difference equation implementation in matlab

In MATLAB, difference equations can be implemented using the filter function. The filter function applies a digital filter to a signal and can be used to implement both recursive and non-recursive difference equations.

Here is an example of implementing a first-order difference equation in MATLAB:

main.m
% Define the coefficients of the difference equation
a = [1];  % Coefficients of y[n]
b = [1, -0.5];  % Coefficients of x[n] (with a delay of 1)

% Generate a sample input signal
x = randn(1, 100);

% Apply the filter to implement the difference equation
y = filter(b, a, x);

In this example, b contains the coefficients of the input signal x with a delay of 1 (basically the -0.5 term represents a delay of 1), and a contains the coefficients related to the current and past outputs y. The filter function then applies the difference equation to the input signal x.

You can define more complex difference equations by adjusting the coefficients in the b and a arrays accordingly.

Hope this helps!
