MATLAB is a very popular dynamic “scripting” language for numerical computations used by scientists, engineers and students world-wide. MATLAB programs are often developed incrementally using a mixture of MATLAB scripts and functions, and frequently build upon existing code which may use outdated features. This results in programs that could benefit from refactoring, especially if the code will...

The Third Edition of the MATLAB Primer is based on version 4.0/4.1 of MATLAB. While this edition reflects an extensive general revision of the Second Edition, most significant is the new information to help one begin to use the major new features of version 4.0/4.1, the sparse matrix and enhanced graphics capabilities. You are advised to download anew each term the latest printing of the Primer...

in this paper, matlab code for a recently developed meta-heuristic methodology, the vibrating particles system (vps) algorithm, is presented. the vps is a population-based algorithm which simulates a free vibration of single degree of freedom systems with viscous damping. the particles gradually approach to their equilibrium positions that are achieved from current population and historically b...
