i can't run this program and understant how can i debug. please help me .
thanks.
function [ x ] = newtonraphson(x0 ,f ,c)
for i=1:10
x1=x0 - f \diff(f);
x0=x1;
end
if f<c
x=x0;
else
m=1;
while( diff(f, m)==0)
m=m+1;
end
end
while(f<c)
x1=x0-(m-1)*f \diff(f);
end
x=x1;
x0=0.5;
function f=s(x)
s=(x-1)*(x+5)^5;
[x]=newtonraphson(x0 ,'s',0.001);

Let us do a little test for typical inputs to this line of code:
x1=x0 - f \diff(f);
>> f = [1 2 3]
f =
1 2 3
>> diff(f)
ans =
1 1
x1=x0 - f \diff(f);
So reading this in English
"Set X1 equal to the input variable X0 (of undetermined size) minus the vector of length N backsolve a vector of length (N-1)"
There are a few places this could go wrong, depending on the size of X0, but either way you can not operate on vectors of different lengths like that with the "\" operator.

A few problems leap out at me right away:
  1. x1 = x0 - f\diff(f) Slashes in MATLAB are interpreted as "solve the system of equations ...", so f\diff(f) gives the solution (x) to f*x = diff(f). Check the definition of N-R and you'll see that that's not what you want.
  2. Your first for-loop doesn't achieve anything because f is never updated. You update x0, but not f.
  3. You are calling the function with f as a string ( 's' ). f needs to be a function reference. In MATLAB, this is done with a function handle: newtonraphson(x0 ,@s,0.001); Then, in your function, f will be a function handle to your function s.m. Otherwise, f will be a character array 's'.
  4. Check the doc on diff. It isn't taking the derivative -- it is doing differencing on an array. Everything here is a scalar, so diff will return an empty array. (Because you were using a string for f, it was actually calling the symbolic diff function, but then it will return 1 every time, because it interprets 's' as a the function f(s) = s, hence f'(s) = 1.)
  5. Your definition of s is kinda messed up, too. If you want a symbolic variable, you should do s = sym('(x-1)*(x+5)^5'); Then in your N-R function, you'd need to evaluate it. For that, you could use matlabFunction to convert s (and its derivative) to a function handle.

function regulaFalsi(f,x0,x1,tolerance_value)
%Take equation intervals and tolerance value as argument
%If initail and final interval is given by user then check condition
%f(initial_condition)*f(final_condition) <0
if (f(x0)*f(x1) <0) && (x0 < x1)
counter = 1;
while true
%Formula
x = ((x0 * f(x1)) - (x1 *f(x0))) / (f(x1)-f(x0));
%Check the stoping condition
if abs(f(x))> tolerance_value
if counter == 1
fprintf ("N\tXn-1\t\tf(Xn-1)\t\tXn\t\tf(Xn)\t\tXn+1\t\tf(Xn+1)\n");
end
%Print the value
fprintf ("%d\t%.9f\t%.9f\t%.9f\t%.9f\t%.9f\t%.9f\n",counter,x0,f(x0),x1,f(x1),x,f(x))
%Change the intervales
if (f(x0)*f(x)) < 0
x1 = x;
else
x0 = x;
end
%If the value of function f(x) > tolerance_value stop the process
else
break
end
counter = counter + 1;
end
else
fprintf("Please enter correct intervals");
end

I do not understand how Regula Falsi code is a solution to a question about Newton Raphson?
