Find definite integrals for the expressions listed as the elements of a matrix

1 view (last 30 days)
I have a matrix populated with symbolic expressions in 2 variables. I would like to carry out a definite surface integral of each expression and keep the results in the same matrix format. A dummy code below:
%Clear variables and cmd window
clear;
clc;
%Define symbolic variables
syms x y;
K_unintegrated = syms(zeros(2));
%Populate K_unintegrated matrix with expressions of 2 variables
K_unintegrated(1,1) = x^2;
K_unintegrated(1,2) = x*y;
K_unintegrated(2,1) = y*x;
K_unintegrated(2,2) = y^2;
%Display K_unintegrated matrix
K_unintegrated
%Attempt surface integral of each expression in the matrix (should
%hopefully give a fully numeric matrix)
K=int(int(K_unintegrated,x=0..2),y=0..2)
I get the following error:
Error: File: example.m Line: 20 Column: 27 The expression to the left of the equals sign is not a valid target for an assignment.
The Mathworks site gives the following info:
Find indefinite integrals for the expressions listed as the elements of a matrix: syms x t z alpha = sym('alpha'); int([exp(t), exp(alpha*t)]) The result is: ans = [ exp(t), exp(alpha*t)/alpha]
This is very much what I would like to do, except I want to evaluate the definite integral of each matrix element.
How can I achieve this in the most efficient way possible?

K=int(int(K_unintegrated,x,0,2),y,0,2)
The syntax you found is only within MuPAD
