You haven't supplied your tridiagonal function, so it's not possible to check.

Matthew Williams 2020-12-14

Here is the tridiagonal function that I used in my code formulation

function x = tridiagonal(diag,lower,upper,rhs)

% tridiagonal: solves a tridiagonal matrix.

%

% Synopsis: x = tridiagonal(diag,lower,upper,rhs)

%

% Input: diag = diagonal vector of length N

% lower = lower diagonal vector of length N-1

% upper = upper diagonal vector of length N-1

% rhs = right hand side vector of length N

%

% Output: x = solution vector of length N

%

% --- determine the number of equations

N = length(diag);

% --- eliminate the lower diagonal

for i = 2:N

factor = lower(i-1)/diag(i-1);

diag(i) = diag(i)-upper(i-1)*factor;

rhs(i) = rhs(i)-rhs(i-1)*factor;

end

% --- back substitute

x(N) = rhs(N)/diag(N);

for i = N-1:-1:1

x(i) = ( rhs(i)-upper(i)*x(i+1) ) / diag(i);

end

You should probably define

Tn=Tinf*ones(N,M);

and then set

Tn1(:,i)=tridiagonal(b,a,c,d)';

However, there are other problems after that (the code works, but the results seem to be nonsense!).
