How do I avoid using if and else statements in this code

17 views (last 30 days)
I want to rewrite this code but without if and else statements. I just want to enhance convergence rate
for i=1:N-1
for j=1:M-1
A(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1),i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=-2/dx^2-2/dy^2;
B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))-(cos(x(i)+y(j))+cos(x(i)-y(j)));
if i==1
B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))-cos(y(j))/dx^2;
else
A(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1),i-1+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=1/dx^2;
end
end
end

Can you write down the equation you are trying to implement with these for loops?

Hi,
If your main goal is to remove the if else statements from the code, you can write the following code first and then write the main for loop with i starting from 2 instead on one and remove the if statement and keep the statement in the else condition.
i = 1;
for j=1:M-1
A(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1),i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=-2/dx^2-2/dy^2;
B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))-cos(y(j))/dx^2;
end
for i=2:N-1
for j=1:M-1
A(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1),i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=-2/dx^2-2/dy^2;
B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=B(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1))-(cos(x(i)+y(j))+cos(x(i)-y(j)));
A(i+(M-1-j)*(N-1),i-1+(M-1-j)*(N-1))=1/dx^2;
end
end
if you want to further optimize you can vectorize the first loop.
Hope this helps!

I wouldn't personally care how my code would solve the equations. The more time you put in, the more you can optimize your code. At some point you get to a stage where you need to put in an unreasonable amount of time. Then I would stop.
Are you really sure you simply want to avoid an if/else block? That doesn't make sense to me.
What toolboxes relating to diff equations do you have available?

Hi Rik,
Yes, I just want to avoid the if/else block. I want to solve the pde another way (without using the if/else block).
I am not using an toolboxes in matlab. I just want to solve the pde using the difference algorithm.
