Algebraic simplification - MATLAB simplify
https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/simplify.htmlThis MATLAB function performs algebraic simplification of expr. In most cases, to simplify a symbolic expression using Symbolic Math Toolbox™, you only need to use the simplify function. But for some large and complex expressions, you can obtain a faster and simpler result by using the expand function before applying simplify.. For instance, this workflow gives better results …
Matrix determinant - MATLAB det
https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/det.htmlA = eye (10)*0.0001; The matrix A has very small entries along the main diagonal. However, A is not singular, because it is a multiple of the identity matrix. Calculate the determinant of A. d = det (A) d = 1.0000e-40. The determinant is extremely small. A tolerance test of the form abs (det (A)) < tol is likely to flag this matrix as singular.
