Publisher's Synopsis
The successive chapters of this book develop the work with numerical and graphic interpolation, function adjustment, function graphs, optimization and parameterization of functions. The contents are explained through representative examples that show how to work with MATLAB commands and functions in the chapters mentioned above. The most important content is the following: Interpolation Gridded and Scattered Sample Data Interpolating Gridded Data Interpolation of Multiple 1-D Value Sets Interpolation of 2-D Selections in 3-D Grids Interpolating Scattered Data Interpolation Using a Specific Delaunay Triangulation Extrapolating Scattered Data Normalize Data with Differing Magnitudes Resample Image with Gridded Interpolation Optimization Optimizing Nonlinear Functions Minimizing Functions of One Variable Minimizing Functions of Several Variables Maximizing Functions fminsearch Algorithm Curve Fitting via Optimization Plot Functions Function Handles Parameterizing Functions
