Series summation issue - conversion to double error

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi, I'm trying to write a series summation code and I'm getting the "conversion to double" error when I plot.
Here's the part of the code with trouble:
syms m
rhs = (1./(1+(2.*(t- m.*p))./tc)).* exp((-2.*r^2)./(r^2.*(1+ (2.*(t-m.*p)./tc))));
summation1 = symsum(rhs,0,1.89E5);
Where tc, r, and p are constants and t is a timespace with 36 spaces.
Is the problem that I'm asking it to sum from 0 to 1.89e5 with those 36 time spaces?
Thanks

At some point, Matlab gives up & returns the indefinite summation. You can try this:
clc;clear
syms m
tc = 3;
p = 3;
t = 1:10;
r =2;
rhs = (1./(1+(2.*(t- m.*p))./tc)).* exp((-2.*r^2)./(r^2.*(1+ (2.*(t-m.*p)./tc))));
summation1 = symsum(rhs);
f = matlabFunction(summation1);
f(189000)
f(10)
ans =
1.0e-005 *
Columns 1 through 8
-0.2646 -0.2646 -0.2646 -0.2646 -0.2646 -0.2646 -0.2646 -0.2646
Columns 9 through 10
-0.2646 -0.2646
ans =
Columns 1 through 8
-0.0608 -0.0634 -0.0662 -0.0692 -0.0725 -0.0762 -0.0802 -0.0847
Columns 9 through 10
-0.0897 -0.0954

Thank you, this will work for now while I have a dozen or so points, but it gets quite complex when I want to extend my time.
Many thanks!

You could try
double(summation1)
If that gives you the same error then your summation1 must still contain some symbolic variable. Try
symvar(summation1)

I get the same error when using both
Conversion to double from sym is not possible.
I had read about converting that symbolic variable and figured that could be the issue but I used the
subs(summation1, 'new array to replace "m" ' )
and that seemed to accept it, now it's about fixing my values
EDIT: False alarm - it just makes the variable a single value.
