Previously, we showed how to perform a random walk in one dimension and in two dimensions using MATLAB’s rand function. Now let’s look at the general case, where the user can specify d > 1 dimensions and n >= 1 step. Here’s a sample gif of how...

Previously we described what a random walk is and demonstrated some simple code to perform this walk in one dimensional space. Today we will provide some simple code for how to perform such a walk in two-dimensional space. In the following post, we’ll...

We’re going to do a series of posts on Matlabgeeks to demonstrate how MATLAB is a wonderful option for running simulations. As a precursor to this, let’s look at a stochastic process known as a random walk. Briefly, such a process, in one-dimensional...

Previously we had shown how to check if a two dimensional point is within a convex polygon. Now let’s look at the general case, where the polygon can be either convex or non-convex. To do so, we’ll use the ray casting algorithm. Briefly, this algorithm...
