c6d.
I hope it resolves your query.
