I want to compare the exponential of matrix A obtained by the summation formula and the one with the eigen values. However, I'm getting the following error when exponential is computed with the diagonalised form (E here).
"Array indices must be positive integers or logical values."
A = [1,2,1,3; 3,1,2,0; 2,2,1,4; 1,3,2,1];
[V,D] = eig(A);
exp_A = 0;
for k = 0:100
exp_A = exp_A + (A^k)/factorial(k);
end
disp(exp_A);
E = V*(exp(D))\V;
disp(E);

My guess is you have a variable named eig sitting in your workspace. So when you try to call the eig function, the variable is overshadowing it and matlab is trying to extract the 1st, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, etc. elements from the eig array. The attempt to extract the 0th element leads to the error.
Always be careful with your choice of variable names!

Please answer my quesion. I get the following error after running this line of code
sm =sum(table2array(X));
Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

Possible guess... Is a(i) supposed to be a(j)? If you haven't otherwise set i to be an integer, it defaults to sqrt(-1), which cannot be used as an index. Same goes for j; check that it's an integer. Best practices in Matlab recommend avoiding i or j as indices for this very reason.

I predict that your j is 1 so j-1 is 0 which is not a valid index.

% c. x(t) = 3*exp(-2*t)u(t)
subplot (4,2,3)
y = 3*exp(-2*t).*(u(t));
plot (t,y,'-g','Linewidth', 2);
axis ([-1 5 -1 5]);
grid on;
xlabel ('t in sec');
ylabel ('x(t)');
title ('plot of (c)');
Here's my code and it says "Array indices must be positive integers or logical values". What should I do to fix it? Thank you.

Hola!
Tengo este error." Array indices must be positive integers or logical values."
Atenuacion=(k*R_001^alfa*u(p))*(R_001)^(0.38/Ls-0.25/(1+n(p/0.01)^(-0.36)*longitud^m)*Ls);
¿podriais ayudarme por favor?
Gracias,
Saludos

You have u(p) which is u(0.05). There is no 0.05'th element of a matrix. Only the 1st element, 2nd element, 3rd element, etc.

The section of code with n(p/0.01) also looks like it might be missing a multiplication operator. If it isn't and you intended p/0.01 to give you an integer value you can use as an index into n, you may encounter difficulties due to floating point arithmetic. Even if that expression did happen to give an integer value (or you called round to force it to give an integer value) as written unless that integer value is 1 you're asking for an element of n that doesn't exist.
x = 1;
y = x(2) % There is no second element

Hello, my code:
yoy(j,1)=100*(log(Real_Price(ii,1))-log(Real_Price(ii-4,1)));
every time I run it says 'Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.'
can you help me understand my problem?

MATLAB sees that you're trying to index into an array. Array indices must be real positive (nonzero) integers (or logicals). So:
Is the index jj a real, positive integer?
Is the index ii a real, positive integer?
Is ii>4 so that ii-4 is always positive?
Is log() still interpreted as a function, or have you created a variable with the same name?

Hello, why am I getting the "Array indices must be positive integers or logical values." error for the code below. I cleared the workspace so that shouldn't be a problem.
Vi = 0;
Vf = 1;
R = 1000;
C = 10 * 10^-6;
t = linspace(0,0.1,1001);
r = R*C;
V(t) = Vi + (Vf-Vi).*(1 - (2.72 .^(-t/r)));
Plot(t,V(t))

It is common to get confused between a formula and an array
A line such as
V(t) = Vi + (Vf-Vi).*(1 - (2.72 .^(-t/r)));
is typically intended to be a formula -- the left and right t are intended to refer to values
MATLAB does support creating formulas with that syntax, but only using the Symbolic Toolbox, such as
syms t
V(t) = Vi + (Vf-Vi).*(1 - (2.72 .^(-t/r)));
MATLAB would then refer to V as a "symbolic function".
MATLAB main support for creating formulas is for numeric formulas (that do not typically involve the Symbolic Toolbox). Those use a different syntax called "anonymous functions" that would look like
V = @(t) Vi + (Vf-Vi).*(1 - (2.72 .^(-t/r)));
In both the case of the "symbolic function" and this "anonymous function", V would become an object describing calculations that would be done if you pass values to the object, such as
V(3.2)
In both the symbolic function and the anonymous function, the t would refer to some indefinite value of t to be given value later, and the symbolic or anonymous function describes how to calculate the output in that future time when you finally get passed a specific value in place of t
But if you are not working with symbolic functions or anonymous functions (or some Object Oriented classes) then () is either for passing parameters to a function, or else for indexing. In the original code
t = linspace(0,0.1,1001);
V(t) = Vi + (Vf-Vi).*(1 - (2.72 .^(-t/r)));
you are working with definite numeric values for t not with a symbolic variable, so the right hand side is calculating definite numeric values, and the left side V(t) would be considered indexing.
Almost any time you have definite numeric values for t, V(t) on the left side of an assignment would be interpreted as an attempt to index. (There are some potential exceptions for Object Oriented classes.)
