$$
Unknowns are:-
$$
\begin{gathered}
\left(a_{0}^{l}, a_{n}^{l}\right) ;\left(b_{0}^{l}, b_{n}^{l}\right),\left(c_{0}^{l}, c_{n}^{l}\right) and \\
\left(d_{0}^{l}, d_{n}^{l}\right) .
\end{gathered}
$$
The above system of equations which is linear one is the latex code for these equations and i need to solve it for these unknowns. I am confused that how i can solved this system. how i can write these equations in matrix form to solved it for the unknowns? Help me.

@Sam Chak we can defined the number for its truncation by taking a big number i.e
M=20;
N=50;
My question is that i need to solve this system of linear equations. so i need to write 1st the system in matrix i.e AX=B then i can solve by using X=A^{-1}B. But I am confused about that how to write this system in AX=B form.

I see, @javeria. So, you would like to learn how to solve a system of linear equations. You can refer to the example at the following link and begin writing the code accordingly.
https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/solve-a-system-of-linear-equations.html
If you are able to create the equations in LaTeX, I believe you can certainly write those equations in MATLAB. You can also search for more examples on Google: "how to solve a system of linear equations with MATLAB".

@Sam Chak for the simple equations i solved it, but here the system is very complicated because these coefficients of unknowns are also matrix not a single value. so i am little bit confuse that how i can define these equations in matlab.

If you want to avoid writing your system as A*X = B, you can use a nonlinear solver like "fsolve". As the system is linear, it should converge in one step.
Otherwise - as @Sam Chak already said - you can use "equationsToMatrix" to let MATLAB compute A and B from your equations:

Did you copy my full code ?
I changed
b = sym('b', [1 M]); % b1, b2, b3
a = sym('a', [1 N]); % a1, a2
c = sym('c', [1 M]); % c1, c2, c3
d = sym('d', [1 N]); % d1, d2
to
a = sym('a', [N 1]); % a1, a2
b = sym('b', [M 1]); % b1, b2, b3
c = sym('c', [M 1]); % c1, c2, c3
d = sym('d', [N 1]); % d1, d2
Maybe this is the problem.

@Torsten @Sam Chak I need some help regarding my research I am a Phd student. I derive analytical equations for my system to find the unknown coefficient however my results are not corrected. If i provide my analytical expression can you do help me in coding part. Or if you have mathematics background can you also help me in analytical part.
Thanks
