the solution i found was to use equationsToMatrix(equations,list). I created a 'list' with all the simbolic variables x and u and it gave me the matrix equivalent to then I just had to split the matrix into two. As i said in the answers bellow, I don't know any built in matlab function to solve the diferential riccati equation, so I'll have to use the system matrices(Riccati diferential equations's parameters) to solve it with ode45.
How to transform a second order ODE to the format xddot=A.X+B.U

I have a system of ODEs of the type that are currently simbolic functions and I want to find a way to obtain it's matrices automatically cause the system is too big to do it by hand.

Those should work if you want to solve them using the MATLAB ordinary differential equation integrators.
If you want to use them with the Control System Toolbox, that will require a different approach.

The linear control systems assume that all the derivatives are first-degree. The odeToVectorField function will put them in that form, and the second ‘Subs’ output will give the row order of the variables.
Adding:
sympref('AbbreviateOutput',false);
after the initial syms call might also be helpful.

Another option (that I do not often use and so forgot about) is the odeFunction function. That might be more appropriate here.

Hi Ítalo,
Let p = x and q = xdot. Then the standard, first order state space model is
[pdot;qdot] = [zeros(n) eye(n); A zeros(n)] * [p ; q] + [0*B; B] * u;
For example, let A = 2 and B = 3. The output of the system is x.
A = 2; B = 3;
hss = ss([0 1;A 0],[0*B;B],[1 0],0)
htf = tf(hss)
We see from the transfer function that the input/ouput ode is: ydddot = 2*y + 3*u, exactly as it should be because y = x.

The odeToVectorField() should work. But since you already have the linear 2nd-order system in this ODE form , then you should be able to readily transform it to the State-space form through some basic matrix operations:
, where and
Then, the optimal gain can be obtained from the lqr() function.
Check this example if this is something you are look for. You can also try applying the sparse 2nd-order state-space model as recommended by @Paul.
A = magic(4)
B = diag([2, 3, 5, 7])
n = size(A)
Aa = [zeros(n) eye(n);
A zeros(n)]
Bb = [zeros(n); B]
K = lqr(Aa, Bb, eye(2*n), eye(n))

Sounds like a finite horizon problem. You can check if you can apply one of the QP solvers for solving the Riccati Differential Equations. You can find some info here:
