MATLAB Matlab function plotting. A continuous step function

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a request for assistance with plotting a simple equation in MATLAB, specifically involving a rational series of prime numbers divided by their corresponding W values. The user mentions primes such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and expresses confusion over the mathematical expressions shared in the thread. Key points of confusion include the meaning of the equations presented, particularly the notation and definitions of variables like P, a, and w. The lack of clarity in the mathematical representation leads to frustration, ultimately resulting in the closure of the thread.

i could use a bit of tutelage with Matlab. I have a rather simple equation I would like to plot. I want to create a rational series of primes divided by their corresponding W value from the equation I have. P are primes 2,3,5,7,11,13... I am still working on this. Thanks

None of what you posted makes much sense, from what I can see.
What is a "rational series of primes divided by their corresponding W value"?

The first few lines of what you posted are:
##P = \frac a {(2, 3, \dots, a - 1)} \ne 0## What does this mean?
##p(x) = (2, 3, 5, 7, 11) \in P, (1, 5)## I have no idea what this means, either.
##a_0 = 0, ~a_1 = 1, ~a_2 = 2, \dots, a_{n + 1}## Not enough information to figure out what ##a_{n + 1}## is supposed to be.
##w_0 = 0##
##w_1 = w_0 + a_1 = 1##
You lost me on ##w_2##, and things really go downhill from there.
