So in this case, the forward and backward difference equations of O h 2 for the first derivative Eqs. We demonstrate, in the next few paragraphs, the use of these equations at the four boundaries of a rectangular-shaped object. This has 63 total and 35 internal grid points. Rearranging Eq. This is demonstrated by the computational representation of Fig.
The number in each circle is the coefficient of that point in the difference equation 8. Applying Eqs. The computational representation for the three-dimensional elliptic equation is shown in Fig. Example 8. Dynamics of a membrane subject to tension and pressure.
The cochlea has two compartments filled with fluid separated by the basilar membrane. The upper compartment corresponds to the vestibular canal, and the lower compartment to the timpanic canal. External pressure applied to the ear may cause displacement of the basilar membrane.

The student is encouraged to experiment with other plotting options, longer integration times, and different boundary conditions. Partial differential equations may be classified as elliptic, parabolic, or hyperbolic. To obtain the numerical solution of a artial differential equation, the partial derivatives may be replaced by finite difference approximations, thus converting the problem of solving a PDE to that of solving a set of algebraic equations.
The boundary conditions of the partial differential equation play a major role in determining the form of the solution.
Calculate the concentration at the midpoint of the cylinder after h for the following cases if the cylinder is suddenly immersed in turbulent pure water.
Since the cylinder is long, you may ignore axial diffusion. This process is shown diagrammatically on Fig. The drug first diffuses through the medium of delivery of thickness, Lm. These two equations are coupled at the boundary between the medium of delivery and the skin. The drug is finally absorbed in the receptor cell. Medium of delivery Receptor cell Skin ["! The three large black regions in Fig. A comparison of Figs. Problems like these are in the broad area of image processing and medical image analysis.
In practice, it is neither feasible nor possible to collect data from every member of a population e. Instead, data is collected from a sample, and the results are used to make generalizations about the population, as shown diagrammatically in Fig. Statistical inference Figure 9. Some additional terms are used to describe inferential statistics.
A population is the collection of all objects or subjects, such as people, animals, cells or molecules. A sample is a subset of the population that is used to collect measurements. A population parameter is a characteristic of the population and is unknown at the time measurements are made.
A sample statistic is an estimate of the population parameter computed from the data collected on the sample. Since the sample statistic can change if different samples are used, the sampling distribution describes how the sample statistic changes with respect to sample. Inferential statistics are used to determine whether a sample statistic is a "good" estimate of the population parameter. Each and every estimate has two properties: amount and assuredness.
The "amount" of the relationship tells how well the sample statistic predicts the population parameter. The "assuredness" is a quantity that indicates how well one can say that the sample statistic applies to all possible sets of similar measurements. If the measurements are collected and attention is given to a well-defined standard procedure, then this quantity represents how sure we are that the relationship seen in the sample of measurements holds in all possible samples of measurements.
It would then be safe to conclude that the observed variations 9. There are two procedures for inferring relationships between variables: parameter estimation and hypothesis testing. In parameter estimation, a quantity that characterizes the relationship is computed from the sample amount and a confidence interval assuredness is constructed that tells the possible range of values of this parameter.
A large confidence interval suggests that it is more likely that the range includes the population parameter. A small confidence interval suggests that the true population parameter can be determined very well. A general formula for computing a confidence interval for a population parameter from sample statistics is: statistic 9. The term Gb represents the basal level of glucose in the blood; if the glucose concentration is less than the basal level, glucose enters the blood and if the concentration rises above this level then glucose leaves the plasma compartment.
The basal levels are typically measured before the administration of the glucose in a GTT. The second equation expresses that insulin enters, or leaves, the interstitial tissues at rates k2 or k3, respectively. Insulin enters the interstitial tissues if the plasma insulin concentration rises above the basal level Ib, and insulin leaves the interstitial tissues if the plasma level falls below the basal level.
Example Use Simulink to solve the system of equations To use Eqs. Van Riel rewrites the second of Eqs. While there is flexibility in using the script to vary the parameters or the insulin profile, a set of MATLAB scripts and a Simulink implementation make for easier documentation of the different model systems.
The gain boxes serve as multipliers by the constants kl, Si and k3, respectively, rather than using a multiplier box and a constant for each. The Simulink model is shown in Fig. The key to making this simulation work is the "From Workspace" block, which is in source of the insulin profile I t. The source for a "From Workspace" block is a 2D array, with the time points in the first column and the values in the second.
For this problem, the array is Since the time step of the simulator must be a constant, it is necessary to indicate to Simulink that it must interpolate the missing values. Also, in the event that the input is shorter than the simulation, the "From Workspace" block provides the ability to specify what to do for the missing data.
These source sampling parameters are specified in the block parameters, shown in Fig. Form output after final data value by: Holding final value I I I ,,,,.
Figure Lastly, change the simulation parameters to start at 0. The simulation output is shown in the three scopes Figs. Notice that the glucose concentration dips below the basal level at approximately one hour after the glucose intake and subsequent insulin release. If the glucose level is normal, but the patient exhibits these signs, then the condition is referred to as postprandial syndrome.
The same model can also be used to simulate glucose regulation in a diabetic. The interstitial insulin concentration is shown in Fig. This simulation shows a profile that would be diagnosed as pre-diabetes, or impaired glucose tolerance. The volume of plasma measured is that volume for which a given substance e. There are a number of techniques for evaluating renal kinetics, some of which are based on measuring radionuclide concentration over time from urine and plasma; plasma alone; or using a gamma camera to measure isotope concentration in the kidneys as the isotope is extracted from the plasma.
Renal function is assessed by comparing clinical measurements to simulation results based on a model of normal kinetics. The last two of the three cases are easiest to model with only two compartments, central and peripheral. One such two-compartment model was described by Estelberger and Popper In that model, there are two functionally separated spaces, a well-perfused central volume and a less-perfused peripheral compartment. The marker kinetics, measured indirectly from the time course of radionuclide concentration in the two compartments, is the result of the isotope injection, the transport between the two compartments, and the renal elimination process.
You do not need to type it. To view the workspace and information about each variable, use the workspace browser, or use the commands who and whos in the Command Window. This will open the Array Editor see Fig. Current Directory not open in Fig. Point the mouse on any of these commands and click the right button to see the options available: Copy, Evaluate Selection, Create M-file, and Delete. Any of the commands in the Command History window may be executed again by dragging the command from the Command History and dropping it on the Command Window.
It is used to enter variables, execute functions, and run M-files. Access the Profiler from the Desktop menu, or use the profile function. This opens the window shown on Fig. Text display Users can add additional folders that contain their own files. Caution should be exercised in naming new M-files. If a file is named with an identical name as one already existing in MATLAB, the file that is found first during the search of the path will be executed.
It is good practice to avoid duplicating names, and to add the users' folders to the bottom of the path. All changestake effect immediately. Also, the variable p i represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter i.
The precision of the calculation is independent of the formatted display. The results of calculation are normally displayed, or printed, with only five significant digits. If you need to recall a specific command that has been used already, just type its first letter or first few letters and then use the up arrow key to locate that command.
For this reason, the student is strongly advised not to place blanks in names of directories and in the names of Mfiles. A scalar number is a 1 x 1 array, a row vector is a 1 x n array, and a column vector is a n x 1 array. Multidimensional matrices i. The notation used is M row, column, page, The third dimension is called page, but no generic names are given to the higher dimensions. Array indices must be integer numbers greater than or equal to 1.

The following commands create a 2 x 1 array of frames and place the first plot in frame 1 and the second in frame 2 see Fig. It is possible to use more than one graphics window by using the f i g u r e n command, where n is a positive integer. A 3-D curve can be shown by the p l o t 3 command: A. Surfaces can be shown in many ways.
Let us use x, y, and z variables from the previous section. We can show different z-levels on an x-y system of coordinates by its contour lines Fig. The figures in MATLAB may be edited, rotated, zoomed, and modified using the menus in the graphics window, as described in the next section.
You can create plots from scratch and visualize your data quickly. You can also automatically generate the code to create the plot again with new data. Interactive plot creation and editing is performed by using the plot tools, which are launched from the figure window toolbar, as shown in Fig. You can launch the plot tools after opening a blank figure window. However, it is more likely that you will turn them on after creating an initial plot by selecting and plotting from the workspace browser or array editor, from a plotting function entered at the command window, or even from an existing.
The plot tools provide point-and-click functionality that enables you to: 9 Drag and drop new data sets onto the figure 9 Add new subplot axes 9 Change object properties 9 Add annotations and draw shapes In MATLAB 7, you can generate an M-code function from the graphic you created with plot tools or with plotting functions entered at the command line. You do this by choosing Generate M-file A practical method for beginners to create a script is using diary.
For example, you can type the statements of the script developed above, see the results at each step, and make corrections if necessary. Delete the unnecessary commands and output, and save it as an M-file.
A function takes in some data as input, performs the required calculations, and returns the results of calculations back to the command that invoked the function. As an example, let us write a function to do the ideal gas volume calculations that we have already done in a script.
The first set of continuous A. You can now use this function in the workspace, in a script, or in another function. Either one may be executed from the Command Window or from another script by invoking it by name. These structures are i f , switch, for, and while, which we describe briefly below. We do not show the results of each operation. It is left as an exercise to the student to use these commands in sample programs and observe the results: -The i f control structure enables the p r o g r a m t o make decision about what commands to execute.
For example" switch. Only one variable may be displayed at a time. The uses of these characters are described in Table A. The students should format the commands in a way that presents their data and results in an informative and easy-to-read display, appropriate for the problem at hand.
Insignificant zeros do not print. The following saves only the variable a in the file f2. To see all the different ways that save may be used, give the command help save.
For example, open the Editor and enter the values of the vector variable y as a column of numbers: 0. Another way of reading the data is by using the open open command: y. It gives you the opportunity to specify how the data are formatted before they are read into the workspace.
Figure A. Press the Next button,to see the following window Fig. Finish I Figure A. Pressing the F i n i s h button will complete the task of loading y. Spreadsheet files, such as Excel files, may also be read this way, including column and row headings. Also, try using the commands commands read the file: open xy. This toolbox enables the student to perform computations using symbolic mathematics and variable-precision arithmetic.
Only a few examples of the symbolic math commands will be given in this Appendix. These toolboxes are optional, and may be licensed separately from MathWorks, Inc. Toolboxes related to the topics of this textbook are listed in Table A.
Table A. Hahn, B. Lyshevski, S. Simulink is a visual programming language and environment: functions either built in or user defined, are represented as blocks and the data passed between functions are represented as lines. Input and output devices are also available, in addition to the broad range of functions. In this tutorial, we will introduce the basics of using Simulink to model and simulate a system using some of the numerical methods from this text.
Simulation of dynamic systems has proved to be immensely useful when it comes to control design, saving time and money that would otherwise be spent in prototyping a physical system. The main advantage of Simulink is that it is a visual programming environment allowing the user to rapidly prototype a simulation and immediately see the results.
Concept of signal and logic flow In Simulink, the data flow between blocks functions is specified by lines connecting the output of one block to the next.
The final output can then be dumped into sinks, such as scopes and displays, or saved to a file. Data can be connected from one block to another, branched, or multiplexed. During a simulation, data is processed and transferred only at discrete simulation time steps otherwise called integration time steps.
The selection of a time step is determined by the fastest dynamics in the simulated system. In the following sections, the different blocks that are available are explained. Simulink button t, Figure B. The Simulink Library Browser will appear in a separate window. This window has three panes identified as A, B, and C in Fig. Pane A is a directory-like listing of the Simulink blocks available in your system; for each category listing, the blocks available will appear in pane B.
The definition of a block that has been selected will appear in pane C that is above panes A and B. Simulink block diagrams are created and edited in a worksheet; to open a new worksheet, press the new worksheet button on the Simulink Library Browser toolbar, as shown in Fig.
A simple, but illustrative example block diagram can be created using only three blocks. A model is created by dragging blocks from the browser and dropping them into the worksheet. To create a model that displays a sinusoid with period 2;r, drag the following three blocks from the browser to the empty worksheet: 1.
The Sine Wave block from the Sources category. The Scope block from the Sinks category. The Gain block from the Math Operations category. Figure B. Connecting the blocks For the example system, to display a sinusoid with period 2It, the signal output by the Sine Wave block is connected to the input of the Gain block.
The Gain block amplifies this signal and outputs the amplified signal to the Scope block, which displays the signal, as a function of time, in a separate figure. Lines connecting the output of the Sine Wave block to the input of the Gain block, and from the output of the Gain block to the input of the Scope block Fig. Lines are drawn by dragging the mouse from where a signal starts output terminal of a block to where it ends input terminal of another block.
When drawing B. Simulink will turn the mouse pointer into a crosshair when it is close enough enough to an output terminal to begin drawing a line, and the pointer will change into a double crosshair when it is close enough to snap to an input terminal.
A signal is properly connected if its arrowhead is filled in. If the arrowhead is open, the signal is not connected to both blocks.
To fix an open signal, treat the open arrowhead as an output terminal and continue drawing the line to an input terminal in the same manner as explained before. The completed block diagram is shown in Fig. The block is dragged to a Simulink worksheet. Table B. Duplicate block s in a model Hold down the CTRL key and select the block s with the left mouse button, then drag the block s to a new location. Use the left button on the mouse to drag the line while holding down the SHIFT key Running the simulation To start the simulation, pull down the simulation menu on the worksheet and press the start menu entry, or type control-T as indicated.
Because the example is a simple model, its simulation runs almost instantaneously. With more complicated systems, however, you will be able to see the progress of the simulation by observing its running time in the lower box of the model window.
When the simulation has ended, the result can be seen by double-clicking on the scope to view the output of the Gain block. The output of the simulation is amplitude as a function of time. Once the Scope window appears, click the "Autoscale" button in the toolbar looks like a pair of binoculars to scale the graph to better fit the window. The output appears in a separate window, as shown in Fig. Once the blocks are connected, they can be repositioned for a neater appearance.
This is done by clicking on and dragging each block to its desired location signals will stay properly connected and will re-route themselves. In some models, it will be necessary to branch a signal so that it is transmitted to two or more different input terminals.
This is done by first placing the mouse cursor at the location from where the signal is to branch. Then, using either the CTRL key in conjunction with the left mouse button, or just the right mouse button, drag the new line to its intended destination.
This method was used to construct the branch in the Sine Wave output signal shown in Fig. The Scope blocks were renumbered as Scope 1 and Scope 2 by clicking the mouse on the name of the block and making the appropriate changes. Eile E.. M I Vl Sine Wave. Vl 3ain Scope1 P. To change the gain of the Gain block above, first double-click on the Gain block and change the gain to be two, as shown in Fig.
The output is shown in Fig. Notice that the amplitude of the sine wave shown in Scope 1 is 2, the result of having the gain block in the path from the generator. The signal shown in Scope 2 has amplitude 1, since it is directly the output of the signal generator.
The scope output of a 20 second simulation is shown in Fig. IO Twenty second simulation of the model in Fig. In Simulink, as well as other simulations packages, such variables are referred to as states. Computing the outputs requires saving the state at each time step in order to compute the next output value s.
In Simulink, a block that needs some or all of its previous outputs to compute its current output implies that there are states that need to be saved. Simulink performs these tasks automatically if the model has state variables.
Understanding the notion of states and state solvers becomes important when selecting a numerical method for simulating a model or equivalently, solving an ordinary differential equation, or ODE. There are two types of states that can occur in a Simulink model: continuous or discrete states. If the model has continuous states, then one of the ODE solvers described in Chapter 7 can be used; if the model has only discrete states, then the discrete solver can be used in the simulation.
A Simulink model with a continuous state is one where some computation is performed to compute a derivative, and then this derivative is integrated. The output of the integrator is used to compute the next value of the derivative. Simulink models will use integrator blocks continuous menu , as well as a set of blocks to compute the derivative. This approach to building a model is sometime referred to as the statespace approach.
The chain of blocks that are the input to the integrator block represent an ODE. The accuracy of the simulation performed by Simulink will depend on the step size and the ODE solver used. A discrete state is one where the output can be computed at finite intervals. Simulink includes two discrete solvers: a fixed-step and a variable-step discrete solver.
The former is used to update the state periodically, and the latter is used to update the state aperiodically, or in a manner that ensures that all discrete states are updated.
As the discrete step size approaches zero, the discrete state approaches a continuous state. From the same menu where the simulation duration is changed, the ODE solver used in the simulation can be changed as well. The choices for ODE solvers for continuous state systems are given in Table 7. Prior to simulation, Simulink examines the model to determine whether it has continuous or discrete states. Since the model in Fig. As expected, there is no difference, since there is no continuous state in the model.
The reader is referred to the Simulink help for information on these parameters. This pane is organized much like a directory browser; if additional Simulink toolboxes are available in your installation, the toolbox name will appear in the same list as the standard Simulink library.
The blocks are categorized in subheading below the toolbox listing. The blocks in each category are displayed in the lower right-hand pane and shown in the figures below for each category. The main categories of blocks available are: The Sources category, shown in Fig.
The signal generators include constants, periodic functions, noise and time stamps. There are three subcategories: Model and Subsystem Outputs transferring signals to other models ; Data Viewers including scopes ; and Simulation Control stopping the simulation. The other category that we have already used are the Math Operations.
To understand the impact of changing the ODE solver, it was necessary to introduce the concepts of continuous and discrete states in modeled systems. Any model that includes one or more of these blocks will require a continuous state ODE solver Table 7. The category of Commonly Used Blocks is handy to use and it contains many of the blocks that can be used to build even moderately sophisticated models.
The bracket notation is used to indicate that the parameters are on a bus, where two signals are combined as the output of one block and they are separated as the input to the second block using the input and output notation of a subsystem Fig. Although GUIDE is a very powerful tool for creating user interfaces to complex models, its use is beyond the scope of this book. Heart Lung L. F-T-I o i, Parameters can be changed or reset before a simulation is run.
The output is generated on the right, where a bus is created carrying P2o and t2o. The output, for a simulation using the predefined parameters is shown on the two scopes labeled Heart Pressure and Heart Volume in Fig. No parameters where changed in this simulation. The floating scope is used by opening the scope, opening the signal selector, and checking the box to the left of each signal to be displayed.
The left pane of the Signal Selector shows the hierarchy of models, and the right pane shows the signals within the subsystem selected. The box F2 is checked to display signal F2 on the floating scope.
Open the floating scope and its signal selector and, in turn, go to each of the three subsystems and select the pressure signals. Close the Signal Selector and run the simulation. The Floating Scope output is shown in Fig. The blood pressure in the trunk is relatively constant and higher than that in the head or legs.
The purpose of this Appendix is to introduce components of Simulink models and to show how the most elementary can be used to solve even relatively complex problems such as simulating the transport in the cardiovascular system.
McLeod J, Matrix multiplication between A and B is allowed if A has the same number of columns as the number of rows of B. When this condition is satisfied, then A and B are said to be conformable. The multiplication of the matrix A, that has m x n elements, with matrix B, of n x p elements, results in a matrix with m rows and p columns that has an order of m x p. It should be noted that to an element-by-element product of two matrices is denoted by the.
An identity, or unit matrix, is one whose diagonal elements are all unity and the rest of the elements are zero. An identity matrix is always symmetric and square. Note also that the inverse of the product of two matrices is the reverse product of the inverses of the two matrices: AB -1 - B-1A-1 The rank of a matrix A is defined as the order of the largest nonsingular square matrix within A. Then, the rank of the largest square submatrix within A is m, provided the m x m submatrix is nonsingular, that is, the determinant of the m x m submatrix is nonzero.
The matrix A is said to have eigenvalue 2 and eigenvector x if and only if: Ax - 2x which can also be expressed as: A-AI x- 0 To find 2 and the corresponding vector x requires the solution of the homogeneous set of equations shown above. The homogeneous problem above has nontrivial solutions if the determinant of A - II , also called the characteristic matrix, equals zero. The elimination process transforms the original matrix A into an upper triangular matrix U.
The lower triangular matrix L is formed by placing the negatives of the multipliers in the appropriate positions, as illustrated below. At the second stage, we find U22 and then the remainder of the second row of U and the second column of L. This procedure is continued till all the elements of U and L are determined.
A general algorithm is summarized below: in what follows, the MATLAB colon : notation is used to represent a row or column. The function call [ r. This function uses only the diagonal and upper triangular part of A, as demonstrated below.
The interested student is encouraged to read more on the subject in any of the numerous texts available on linear algebra. Appendix D: Analytical Solutions of Differential Equations This appendix is a summary of methods used to obtain analytical solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations.
It is not meant to be a complete treatise of such methods, but rather a brief review for the benefit of the student. It is assumed that the student has already had a calculus course in ordinary differential equations, where methods for obtaining analytical solutions to such differential equations have been covered in detail.
It is unlikely, however, that the undergraduate student will be familiar with analytical methods for partial differential equations. For this reason, the student is encouraged to review the material in this Appendix. Get BOOK.
