Looping over Only the Real Positive Roots

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
In my model, I am searching for a value of one variable, let's call it a, over an interval. To find the best value of this variable, I need to find the five roots of another variable, let's call it b, and search over each of the positive real roots.
When only one of the roots is real, the process is simple. My issue is that I don't know how to only select the positive roots of b and loop through each of those only.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

RB = roots(b);
PRR = RB( imag(RB) == 0 & real(RB) > 0 );

Thank you for the help. Now I have another issue in that sometimes the PRR matrix is empty - no positive real roots. When this happens, I'd like to include an if loop that will set a variable equal to something, but I don't know how to reference the empty set. Any ideas?
