This part is included in a function called myf2(w,k):
function f= myf2(w,k)
i = sqrt(-1);
fm = @(x) (1/sqrt(2*pi))* exp(-x.^2/2);
dfm = @(x) -x.*fm(x);
fun = @(x) dfm(x) / (x-w/k);
w0 = max(imag(w/k),0);
a = -10+w0*i;
b = 10+w0*i;
N = 100;
R = dfm(w/k);
x = linspace(a,b,N+1);
syms wn x
wn = sym(zeros(1, N)); % <------- Something is wrong here
f_int = int(fun, x, a, b);
A = vpa(f_int);
f = k^2 - A - 2*pi*i*R;
return
This is where I call the function:
for ix = 1:Nx
for iy = 1:Ny
z = x(ix) + I*y(iy);
tmp = myf2(z,k);
f(ix,iy) = abs(tmp);
end
end
After this I'm getting an error! Please help me out!

In some cases you could hope that the singularity is "removable" to permit a Cauchy Principle Value to be calculated. However in cases where the function goes continuously to infinity, the singularity has no hope of being removable unless it is the same sign of infinity on both sides of the singularity. The singularity that I encounter with random data with of the form (expression in x) / (linear expression in x) and that has infinities with different sign as the linear expression becomes 0, so the singularity cannot be removed.
In other words, in the case I encountered, no integration was possible. The "approximately close answer" was undefined.
If you post your revised code and post values for x, y, I, and k so that we can test, then we can have another look.

Do you have to perform symbolically? Does not look like the integral exists. Why not numerically?
function f= myf2(w,k)
dfm =@(x) -x.*(1/sqrt(2*pi)).* exp(-x.^2/2);
fun =@(x) -x.*(1/sqrt(2*pi)).* exp(-x.^2/2)./ (x-w/k);
w0 = max(imag(w./k),0);
a = -10+w0*1i;
b = 10+w0*1i;
R = dfm(w./k);
A = integral(fun,a,b);
f = k^2 - A - 2*pi*1i*R;
end

What error? If your exact answer has 'int' out in front, then it has not really been integrated symbolically.
