The carot symbol on my keyboard (ˆ shift+6) doesn't work on matlab. Matlab doesn't recognize it so I can't write any equation with power symbol. I tried every possible solution on the web and it doesn't work. even in the character viewer I don't have any result when I search ''caret".

In the past year, we've witnessed an exponential growth of ChatGPT and other Generative AI tools. AI has quickly become a transformative force across industries, from tech giants to small startups, and even community sites like ours. For instance, Stack Overflow announced its plan to leverage AI tools to draft a question or tag content; Quora built a ChatGPT bot to answer questions; and GitHub is piloting the AI tool for personalized content.
This trend in the community landscape makes me wonder what MATLAB Central community, especially in MATLAB Answers, can do to integrate AI and enhance the community.
Share with us your ideas in the comment session. Ideally one comment per idea, so that others can vote on a secific idea or have deeper discussions about it.
We launched the Discussions area with 6 channels, based on the existing types of content we see today in the MATLAB Central community.
I'm curious which channels you are most interested in participating, or which channels are missing.

Over the weekend I came across a pi approximation using durations of years and weeks (image below, Wolfram, eq. 89), accurate to 6 digits using the average Gregorian year (365.2425 days).
Here it is in MATLAB. I divided by 1 week at the end rather than multiplying by its reciprocal because you can’t divide a numeric by a duration in MATLAB (1/week).
weeks = @(n)n*days(7);
piApprox = ((years(13)-weeks(6))/years(13) + weeks(3)) / weeks(1)
% piApprox = 3.141593493469302
Here’s a breakdown
- The first argument becomes 12.885 yrs / 13 yrs or 0.99115
- Add three weeks: 0.99115 + 3 weeks = 21.991 days
- The reduced fraction becomes 21.991 days / 7 days
Now it looks a lot closer to the more familiar approximation for pi 22/7 but with greater precision!

I'm curious how the community uses the hold command when creating charts and graphics in MATLAB. In short, hold on sets up the axes to add new objects to the axes while hold off sets up the axes to reset when new objects are added.
When you use hold on do you always follow up with hold off? What's your reasoning on this decision?
Can't wait to discuss this here! I'd love to hear from newbies and experts alike!

Imagine x is a large vector and you want the smallest 10 elements. How might you do it?
The way we've solved ODEs in MATLAB has been relatively unchanged at the user-level for decades. Indeed, I consider ode45 to be as iconic as backslash! There have been a few new solvers in recent years -- ode78 and ode89 for example -- and various things have gotten much faster but if you learned how to solve ODEs in MATLAB in 1997 then your knowledge is still applicable today.
In R2023b, there's a completely new framework for solving ODEs and I love it! You might argue that I'm contractually obliged to love it since I'm a MathWorker but I can assure you this is the real thing!
I wrote it up in a tutorial style on The MATLAB Blog https://blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2023/10/03/the-new-solution-framework-for-ordinary-differential-equations-odes-in-matlab-r2023b/
The new interface makes a lot of things a much easier to do. Its also setting us up for a future where we'll be able to do some very cool algorithmic stuff behind the scenes.
Let me know what you think of the new functionality and what you think MathWorks should be doing next in the area of ODEs.
I am trying to make a simulink model to use a MPC to reduce power consumption of HVAC system in an electric vehicle during cool down from ambient temperature to a set point temperature. Any help regarding this would be appreciated
Hi Everyone,
I have a high-order filter and I need to determinate its R,L,C values. In the simulation, the filter is unstable for some values. But I want to find values for stability of the filter. For second order system has some formulation between Q and phase margin so that it can be obtain the stability ciriteria to choose components.
My transfer function denominator is 5th order polynomial, and it is not possible to find roots in terms of R,L,C, Lm. I need to factor it like one 1th and two second order as shown in below.
D(s) = (1+s/wp) (1+s/wo1Q1 + (s/wo1)²) (1+s/wo2Q2 + (s/wo2)²)
Is there any methods to reduce order of transfer function?(Maybe, it can be possible for only in certain frequency range, can be renounced high-frequency )
Kindly help me correct this code to function properly. I am just learning MATLAB. i cannot get the output in abc frame. This is the code:

Hello, Recently I have started working on a thermal management project at my Institute. I am taking some hints from en example of EV thermal management provided by MATLAB. I am having an issue in deciding how the battery current and powertrain heat load is calculated as a function of vehicle speed. It would be helpful if someone could provide some links or references regarding this. (Also, attaching a screenshot of the example for better understanding)
I am processing ocean and climate data (1982-2022). Here, I have table which having heatwaves events details. Now, I want to sort the data month wise and also seasonal wise (summer:October- February, and winter:March-September), and then i wanted to plot mean seasonal and trend.
Sample file is attached. length of original file may vary in size.
Thanks in addvance.
Hello,
can someone help me with HEV model? I have no experience with simulink modeling, maybe someone have any simple HEV models or any tutorials how to start everything? :)
Thank you.
I am using simulink to generate a simple ADC sampling code. I configured ADC module in software mode, which updates the sampled value according to the sample time configured in the module. I set the sample time to 1e-4, 1e-5, 1e-6 respectively. But it seems that the sampling speed did not reach the value I set. I suspect it has something to do with the read and write operations, but I am not sure if that's the reason.
I also tried to do it using PWM event to trigger the start of conversion of ADC. Same problem happened. Because I connect a potentiometer and turn its knob slowly, the Graph on CCS is correct while when I turn it very quickly, the graph is not able to keep up with my movements. So the sampling rate is surely not enough. I wonder what I should do to successfully configure this model, thanks in advance!
Hello,
I have an Open Loop Transfer Function:
Gc(s)Gp(s) = aKp(1+Tis) / Tis(s+1+p)
It was decided for this system a=5, Ti=0.1 and p=0.5
What would the poles and zeroes be for this?
Ive done the other examples but this one looks very different to the other questions and it has me stuck.
Any help is appreciated and sorry if this is the wrong place to post such questions.
"The model is configured to create a SIL block, which is not supported for the selected hardware board. To resolve this, search for 'Create block' in the Configuration Parameters dialog box and set it to 'None' or 'PIL'.
