Octave Definition and 40 Threads

Sometimes to help describe one expression, another expression is shown that produces identical results. The exact equivalence of expressions is indicated with ‘ ≡’. For example: rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], -1) ≡ rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], 3) ≡ rot90 ([1, 2; 3, 4], 7) What is the meaning of 'rot90;? What...

How can I plot 'file1.dat 2nd column' vs 'file2.dat 1st column' in Gnuplot? If someone can help me with what code I need to write to do it, it will be very helpful.

Hi , I had to solve a quadratic equation , i got two roots as an answer ( ans= x1 / x2) , and now i need to use one of those answers to complete further tasks like finding y from x+y=c so i need to use x1 and x2 from roots , i was wondering if that's possible and how

Hi, I used to use MATLAB for this kind of thing, but now my pc broke and I need to run some scripts. I have a .txt file structured like this 10 -2.34454 12 -2.34566 14 -2.34677 ... ... and I want to store the data in two variables: the first is the "counting" (10, 12, ...) and the second is...

I'm trying to do a fairly complete system analysis script in Octave that involves these steps: 1) Assign values to all fixed system parameters 2) Make various preliminary calculations based on system parameters 3) Solve a system of differential equations 4) Make various post-ODE solution...

The problem of interest at the moment is the solution of a simple damped oscillator problem, xddot+2*zeta*wn*xdot+wn^2*x = 0 Everything seems to work fine provided I include the values of zeta and wn inside the function that defines the derivative values. But zeta and wn are actually calculated...

I'm new to using Octave 5.1.0, and a bit confused about how to solve ODEs with Octave. Let me show you a bit of code that I grabbed off a university web site: >> function xdot = pend(x,t) % pend.m xdot(1) = x(2); xdot(2) = - x(1) - 0.1*x(2); end >> sol=lsode( "pend",[0.1, 0.2], t =...

I have the following code in Octave: h = [29.3 25.3 19.7 16.0 10.9]; v = [0.53 0.47 0.37 0.29 0.21]; plot(h,v,'obk') hold on p = polyfit(h,v,1); y = polyval(p,h); plot(h,y,'-bk') And I get a good graph: I can extrapolate the best fit line using the following code: x = -1:0.01:11; >> y =...

I'm running Octave 5.1 on a Win10 system. I find the white background for the editor has far too much glare for old eyes. The orange text used in the editor does not have good contrast with the white background. I could go on, but I'm sure you can see where I want to go. Does anyone know how to...

To see the steps I have completed so far, https://math.stackexchange.com/q/3168898/261956 I think there are at least three more steps. The next step is finding the eigenvectors together with the generalized eigenvectors of each eigenvalue. Then we use this to construct the transition matrix...

One octave is a doubling of frequency, say, 440Hz to 880Hz for A. If I understand correctly, that is divided into 12 equal divisions, denoted by all 12 naturals and sharps/flats. Of those 12, any given key tends to use only 8. Why do these 8, which are not evenly distributed throughout the...

I have a signal that I am able to calculate through an acoustic model for airfoil noise. I am told that the model solves for a narrowband frequency response, however, my measurement data is provided in third-octave band representation. How do I convert my current dataset to the third octave...
