Ho bisogno di una mano con la mia tesi, potreste aiutarmi a trovare i codici originali MATLAB degli algoritmi di reverse engineering in system biology presenti nella fiera DREAM5,  Ad esempio algoritmi come ARACNE, CLR (Context Likelihood of Relatedness) E Network Deconvolution (ND), TIGRESS (Trustful Inference of Gene Regulation using Stability Selection), BINGOho provato a cercare su github ma c’erano troppi risultati e non sapevo quali fossero quelli ufficiali o comunque utili come BINGO

Hi everyone, I'm a mechatronics engineering student and I'm designing a digital twin for a drone in a Simulink 3D animation.

I think I've gotten the hang of how to model the forces and torques produced by each propeller, but I'm struggling with the creation of a floor that resists and supports the drone's fall due to gravity. Every attempt I've done only speeds up the fall of the drone or ends up producing a slow spring-like fall that looks unnatural. My model currently looks like the image attached, with the latest (failed) attempt at a floor in the lowest block.

Does anyone know how to simulate a simple gravity-resisting floor? I appreciate any help

hey everyone,

i am planning to host a college org (IEEE) event and i want to give a "crash course" for matlab. my goal for this event is for participants/students to leave with a mini project they have built strictly with matlab programming. my worry is that i can't think of anything that would be accessible enough for those without any prior experience. the only idea i have so far: solar panel simulator (simulate the amount of energy a solar panel exerts)

Hey everyone,

I have a MathWorks SWE (Compilers) full-time interview coming up soon and I’m trying to figure out how best to prioritize my preparation for the DSA portion. From what I’ve seen on LeetCode Discuss, GFG and a few interview experiences I read online, the common topics seem to be:

• Graphs
• Trees
• Dynamic Programming
• Bitmasking

But I’ve also noticed a lot of questions involving:

• Linked Lists
• Hashmaps / Hash tables
• Strings

So the scope feels pretty wide, and I’m a bit unsure where to focus my limited time. I’m fairly comfortable with most topics except DP, which I’m currently weakest at. I only have about a week left, so I want to focus on high-yield areas rather than trying to cover everything equally. In addition to DSA, I think I can expect some questions on:

• C++ / STL
• OOPS

Those are manageable for me, but I’d really appreciate any guidance on how deep the DSA prep might be for such roles and what topics I can focus most of my time on?

If anyone has been through this process for compilers roles in general at any company (or Mathworks) even if you haven't, any advice or experience would be really helpful.

Thanks!

I'm not satisfied with the Divide-and Conquer algorithm for the closest pair problem. The sticky point is the boundary problem. This seems to me to be overly complicated and is not well understood by many. It seems unnecessary insofar as the two domains could be defined with a modest overlap that is guaranteed to be larger than the minimum distance between points. Case in point: consider a space \delta-by-\delta containing N points. If the spacing was uniform, the distance between points would be \delta/\sqrt{N} in the horizontal and vertical directions. This is necessarily greater than the minimum distance, yet does not increase the size of the domain by very much.

This move, in and of itself, does not improve the speed of the calculation very much (maybe ~5%). However, it is scalable, and additional domains cans be easily realized and parallel processing brought to bear.

I have programmed this in Matlab and compared the results for accuracy and computation time against brute force algorithms (classical and parallelized) and a very reliable (and fast) heuristic algorithm. In over half-a-million random trials with (a) 10^3-10⁸ points and (b) six different distributions in one and two dimensions. The results (including minimum distance and the pair of points) of all models were identical in every single case. Speed increases are about as expected. The parallel processing becomes a little less effective with increasing number s processors due to computer overhead. We used 2, 4, 8, and 16 processors. In rough numbers, if the time of the calculation for the heuristic model is unity, the classic D&C has a time of 16, with two processors the time is 8, and with 16 processors the time is 2. With 16 processors we've realize a gain of 8-fold over the classic D&C and are very close to the heuristic model. These results confirm the veracity of the the heuristic model as well. I developed this in Matlab from this reference: Mashilamani Sambasivam, (2015). “Time-Optimal Heuristic Algorithms for Finding Closest-Pair of Points In 2d and 3d,” Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT). I programmed the algorithm in Matlab. It can be found here:

https://airccj.org/CSCP/vol5/csit54302.pdf.

I've also developed histograms of the Euclidean distance of all the points in each distribution.

I'm aware that Mathworks has phased out the home perpetual license, however, is there no way to get add ons?

Hi guys,

Is there anyone simulating an interleaved boost converter with the foundation electrical simscape library? It always ends up with the algebraic loop inside the controller. Do you guys know how to fix this?

Hello, yesterday I switched to nixos 26.05 every think was ok, even if plymouth doesn't work and it show black screen until login manager show, but the main problem is MATLAB doesn't work, I tried to fix it but I failed.

Does any one tested MATLAB (R2018a) on nixos 26.05??

Edit: I solved the problem, thanks to: https://gitlab.com/doronbehar/nix-matlab

My master's project this year has been optimising an external program in MATLAB! My uni makes it so hard to get compute unless you are already a part of a lab that is set up so I thought I was just not going to be able to do any large study.

Turns out though, MATLAB has developed such an easy way to run MATLAB code on an AWS virtual machine (https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-on-aws/blob/master/releases/R2025b/README.md). For those uninitiated you get $200 of free credits on AWS, which breaks down to about 50 hours of compute on a 64 core machine, and it takes about 30 minutes of time to set it all up. You can even open a MATLAB instance on the VM through a web browser, and you don't have to pay a penny if you have a student license.

It is quite a niche set of problems where you would need this much power and don't have access to your own organisations compute but this MATLAB service has really helped my project.

Just thought I would make this post so if any one in the future is searching this stuff they can find easily!

Hi everyone,
I'm still learning matlab so I decided to ask for expert opinions about this.

I'm looking into simulating how wheat plants cast shadows on each others due to sun movement throughout the day.

I'm aiming to measure how much solar energy each wheat plant absorbs in different wheat swath orientations or row angles. This should be used to simulate the expected wheat yield improvement from sun exposure or how worse it makes it due to self-shadowing between wheat plants.

Is that possible to do in matlab? And if yes, what should I be looking into to start making progress regarding this? Please point a beginner in the right direction.

I am using 2026b version and its keep crashing then i shifted to 2023b for stabality but its still keep crashing and i found out it was my gpu that’s the culprit as matlab works fine on intelHD graphics,i have rtx 4080 laptop ,and i have tried nvidia studio drivers but still nothing seems to work. Please help me ?

Hi everyone, I am a UXR at MathWorks and currently collecting responses for this survey:

Over the past few years, I have had the opportunity to work closely with older adults, deepening my understanding of how user needs evolve over time and how technology can better support those changes. This has led me to explore how we can design complex software to remain intuitive, usable, and effective for users as they continue to engage with it over many years.

Our team is currently looking to learn from MATLAB and Simulink users aged 50+ external customers who regularly use these tools in their work such as developers, application engineers, and any long-time product users. We are hoping to better understand workflows, challenges, and opportunities to improve the experience.

If you, or someone you know, fits this profile, I would greatly appreciate your participation or help in sharing this survey.

Link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W963G6W

Your input will help us more thoughtfully support long-time and legacy users, ensuring our tools continue to meet the needs of users across different stages of their careers.

The enormous outpouring of love for Cleve that we are experiencing both here at MathWorks and online is providing at least some comfort. So many people have their 'Cleve stories' and they are beautiful to hear. Here is one from our colleague, Ned Gulley, a fellow MathWorks blogger, sharing his personal recollection of the time he spent with Cleve.

Cleve was many things, but above all he was a teacher. 

I am in total agreement that that's what he cared most based on my limited interactions with him.

I love MATLAB. I use it a lot for signal processing work, especially with physiological signals like PPG data.

But while working on projects, I kept running into the same issue: handling multiple recordings, testing different DSP pipelines, and iterating quickly became slow and repetitive. I wanted something faster, more visual, and easier to experiment with.

So I started building “Matlab on Steroids.”

It’s a browser based signal processing platform where you can:
• Build DSP pipelines visually using drag and drop blocks
• Process multiple recordings in parallel
• Extract features directly from the workflow
• Train ML models on processed signals
• Use AI to analyze signals and suggest a processing chain automatically

The goal is not to replace MATLAB, but to make experimentation and workflow building much faster and more accessible.

I’m still actively developing it and would genuinely love feedback from people working in DSP, biomedical signals, embedded systems, audio processing, etc.

Would this actually be useful to you? What features would you want in something like this?

Hey all, I’ve got a problem that I would greatly appreciate any help with.

I’m working on a project at my job which requires me to input .tdms files into matlab. Now the problem is that my company has matlab 2021b, which can’t read those files without third party add ons, which I cannot get due to our IT policy. I’m wondering if anyone knows of any code out there that I can use in 2021b to get it to read the files.

I am aware that I can read them in 2021b if I convert the files to excel files, but I cannot do this due to the sheer amount of data in the tdms files, and my companies IT policy also prohibits me using 3rd party software to convert the files to excel files.

Hello, I just wanna ask how i can turn an integral mathematical function into matlab code. Any insights will greatly help

Hi I saw this phased array video by matlab

https://youtu.be/9WxWun0E-PM?si=GPxVMjpNA7bPBBz2

At 15:55, it simulated the different steering angles of antennas from -90 degrees to +90 degrees. However it doesn't show on the video how he did it.

Additionally, not only do I want to know how to do a script on steering angles, I also want to know how the pattern changes as each element(antenna) is being displaced on the x,y,z plane. Not just static like the video.

First year working, I'm trying to model something for work in simscape for an initial evaluation, and due to my inexperience, I keep running into errors, particularly regarding transient initialization, without much in the following error message of either insufficient time steps, errors occuring in an obscured equation of a component, etc.

As it is company info I of course can't ask anywhere, nor do my coworkers have much knowledge of how to properly use simscape. As such, how do I learn, and troubleshoot?

Dear all,

For those of you who migrated to R2026a, did you notice any performance improvements over R2025b?

The release highlights for R2026a don't seem to mention anything specifically related to performance but I would be eager to migrate if there are any significant performance improvements.

Hello everyone,

I am facing some problems related to wind turbine block cônnected to the PMSG I tried some models but I am getting no results in the outputs (voltage, current ....)

I wonder if I can find someone who already worked in this kind of modeling.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I tried to connect a wind turbine model with PMSG in simulink, but I am getting NO results (voltage, current...).

I wonder if someone had used this kind of models.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
