In MATLAB, the smallest positive, normalized element (ε0 ) can be calculated using the following code:
main.m4 chars2 lines
The output of the above code will give you the value of epsilon, which is the smallest positive number that can be represented in the floating-point system used by MATLAB.
Note that the value of epsilon is a function of the specific floating-point system that is used by the computer.
