Replace a entry of a table of Bisection Method for a specific term

2 views (last 30 days)
Dear all, inspired in the code 2.1 found from Burden's book I made a table for bissection method. However, the first value of the column called "|x_k- x_{k-1}|" in this code will be some number. I wish to replace this number by " --" (no value). I do not experience in Matlab, so I need help how I can fix it.
It follows the code:
% BISECTION ALGORITHM 2.1
%
% To find a solution to f(x) = 0 given the continuous function
% f on the interval [a,b], where f(a) and f(b) have
% opposite signs:
%
% INPUT: endpoints a,b; tolerance TOL;
% maximum number of iterations NO.
%
% OUTPUT: approximate solution p or
% a message that the algorithm fails.
syms('OK','A','B','X','FA','FB','TOL','NO','FLAG','NAME','OUP','K')
syms('C','P','FP','x','s')
TRUE = 1;
FALSE = 0;
fprintf(1,'Este é o método da Bissecção.\n');
fprintf(1,'Insira a função f(x) em termos de x\n');
fprintf(1,'Por exemplo, x^2-3\n ');
s = input(' ');
F = inline(s,'x');
OK = FALSE;
while OK == FALSE
fprintf(1,'Insira as extremidades A < B em linhas separadas\n');
A = input(' ');
B = input(' ');
if A > B
X = A;
A = B;
B = X;
end
if A == B
fprintf(1,'a não pode ser igual a b\n');
else
FA = F(A);
FB = F(B);
if FA*FB > 0
fprintf(1,'f(a) e f(b) têm o mesmo sinal.\n');
else
OK = TRUE;
end
end
end
OK = FALSE;
while OK == FALSE
fprintf(1,'Insira a tolerância\n');
TOL = input(' ');
if TOL <= 0
fprintf(1,'Tolerância deve ser positiva\n');
else
OK = TRUE;
end
end
OK = FALSE;
while OK == FALSE
fprintf(1,'Coloque o número máximo de iterações - número inteiro positivo\n');
NO = input(' ');
if NO <= 0
fprintf(1,'Must be positive integer\n');
else
OK = TRUE;
end
end
if OK == TRUE
fprintf(1,'Selecione o destino da saída do resultado\n');
fprintf(1,'1. Tela\n');
fprintf(1,'2. Arquivo texto\n');
fprintf(1,'Digite 1 ou 2\n');
FLAG = input(' ');
if FLAG == 2
fprintf(1,'Coloque o nome do arquivo na forma - drive:\\nome.ext\n');
fprintf(1,'Por exemplo: A:\\SAIDA.DTA\n');
NAME = input(' ','s');
OUP = fopen(NAME,'wt');
else
OUP = 1;
end
fprintf(1,'Escolha um valor de saída\n');
fprintf(1,'1. Resposta somente\n');
fprintf(1,'2. A tabela inteira\n');
fprintf(1,'Digite 1 ou 2\n');
FLAG = input(' ');
fprintf(OUP,'Método da Bissecção\n');
if FLAG == 2
fprintf('%3s%12s%12s%12s%12s%12s%14s%18s\n', 'k', 'a_k', 'b_k', 'f(a_k)', 'f(b_k)', 'x_k', 'f(x_k)', '|x_k-x_{k-1}|');
end
% STEP 1
K = 1;
% STEP 2
OK = TRUE;
while K <= NO & OK == TRUE
% STEP 3
% Compute P(I)
C = (B - A) / 2.0;
P = A + C;
% STEP 4
FP = F(P);
erro=abs(C);
%erro(0)='nenhum valor';
% erro(1)={};
if FLAG == 2
fprintf('%3d \t %3f \t %3f \t %3f \t %3f \t %3f \t %3f \t %10f\n',K-1,A, B,FA, FB, P,FP,erro);
end
if erro < 1.0e-20 | C < TOL
% procedure completed successfully
fprintf(OUP,'\nSolução aproximada é %11.8f \n',P);
%fprintf(OUP,'com b = %12f\n',B);
fprintf(OUP,'Número de iterações = %3f.',K-1);
%fprintf(OUP,'Lembre-se que o erro absoluto em k=0 não é calculado %3f \n',TOL);
OK = FALSE;
else
% STEP 5
K = K+1;
% STEP 6
% compute A(I) and B(I)
if FA*FP > 0
A = P;
FA = FP;
else
B = P;
FB = FP;
end
end
end
if OK == TRUE
% STEP 7
% procedure completed unsuccessfully
%fprintf(OUP,'\nIteration number %3d',NO);
%fprintf(OUP,' gave approximation %12.8f\n',P);
%fprintf(OUP,'F(P) = %12.8f not within tolerance : %15.8e\n',FP,TOL);
end
if OUP ~= 1
%fclose(OUP);
%fprintf(1,'Output file %s created successfully \n',NAME);
end
end
Thank you in advance,
