Sigma notation with matrices

10 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am trying to model a differential equation including , where C is a 4 by 4 matrix, i are rows, and j are vectors. The sigma notation is crucial towards using the interaction coefficient with the proper elements in the matrix. I don't at all know what I'm doing, and have been using symsum so far but have gotten absolutely nowhere. How do I code this without getting "Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals errors"?

Taking a wild guess:
x = rand(1,4); % Create Vector
C = rand(4); % Create Matrix
for i = 1:4
for j = 1:4
E(i,j) = C(i,j)*x(i)*x(j); % Multiplications
end
end
S = sum(E(:)); % Summation
There are likely more efficient ways to do this, however I am choosing to keep this as transparent as possible. Note that symsum is not intended to do this type of summation.

Thanks so much! Even though this may not work perfectly, it's an improvement over brute-force typing out all possible permuatations.
