I have a nonlinear equation ,, which i didn't know how to put it in matlab
10 views (last 30 days)
Show older comments
the equation
x exp x = [(segma / KB * T ) ^ 2 - x ]* (tr/ttr) * exp(E0 - Ea)/KB * T
while :
segma = 13 , KB =8.617*10^-5 , tr= 250 , ttr= 0.027 , E0=1.185 , Ea=E0+0.073
T=0:300
and the other one is
E(T)= E0 -(0.00000048 * T^2) /(270 + T) - x * KB *T
while
E0=1.185 , KB =8.617*10^-5 and also T =0:300
can any one help me with it please

i need to give a result for each x ,, that is means for every T there is an x for it ,,, if i but the other elemnts to the equation it will be
x exp x = [ ( 13 / 8.617*10^-5 * T )^2 - x ] * ( 250/0.027 ) * exp[ ( 0.073 ) / 8.617*10^-5 * T ]
there is still x and T but T change from 0 to 300

You responded to my question without explaining what E(T) has to do with anything.
So is it clear? Not fully. It seems you have written TWO equations, one for E(T) which seems to be used for nothing.
The first equation can be solved (IF a solution exists) using fzero. Thus, for EACH value of T, you will solve the problem independently. A loop would suffice, and there is no real reason to do anything more sophisticated than a loop.
T = 0:300;
X = zeros(size(T));
syms x
for n = 1:numel(T)
Eqn1 = x*exp(x) == [(segma / KB * T(n) ) ^ 2 - x ]* (tr/ttr) * exp(E0 - Ea)/KB * T(n);
X(n) = double(vpasolve(Eqn1,x));
end
The above solution could also have been trivially written to use fzero.

E(T) is the energy depend on the T temperature ,,, varshni law ... and it is depend on x for each value of x in any temperature then E(T) also will change
i but the same what you write
T = 0:300; X = zeros(size(T)); syms x for n = 1:numel(T) Eqn1 = x*exp(x) ==(( 13 / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) )^2 - x ) * ( 250/0.027 ) * exp ( 0.073 ) / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) ;
X(n) = double(vpasolve(Eqn1,x));
end
but this massage appear ; Undefined function 'syms' for input arguments of type 'char'.
Error in xxxxxxxxxx (line 3) syms x
i don't know whats wrong ?????????

As the symbolic toolbox is not listed as licensed product, you'll have to buy and/or install it.

it's works thank you so muchh but i have another two equations please
the first one :
E = 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T^2) /(270 + T)
while T change from 0 to 300 ,,,,,, T = 0:300 I want E in every time T change ,, and i want to plot it
the other on is related with the both equations E= 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T^2) /(270 + T) - x * 8.617*10^-5 * T
thats means every time T will change also x will change and then E will change and also i want to plot it
im sooo sorry but im really i don't know anything about matlab , and i am thank you sooo much .

Please don't add answers just to comment. Moved your answer to a comment by @beso...
for the first equation
E = 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T^2) /(270 + T)
i type this :
T=linspace(0,300,300) for i= 1 : 300
E(i)=1.185-(0.00000048*T(i)^2)/270+T(i);
and when i want to plot it i type :
plot(T,E(i))
but the figure was sooo different from what i have in the paper ,,, i don't know what is the wrong can anyone answer me please
and i didn't know how i type the other one ;
E= 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T^2) / (270 + T) - x * 8.617*10^-5 * T

So you need to learn to use plot. You need to learn basic tools of MATLAB. (Which means you need to read the getting started tutorials.)
T=linspace(0,300,300);
E = 1.185-(0.00000048*T.^2)./(270+T);
plot(T,E)
That is all you need, and nothing more. There is no need to use a loop.
Note my use of the .^ operator for element-wise power. Sometimes you will also need to use .* and ./ for element-wise multiplications or divisions between two vectors. As you can see, I used ./ there too.
You use those operators whenever you need to perform an operation on the elements of vectors or arrays.
And, once you have solved for the vector of values x, one for every element of T, you do the same operations on the real line for E.
E = 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T.^2) ./ (270 + T) - 8.617e-5*X.*T;
As you can see here, I used the ./ operator, because I was dividing the elements of one vector into another vector of the same shape and size. I used .^ to square the elements of the vector T. I used X.*T to multiply the elements of those vectors. This works because X and T are the same size, so both are row vectors.
Also note my use of a semi-colon at the end of the line.
Finally, there is no need to use .* to multiply be a scalar value, because * works already for that.
Finally, I did write
8.617*10^-5
as
8.617e-5
The latter is more efficient since there is no need to raise 10 to a power, as well as easier to read and write.

i tried this sultion before but i thought may be a have to use a loop
but what about this equation E= 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T^2) /(270 + T) - x * 8.617*10^-5 * T it is contain x here ,, what we do it before how can i mix them together ???

T=linspace(0,300,300);
E1 = 1.185-(0.00000048*T.^2)./(270+T);
plot(T,E1)
T = 0:300;
syms x
for n = 1:numel(T)
Eqn1 = x*exp(x) ==(( 13 / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) )^2 - x ) * ( 250/0.027 ) * exp ( 0.073 ) / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) ;
X(n) = double(vpasolve(Eqn1,x));
E2 = 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T.^2) ./ (270 + T) - 8.617e-5*X.*T;
plot(T,E2)
end
is it correct ???
the value of E1 and E2 take the same result for all T ,,, i mean the answer in each one of them is 1.185 for T=0:300
i don't know why
John D'Errico

Sigh. Are you still stumbling on this?
You defined E2 inside the loop. But you don't want to do that.
You alsos seem to have defined T twice here, once using linspace, once using colon. But one of them will be of length 300, the other is of length 301.
You are just throwing random lines of code around without thinking about what you are doing now.
T = 0:300;
E1 = 1.185-(0.00000048*T.^2)./(270+T);
syms x
X = zeros(size(T));
for n = 1:numel(T)
Eqn1 = x*exp(x) ==(( 13 / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) )^2 - x ) * ( 250/0.027 ) * exp ( 0.073 ) / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) ;
X(n) = double(vpasolve(Eqn1,x));
end
E2 = 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T.^2) ./ (270 + T) - 8.617e-5*X.*T;
Yes. E2 is essentially 1.185, or very close to that value. But LOOK AT THE NUMBERS IN YOUR VECTORS. THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Don't just randomly type lines of code and expect a useful result.

So all elements of X lie between 0 and 1.6e-5. They are tiny numbers.
What happens when for T = 0:300, you substitute a REALLY small value for X in the expression for E2?
T is not that large. S square it, then multiply it by 0.00000048, and divide by (270+T). It will be tiny.
Next, what is X*T? Multiply that by another tiny number, thus 8.617e-5. What do you expect there?
So, to compute E2, you add two very small numbers to 1.185. The result is very close to 1.185. Why are you even remotely surprised?

Are they the same? No. Are they close as hell to each other? Of course. Because those other terms are SO small.
Consider E1.
It was computed from
E1 = 1.185-(0.00000048*T.^2)./(270+T);
So plot that second term in E1.
plot(T,(0.00000048*T.^2)./(270+T))
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/188193/image.jpeg)
Look carefully at the y axis. Do you see on top the 10^-5 there?
That means all the elements in that plot are on the order of 8*10^-5, or SMALLER. So if we add 1.185 to a number that is SMALLER than 0.00001, and usually MUCH smaller than that, what do you expect to see?
How about E2? E2 is the same as E1. Except is has that term with X in it.
E2 = 1.185 - (0.00000048 * T.^2) ./ (270 + T) - 8.617e-5*X.*T;
Plot that last term now. Remember to look carefully at the y axis. Remember to look at the exponent attached to that axis. Do you see the 10^-7 there? That means that every number in that plot was smaller than 8e-7, but that the elements on the far left are FAR smaller than that.
plot(T,8.617e-5*X.*T)
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/188195/image.jpeg)
Here are the first 5 elements of that term.

Now, when you subtract a number of that size from 1.185, what do you expect to see?
Think abut what you are doing. Look carefully at the numbers involved.

Hi , it is me again
can i use another way to have numerically solve for the equation
syms x
X = zeros(size(T));
for n = 1:numel(T)
Eqn1 = x*exp(x) ==(( 13 / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) )^2 - x ) * ( 250/0.027 ) * exp ( 0.073 ) / 8.617*10^-5 * T(n) ;
X(n) = double(vpasolve(Eqn1,x));
end
becouse in the plot there is a mistake i dont know way
the original equation is
x*exp(x) = (((sigma/(KB*T(i)))^2-x)*(tautr/taur)*exp(deltaE/(KB*T(i)))
where
sigma = 13*10^-3; %eV
deltaE = -0.073; %eV
E0 = 1.185; %eV
tautr = 0.027;
taur =250;
KB= 8.617*10^-5; %eV/K
T= 0:300

You can switch to using a numeric solver based upon one side of the equation minus the other side.
There appear to be two roots, one in the negative hundreds and the other one extremely close to 0, unless T(i) is negative or is above roughly 10^368. Either way you are going to have a lot of difficulty with loss of numeric precision due to the exp(deltaE/(KB*T[i])) with deltaE being negative and KB being small, which together give you exp() of a large negative number divided T(i)

i want spacily x because there are two equations the first one
E1=E0 -( alfa * T(i)^2 )/(theta + T(i))
and the other one is ;
E2=E0 -( alfa * T(i)^2 )/(theta + T(i)) - X * KB * T(i)
the difference between them is the part with x and that's make the plot different between them
it have to be like this

Then your equations must be wrong. Those equations do not lead to anything symmetrical like you show.
With the equations you have, you should plot out to about T = 4600.

I do not have values for alfa or theta .
Your X is a vector, so your E2 would be a vector for each value of i. Should the reference to X be a reference to X(i) ?
It would help if you were to present full current code.

X(i) = vpasolve(((sigma/(KB*T(i)))^2-x)*(tautr/taur)*exp(deltaE/(KB*T(i)))-x*exp(x)==0,x);
E2(i) = E0 -( alfa * T(i)^2 )/(theta + T(i)) - X(i) * KB * T(i);
end
subplot(1,3,1)
plot(T,E1)
title('E1')
subplot(1,3,2)
plot(T,E2)
title('E2')
subplot(1,3,3)
plot(T,X)
title('X')
Notice that the magnitude of E1 is much larger than the magnitude of X, and KB * T is less than 1 until T somewhere larger than 11500, so subtracting off X * KB * T is nearly the same as subtracting 0 as far as a plot can tell.
Walter Roberson

Whatever. Change the 4600 to 300 then. But in your drawing of what the plot should look like, you want your plot to rise to a peak and then fall again, and with the equations that you gave, the fall cannot happen until T is larger than 300.

Unfortunately even if you switch everything to use symbolic constants for higher precision, vpasolve() has difficulty working with numbers that small. There are solutions, but they are on the order of 1E-133056 to 1E-1348

where T=0:300 and KB = 8.617*10^-5

Walter Roberson
on 21 Mar 2018
"exp(deltaE/(KB*T(i) put there is T change from 0 to 300 so the answer have to change in every point"
exp(deltaE/(KB*T(i)) is the same as exp((deltaE/KB)/T(i)), so you can compute deltaE/KB as a single constant, c, getting an expression of exp(c/T(i)) . With the values you have for deltaE and KB, that leads to exp(-928397.354067541/T(i)) . Over the range T = 0 to T = 300, that is exp(-928397.354067541/0) to exp(-928397.354067541/300) which is exp(-inf) to exp(-3094.6578468918) . exp(-inf) is 0 by definition. exp(-3094.6578468918) is 0 to within the available accuracy of double precision, as it is 1.016655160e-1344 . Even if you switch your computation to use symbolic numbers, the symbolic engine decides that the expression involving 1.016655160e-1344 is round off error on 0 and ends up ignoring that term, effectively leading to x*exp(x) == 0 which has a solution of x = 0.

Near T=1/100, X is approximately 1E-40319770 and by T=300 it has barely risen to 1E-1348 . That range of value has no numeric effect on E2.

Walter Roberson
on 28 Mar 2018
"if i want to solve this equation by using (bisection) how can i do it "
You cannot solve this by bisection. The range of values involved is too small for MATLAB to deal with, including in the Symbolic Toolbox. For example near T = 1/100, X is a number that has more than 40 million decimal places before the first digit.
Even if you were able to solve to that many decimal places, you would still have the fundamental problem that X is not large enough to have any visible effect on E2. If you were to magnify the plot to be the diameter of the Universe, then X would move the plot by far far less than one planck distance.

Walter Roberson
on 28 Mar 2018
No, I will not help you solve it by bisection. It will not give you an answer that is any better than you can obtain with fsolve() [numeric] or vpasolve() [symbolic] .
John and I have independently demonstrated at length that for those equations and constants that your output cannot possibly be anything like you expect. Not for that range of T values. If you let T go over roughly 1500 then you can start to get a shape closer to what you are expecting, but with a notably different fall-off.
You should go back over the equations and the constants very carefully to see if you have made a typing mistake somewhere.

The bisection method can be applied for solving nonlinear equations like f (x) = 0, only in the case where we know some interval [a, b] on which f (x) is continuous and the solution uniquely exist

One of the following must be true:
- you made a mistake in copying one or more of the constants
- you made a mistake in forming the equation implementation leading up to the vpasolve
- the paper is wrong
- your professor is wrong
- both John and I have independently mis-analyzed it and two very different programs are making major major arithmetic errors in calculation.

"can any one help me to do it in matlab please"
No, the equations you have cannot be solved by bisection.
Suppose you were to take the Universe and magnify the smallest possible distance in it, the planck distance, to become the full size of the Universe. Like "Universe squared". Then the smallest possible distance in that magnified Universe^2 would still be larger than the largest possible result for E in the range T = 0 to T = 300. MATLAB is not able to represent numbers that small.

I will have to defer to your professor on this. Different specialties have different notations, that lead to different interpretations of formulas. For example in some places the [] brackets are just a different style to make it easier to find matches, but in other specialties they mean that the integer part is to be taken. I must be lacking knowledge of special notation for the topic that you are working on — because it is absolutely certain that if you use the regular interpretation of operations and if you have copied the equations and constants correctly then the solution is many orders of magnitude different from what would be produced by whatever specialized notation is being used for your question.
