starting from the conservation of the energy
(1/2)*m*(L(a)*a')^2+ m*g*y=Cst (1)
by derivation I get the additional term with a delta function compared to the preceding differential equation,. Then replacing this delta function by exp(-x^2/2s^2)/sqrt(2*pi*s^2), for a small s, I get a more realistic simulation. The energy is (almost) conserved (except near a=0), I should try to solve the first order differential equation (1) perhaps I will get a better result ...

I try to simulate an asymmetric pendulum, which length L(alpha) is l for alpha>0 and l/2 for alpha<0. I though the situation can be described by the differential equation :
L(alpha)*alpha'' +g*sin(alpha)=0
but when I plot the total energy over the time
E= (1/2)*m*(L(alpha)*alpha')^2+m*g*y
it is not constant !?! So I probably loose some term in the equation ...

Now #scilab accept anonymous functions definition with a syntax close to #matlab #gnuoctave , this make translation between this langages easier. For example :

f=@(t) exp(-t.^2); %% octave syntax
f=#(t) -> (exp(-t.^2)); // scilab syntax

@jbowen

I have only used Octave in Machine Learning courses

With my low usage of it, I have seen it as super close equivalent to Scilab

Do you know if (and why) one is preferred over the other? #octave #scilab

#vacancesdeprof avant de me lancer dans la correction de copies j'ai décidé de m'inscrire à un #mooc sur l'analyse de données car je vais devoir monter un cours sur le sujet (cours dont personne ne veut apriori donc ça tombe sur moi pour avoir mon service) :

https://www.fun-mooc.fr/fr/cours/analyse-des-donnes-multidimensionnelles/

Toujours intéressant d'approfondir un sujet qu'on a juste effleuré et puis c'est l'occasion de refaire de l'analyse en composantes principale et de jolies visualisations (avec #scilab bien sûr!)
#mathematiques

Analyse des données multidimensionnelles

Ce cours vise à comprendre, mettre en oeuvre et interpréter les résultats des méthodes fondamentales d'analyse exploratoire multidimensionnelle des données : ACP, AFC, ACM, classification et AFM.
