I am new to matlab. There's a small thing that I am not aware of: why the integration block in simulink has the symbol as 1/s?
thanks for reading.

The Laplace transform of [tex] \int_0^t f(\tau) d\tau [/tex] is equal to [tex] \frac{1}{s} F(s) [/tex], where F(s) is the Laplace transform of f(t). Thus integration in the time domain is equal to multiplication by [tex] \frac{1}{s} [/tex] in the s-domain.

Thank you las3riock. It's clear now.

(Another small question: how can you paste the formulas in the pages here? )
 

1. What is the integration block in Matlab?

The integration block in Matlab is a function that is used to perform numerical integration. It takes in a mathematical expression and calculates the area under the curve for a specific range of values.

2. How do I use the integration block in Matlab?

To use the integration block in Matlab, you need to first define the function you want to integrate. Then, you can use the "integrate" function to calculate the integral. You can also specify the range of values for the integration.

3. Can the integration block handle different types of integration?

Yes, the integration block in Matlab can handle different types of integration, such as single integrals, double integrals, and triple integrals. It can also handle definite and indefinite integrals.

4. Are there any limitations to using the integration block in Matlab?

One limitation of using the integration block in Matlab is that it can only handle functions with a finite number of discontinuities. It also may not give accurate results for functions with extremely steep slopes or complex shapes.

5. How can I improve the accuracy of the integration block in Matlab?

To improve the accuracy of the integration block in Matlab, you can decrease the step size or increase the number of integration points. You can also use a more accurate integration method, such as the Simpson's rule or Gaussian quadrature.
