To generate a random matrix of a specific determinant in MATLAB, use the det
function along with the randn
function. randn
generates a matrix with normally distributed random numbers, and the determinant can be adjusted by multiplying the matrix with a scalar value. Here's an example code snippet that generates a random 3x3 matrix with a determinant of 10:
main.m635 chars27 lines
Note that the generated matrix may not always be exactly the target determinant due to the random number generation process, so the code uses a loop to generate a matrix until the determinant matches the target value.
