Helped a high school student for a physics problem with this.

A high school student called for help with this physics problem:

Car A moves with constant velocity v.
Car B starts to move when Car A passes through the point P.
Car B undergoes...
uniform acc. motion from P to Q.
uniform velocity motion from Q to R.
uniform acc. motion from R to S.
Car A and B pass through the point R simultaneously.
Car A and B arrive at the point S simultaneously.

Q1. When car A passes the point Q, which is moving faster?

Q2. Solve the time duration for car B to move from P to Q using L and v.

Q3. Magnitude of acc. of car B from P to Q, and from R to S: which is bigger?

Well, it can be solved with a series of tedious equations. But... how about this?

Alpha Vantage: Easy tutorial on how to get data into Matlab from Alpha Vantage

From Alpha Vantage's website: API Documentation | Alpha Vantage

Try using the built-in Matlab function webread(URL)... for example:

% copy a URL from the examples on the site
URL = 'https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=IBM&apikey=demo'
% or use the pattern to create one
tickers = [{'IBM'} {'SPY'} {'DJI'} {'QQQ'}]; i = 1;
URL = ...
['https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY_ADJUSTED&outputsize=full&symbol=', ...
        + tickers{i}, ...
        + '&apikey=***Put Your API Key here***'];
X = webread(URL);

You can access any of the data available on the site as per the Alpha Vantage documentation using these two lines of code but with different designations for the requested data as per the documentation.

It's fun!

Which toolboxes for crypto trading?

Hi to all.

I'm trying to learn a bit about trading with cryptovalues. At the moment I'm using Freqtrade (in dry-run mode of course) for automatic trading. The tool is written in python and it allows to create custom strategies in python classes and then run them.

I've written some strategy just to learn how to do, but now I'd like to create some interesting algorithm. I've a matlab license, and I'd like to know what are suggested tollboxes for following work:

Create a criptocurrency strategy algorythm (for buying and selling some crypto like BTC, ETH etc).
Backtesting the strategy with historical data (I've a bunch of json files with different timeframes, downloaded with freqtrade from binance).
Optimize the strategy given some parameters (they can be numeric, like ROI, some kind of enumeration, like "selltype" and so on).
Convert the strategy algorithm in python, so I can use it with Freqtrade without worrying of manually copying formulas and parameters that's error prone.
I'd like to write both classic algorithm and some deep neural one, that try to find best strategy with little neural network (they should run on my pc with 32gb of ram and a 3080RTX if it can be gpu accelerated).

What do you suggest?

Dynamic Simulation of DNA Base Pair Displacements with Non-linearity and Damping Effects

The study of the dynamics of the discrete Klein - Gordon equation (DKG) with friction is given by the equation :

above equation, W describes the potential function :

The objective of this simulation is to model the dynamics of a segment of DNA under thermal fluctuations with fixed boundaries using a modified discrete Klein-Gordon equation. The model incorporates elasticity, nonlinearity, and damping to provide insights into the mechanical behavior of DNA under various conditions.

% Parameters
numBases = 200; % Number of base pairs, representing a segment of DNA
kappa = 0.1; % Elasticity constant
omegaD = 0.2; % Frequency term
beta = 0.05; % Nonlinearity coefficient
delta = 0.01; % Damping coefficient

Position: Random initial perturbations between 0.01 and 0.02 to simulate the thermal fluctuations at the start.
Velocity: All bases start from rest, assuming no initial movement except for the thermal perturbations.

% Random initial perturbations to simulate thermal fluctuations
initialPositions = 0.01 + (0.02-0.01).*rand(numBases,1);
initialVelocities = zeros(numBases,1); % Assuming initial rest state

The simulation uses fixed ends to model the DNA segment being anchored at both ends, which is typical in experimental setups for studying DNA mechanics. The equations of motion for each base are derived from a modified discrete Klein-Gordon equation with the inclusion of damping:

% Define the differential equations
dt = 0.05; % Time step
tmax = 50; % Maximum time
tspan = 0:dt:tmax; % Time vector
x = zeros(numBases, length(tspan)); % Displacement matrix
x(:,1) = initialPositions; % Initial positions
% Velocity-Verlet algorithm for numerical integration
for i = 2:length(tspan)
    % Compute acceleration for internal bases
    acceleration = zeros(numBases,1);
    for n = 2:numBases-1
        acceleration(n) = kappa * (x(n+1, i-1) - 2 * x(n, i-1) + x(n-1, i-1)) ...
            - delta * initialVelocities(n) - omegaD^2 * (x(n, i-1) - beta * x(n, i-1)^3);
    end
    % positions for internal bases
    x(2:numBases-1, i) = x(2:numBases-1, i-1) + dt * initialVelocities(2:numBases-1) ...
        + 0.5 * dt^2 * acceleration(2:numBases-1);
    % velocities using new accelerations
    newAcceleration = zeros(numBases,1);
    for n = 2:numBases-1
        newAcceleration(n) = kappa * (x(n+1, i) - 2 * x(n, i) + x(n-1, i)) ...
            - delta * initialVelocities(n) - omegaD^2 * (x(n, i) - beta * x(n, i)^3);
    end
    initialVelocities(2:numBases-1) = initialVelocities(2:numBases-1) + 0.5 * dt * (acceleration(2:numBases-1) + newAcceleration(2:numBases-1));
end
% Visualization of displacement over time for each base pair
figure;
hold on;
for n = 2:numBases-1
    plot(tspan, x(n, :));
end
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Displacement');
legend(arrayfun(@(n) ['Base ' num2str(n)], 2:numBases-1, 'UniformOutput', false));
title('Displacement of DNA Bases Over Time');
hold off;

The results are visualized using a plot that shows the displacements of each base over time . Key observations from the simulation include :

Wave Propagation: The initial perturbations lead to wave-like dynamics along the segment, with visible propagation and reflection at the boundaries.
Damping Effects: The inclusion of damping leads to a gradual reduction in the amplitude of the oscillations, indicating energy dissipation over time.
Nonlinear Behavior: The nonlinear term influences the response, potentially stabilizing the system against large displacements or leading to complex dynamic patterns.

colorbar; % Adds a color bar to indicate displacement magnitude

% Snapshot visualization at a specific time

Support "hidden blocks" in Livescripts

Updating some of my educational Livescripts to 2024a, really love the new "define a function anywhere" feature, and have a "new" idea for improving Livescripts -- support "hidden" code blocks similar to the Jupyter Notebooks functionality.

For example, I often create "complicated" plots with a bunch of ancillary items and I don't want this code exposed to the reader by default, as it might confuse the reader. For example, consider a Livescript that might read like this:

-----

Noting the similar structure of these two mappings, let's now write a function that simply maps from some domain to some other domain using change of variable.

function x = ChangeOfVariable( x, from_domain, to_domain )
x = x - from_domain(1);
x = x * ( ( to_domain(2) - to_domain(1) ) / ( from_domain(2) - from_domain(1) ) );
x = x + to_domain(1);
end

Let's see this function in action

% HIDE CELL
clear
close all

from_domain = [-1, 1];
to_domain = [2, 7];
from_values = [-1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1];
to_values = ChangeOfVariable( from_values, from_domain, to_domain )

to_values = 1×5

2.0000 3.2500 4.5000 5.7500 7.0000

We can plot the values of from_values and to_values, showing how they're connected to each other:

% HIDE CELL
figure
hold on
for n = 1 : 5
    plot( [from_values(n) to_values(n)], [1 0], Color="k", LineWidth=1 )
end
ax = gca;
ax.YTick = [];
ax.XLim = [ min( [from_domain, to_domain] ) - 1,  max( [from_domain, to_domain] ) + 1 ];
ax.YLim = [-0.5, 1.5];
ax.XGrid = "on";
scatter( from_values, ones( 5, 1 ), Marker="s", MarkerFaceColor="flat", MarkerEdgeColor="k", SizeData=120, LineWidth=1, SeriesIndex=1 )
text( mean( from_domain ), 1.25, "$\xi$", Interpreter="latex", HorizontalAlignment="center", VerticalAlignment="middle" )
scatter( to_values, zeros( 5, 1 ), Marker="o", MarkerFaceColor="flat", MarkerEdgeColor="k", SizeData=120, LineWidth=1, SeriesIndex=2 )
text( mean( to_domain ), -0.25, "$x$", Interpreter="latex", HorizontalAlignment="center", VerticalAlignment="middle" )
scaled_arrow( ax, [mean( [from_domain(1), to_domain(1) ] ) - 1, 0.5], ( 1 - 0 ) / ( from_domain(1) - to_domain(1) ), 1 )
scaled_arrow( ax, [mean( [from_domain(end), to_domain(end)] ) + 1, 0.5], ( 1 - 0 ) / ( from_domain(end) - to_domain(end) ), -1 )
text( mean( [from_domain(1), to_domain(1) ] ) - 1.5, 0.5, "$x(\xi)$", Interpreter="latex", HorizontalAlignment="center", VerticalAlignment="middle" )
text( mean( [from_domain(end), to_domain(end)] ) + 1.5, 0.5, "$\xi(x)$", Interpreter="latex", HorizontalAlignment="center", VerticalAlignment="middle" )

-----

Where scaled_arrow is some utility function I've defined elsewhere... See how a majority of the code is simply "drivel" to create the plot, clear and close? I'd like to be able to hide those cells so that it would look more like this:

-----

Noting the similar structure of these two mappings, let's now write a function that simply maps from some domain to some other domain using change of variable.

function x = ChangeOfVariable( x, from_domain, to_domain )
x = x - from_domain(1);
x = x * ( ( to_domain(2) - to_domain(1) ) / ( from_domain(2) - from_domain(1) ) );
x = x + to_domain(1);
end

Let's see this function in action

from_domain = [-1, 1];

to_values = 1×5

Include information about the "Margin" toggles in Preferences

I recently had issues with code folding seeming to disappear and it turns out that I had unknowingly disabled the "show code folding margin" option by accident. Despite using MATLAB for several years, I had no idea this was an option, especially since there seemed to be no references to it in the code folding part of the "Preferences" menu.

It would be great if in the future, there was a warning that told you about this when you try enable/disable folding in the Preferences.

I am using 2023b by the way.

Highlighting structure fields in MATLAB editor

In the MATLAB editor, when clicking on a variable name, all the other instances of the variable name will be highlighted.

But this does not work for structure fields, which is a pity. Such feature would be quite often useful for me.

I show an illustration below, and compare it with Visual Studio Code that does it. ;-)

I am using MATLAB R2023a, sorry if it has been added to newer versions, but I didn't see it in the release notes.

Research ethics using generative A.I

Dear members, I’m currently doing research on the subject of using Generative A.I. as a digital designer. What our research group would like to know is which ethical issues have a big impact on the decisions you guys and girls make using generative A.I.

Whether you’re using A.I. or not, we would really like to know your vision and opinion about this subject. Please empty your thoughts and oppinion into your answers, we would like to get as much information as possible.

Are you currently using A.I. when doing your job? Yes, what for. No (not yet), why not?

Using A.I., would you use real information or alter names/numbers to get an answer?

What information would or wouldn’t you use? If the client is asking/ordering you to do certain things that go against your principles, would you still do it because order is order? How far would you go?

Who is responsible for the outcome of the generated content, you or the client?

Would you still feel like a product owner if it was co-developed with A.I.?

What we are looking for is that we would like to know why people do or don’t use AI in the field of design and wich ethical considerations they make. We’re just looking for general moral line of people, for example: 70% of designers don’t feel owner of a design that is generated by AI but 95% feels owner when it is co-created.

So therefore the questions we asked, we want to know the how you feel about this.

Debugging Using Conditional Breakpoints & fprintf

Temporary print statements are often helpful during debugging but it's easy to forget to remove the statements or sometimes you may not have writing privileges for the file. This tip uses conditional breakpoints to add print statements without ever editing the file!

What are conditional breakpoints?

Conditional breakpoints allow you to write a conditional statement that is executed when the selected line is hit and if the condition returns true, MATLAB pauses at that line. Otherwise, it continues.

The Hack: use ~fprintf() as the condition

fprintf prints information to the command window and returns the size of the message in bytes. The message size will always be greater than 0 which will always evaluate as true when converted to logical. Therefore, by negating an fprintf statement within a conditional breakpoint, the fprintf command will execute, print to the command window, and evalute as false which means the execution will continue uninterupted!

How to set a conditional break point

1. Right click the line number where you want the condition to be evaluated and select "Set Conditional Breakpoint"

2. Enter a valid MATLAB expression that returns a logical scalar value in the editor dialog.

Handy one-liners

Check if a line is reached: Don't forget the negation (~) and the line break (\n)!

~fprintf('Entered callback function\n')

Display the call stack from the break point line: one of my favorites!

~fprintf('%s\n',formattedDisplayText(struct2table(dbstack)))

Inspect variable values: For scalar values,

~fprintf('v = %.5f\n', v)

Use formattedDisplayText to convert more complex data to a string

~fprintf('%s\n', formattedDisplayText(v)).

Make sense of frequent hits: In some situations such as responses to listeners or interactive callbacks, a line can be executed 100s of times per second. Incorporate a timestamp to differentiate messages during rapid execution.

~fprintf('WindowButtonDownFcn - %s\n', datetime('now'))

Closing

This tip not only keeps your code clean but also offers a dynamic way to monitor code execution and variable states without permanent modifications. Interested in digging deeper? @Steve Eddins takes this tip to the next level with his Code Trace for MATLAB tool available on the File Exchange (read more).

Is there a position for Matlab Community remote support work?

As far as I know, the MATLAB Community (including Matlab Central and Mathworks' official GitHub repository) has always been a vibrant and diverse professional and amateur community of MATLAB users from various fields globally. Being a part of it myself, especially in recent years, I have not only benefited continuously from the community but also tried to give back by helping other users in need.

I am a senior MATLAB user from Shenzhen, China, and I have a deep passion for MATLAB, applying it in various scenarios. Due to the less than ideal job market in my current social environment, I am hoping to find a position for remote support work within the Matlab Community. I wonder if this is realistic. For instance, Mathworks has been open-sourcing many repositories in recent years, especially in the field of deep learning with typical applications across industries. I am eager to use the latest MATLAB features to implement state-of-the-art algorithms. Additionally, I occasionally contribute through GitHub issues and pull requests.

In conclusion, I am looking forward to the opportunity to formally join the Matlab Community in a remote support role, dedicating more energy to giving back to the community and making the world a better place! (If a Mathworks employer can contact me, all the better~)

Seeking Contributors for Upcoming Book on Matrix Algebra with MATLAB for Undergraduate Students

Hello MathWorks Community,

I am excited to announce that I am currently working on a book project centered around Matrix Algebra, specifically designed for MATLAB users. This book aims to cater to undergraduate students in engineering, where Matrix Algebra serves as a foundational element.

Matrix Algebra is not only pivotal in understanding complex engineering concepts but also in applying these principles effectively in various technological solutions. MATLAB, renowned for its powerful computational capabilities, is an excellent tool to explore and implement these concepts, making it a perfect companion for this book.

As I embark on this journey to create a resource that bridges theoretical matrix algebra with practical MATLAB applications, I am looking for one or two knowledgeable individuals who have a firm grasp of both subjects. If you have experience in teaching or applying matrix algebra in engineering contexts and are familiar with MATLAB, your contribution could be invaluable.

Collaborators will help in shaping the content to ensure it is educational, engaging, and technically robust, making complex concepts accessible and applicable for students.

If you are interested in contributing to this project or know someone who might be, please reach out to discuss how we can work together to make this book a valuable resource for engineering students.

Thank you and looking forward to your participation!
