Description

The MATBKSL block outputs the left matrix division. It is a solution to A*x=B. The higher input is the A matrix, the lower one is the B matrix, and the output is x. If A is an MxN1 matrix, B must be a MxN2 matrix where N1 and N2 can be different or equal. The output x is a N1xN2 matrix.

The equivalent of MATBKSL is backslash () ïn Scilab.

Dialog box

• Datatype (1=real double 2=Complex) It indicates the type of the output. It support only the two types double (1) and complex (2). If we input another entry in this label xcos will print the message “Datatype is not supported”. Properties : Type ‘vec’ of size 1.

Example

A=[1 7 3;23 32 29]
B=[21 18;13 10]
then the result of the A*x=B equation is (A\B):
x=[-4.504 -3.922;3.643 3.132;0.000 0.000]
