Hi. Im trying to find determinant of A. But I got this type of error. How to solve this and why do I get this error?
This is my code:
function ret = detA(Ra)
global k
q0= 1i.*k.*(-1+(Ra./k^4)^(1/3))^(1/2);
q1= k.*(1+(Ra./k^4)^(1/3).*(1/2+1i*sqrt(3)/2))^(1/2);
q2= k.*(1+(Ra./k^4)^(1/3).*(1/2-1i*sqrt(3)/2))^(1/2);
A=[1 1 1 1 1 1;
exp(q0) exp(-q0) exp(q1) exp(-q1) exp(q2) exp(-q2);
q0 -q0 q1 -q1 q2 -q2;
q0.*exp(q0) -q0.*exp(-q0) q1.*exp(q1) -q1.*exp(-q1) q2.*exp(q2) -q2.*exp(-q2);
(q0.^2-k.^2).^2 (q0^2-k^2).^2 (q1^2-k^2).^2 (q1^2-k^2).^2 (q2^2-k^2)^2 (q2^2-k^2)^2;
(q0.^2-k.^2).^2.*exp(q0) (q0^2-k^2).^2.*exp(-q0) (q1^2-k^2).^2.*exp(q1) (q1^2-k^2).^2.*exp(-q1) (q2^2-k^2).^2.*exp(q2) (q2^2-k^2).^2.*exp(-q2)];
ret=det(A);
end
And i got this error:
Error using det
Matrix must be square.
Error in detA (line 14)
ret=det(A);
Try Ra=1708.

You should note that determinant exists for a square matrix only. For rectangular matrices, vectors you cannot find determinant. In your case when Ra = 1708..your A is a vector of size 1x6. So determinant does not exist for this..so error.

You did not initialize the global variable k. Uninitialized global variables are empty. Your q are calculated from k so they are empty.
