I'm trying to make a Simulink model consisting of a clock (as a source) and a MATLAB function that calculates the following:
Y=exp(t) * sigma(n=1:inf)[n * exp(n*t)]
Can anybody help me write the code?

MATLAB Fcn
exp(u)*sum([1:10].* exp([1:10].*u)) %not infinite sum but close enough

You won't be able to write an infinite series directly. You will either have to use an approximation, or only calculate the sum for the first 'n' elements.

If and only if t is less than 0,
Y = exp(2*t)/(exp(t)-1)^2
That is, sum(n*exp(n*t), n = 1 .. infinity) is exp(t)/(exp(t)-1)^2
If t is 0 or greater, the sum is infinite, as you are adding together numbers that increase infinitely.

tnx for the answers....and what should i do when i want to do same thing with sigma(n^2*exp(u))?im encountering the error matrix must be squer using [1:10]^2....

n.^2 instead of n^2
But n^2*exp(u) has the same problem I described above of having an infinite value unless u is negative.

n=1:1:100; y=exp(0.4)*(n.*exp(0.4*n)); tot=0; for i=1:100; tot=tot+y(i); end disp(tot);

u = 0.4 ; % assumed
n=1:1:100; % only first 100 terms taken
