Help writting a simple code!
Show older comments
I'm trying to make a Simulink model consisting of a clock (as a source) and a MATLAB function that calculates the following:
Y=exp(t) * sigma(n=1:inf)[n * exp(n*t)]
Can anybody help me write the code?

MATLAB Fcn
exp(u)*sum([1:10].* exp([1:10].*u)) %not infinite sum but close enough

You won't be able to write an infinite series directly. You will either have to use an approximation, or only calculate the sum for the first 'n' elements.

If and only if t is less than 0,
Y = exp(2*t)/(exp(t)-1)^2
That is, sum(n*exp(n*t), n = 1 .. infinity) is exp(t)/(exp(t)-1)^2
If t is 0 or greater, the sum is infinite, as you are adding together numbers that increase infinitely.

[1:10].^2

n.^2 instead of n^2
But n^2*exp(u) has the same problem I described above of having an infinite value unless u is negative.

n=1:1:100; y=exp(0.4)*(n.*exp(0.4*n)); tot=0; for i=1:100; tot=tot+y(i); end disp(tot);

u = 0.4 ; % assumed
n=1:1:100; % only first 100 terms taken
