ne

R2026b

Laurent polynomials inequality test

Syntax

tf = ne(A,B)

tf = (A ~= B)

Description

tf = ne(A,B) compares Laurent polynomials A and B and returns 1 (true) if the two are unequal and 0 (false) otherwise.

tf = (A ~= B) is equivalent to tf = ne(A,B).

Examples

Test Equality of Laurent Polynomials

Create two Laurent polynomials:

• $$a(z)=2z^3-3z^2+4z-5$$

• $$b(z)=4z^3-6z^2+8z$$

a = laurentPolynomial(Coefficients=[2 -3 4 -5],MaxOrder=3);
b = laurentPolynomial(Coefficients=[4 -6 8],MaxOrder=3);

Confirm $$a(z)$$ and $$b(z)$$ are not equal.

a ~= b

ans = logical
   1

Confirm $$2a(z)+10$$ and $$b(z)$$ are equal.

c = rescale(a,2)+10;
eq(c,b)

ans = logical
   1

Input Arguments

Output Arguments

tf — Inequality test result

true or 1 | false or 0
