micmac

Returns the vectors of indirect influences and indirect dependences and the matrix of indirect influences according with the MICMAC method.

Calling Sequence

micmac(D,k) // Show the vector of indirect influences, always needs the parameters D and k.
[T,d,f]=micmac(D,k) // Show the vector of indirect influences f, the vector of indirect dependences d and the matrix T of indirect influences.

Parameters

k:

Value of the parameter for the MICMAC method, look the bibliography.

D:

Matrix of direct influences.

f:

Name of the variable to store the indirect influences vector.

d:

Name of the variable to store the indirect dependences vector.

T:

Name of the variable to store the indirect influences matrix.

Description

This function gives the vector of indirect influences and dependences and the matrix of indirect influences of a given matrix of direct influences according with the MICMAC method. If the matrix of direct influences has polynomial entries the function asks for a time parameter. For more info look the bibliography.

Examples

D = [1 0 1;0 0 0;0 0 6] // Define the matrix of direct influences.
[T,d,f] = micmac(D,2)  // Returns the matrix of indirect influences T, the vector of indirect dependences d and the vector of indirect influences f.
[T,d,f] = micmac(D,3)  // The same as above but with k equal to 3.
t=poly(0,'t')  // Define the variable t.
D = [t 1-t;t^2 1] // Define a 2x2 matrix with polynomial entries.
[T,d,f] = micmac(D,1) // Apply the MICMAC method to matrix D, the function ask for a time parameter.
