It's not that Matlab doesn't know what i is, assuming it's not defined by the user. It's that i takes on the value of the imaginary unit when not otherwise defined.

>> clear
>> i
ans =
            0 +          1i

If this is the complete script, the error is caused in this line where i is not defined and therefore takes the default value of the imaginary unit which is not a positive integer nor a logical value.

A(i)= 1; %conc. at initial

If this is not where the error is generated, provide the entire error message and indicate which line causes the error.
