You will need to convert between the Maple syntax and MATLAB syntax to create an anonymous function in MATLAB from a Maple symbolic matrix.. The following code creates a test symbolic matrix:
syms r l f
x = r*cos(l)*cos(f); y = r*cos(l)*sin(f); z = r*sin(l);
J = jacobian([x; y; z], [r l f])
The character string you create should begin with an open square bracket '[', and end with a closed square bracket ']'. Insert commas ',' between consecutive elements of the same row, and use semicolons ';' to end a row. Be aware that not all the syntax is the same from the symbolic functions in the Maple kernel to MATLAB functions, so you may have to translate between certain functions. An example is Maple's "arctan" function versus MATLABs "atan" function. You can use MATLABs STRREP function to translate between Maple and MATLAB functions which have the same function but different names.
The following is an example of how you could implement the translation between symbolic and character representation, when you have a symbolic matrix:
newstring = '[';
for i=1:M
for j=1:N
newstring = [newstring char(J(i,j)) ' '];
end
newstring = [newstring '; '];
end
newstring = newstring(1:end-3); %remove trailing punctuation
newstring = [newstring ']'];
You can use the EVAL function to create an anonymous function from the 'newstring' variable:
eval(['myfun = @(r,l,f) ' newstring])
You can now use MYFUN as a MATLAB function.
