MATLAB Efficient MATLAB Code for Recursive Functions: Expert Tips and Tricks

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around programming a recursive function in MATLAB. The user seeks assistance with implementing a specific equation and is advised to create a 2D matrix of size k, which can be defined as a parameter in the function. Initial values should be seeded in the matrix, and the use of for or while loops is recommended to effectively handle the recursion. Helpful resources from MathWorks are provided to guide the implementation process.

Hello,

I have the following equation, and I want to program it using MATLAB. But it is a recursive function, and it seems that I can not handle it well. So please if anyone can help, I will be thankful.

I would suggest you create a 2D matrix of size k (whatever that happens to be / you choose it to be--maybe this is a parameter that your function takes in?), seed the initial values given, and then make copious use of the for or while loops in MATLAB:
