scalar-valued multivariate function in matlab

To create a scalar-valued multivariate function in MATLAB, you can define a function that takes in multiple inputs and returns a single output. Here's an example of a scalar-valued multivariate function that computes the sum of squares of two variables x and y:

main.m
function z = myMultivariateFunction(x, y)
    z = x^2 + y^2;
end

In this function myMultivariateFunction, x and y are the inputs, and z is the output which is the sum of squares of x and y.

You can call this function with appropriate inputs to get the computed scalar value. For example:

main.m
result = myMultivariateFunction(3, 4);
disp(result);  % Output will be 25 (3^2 + 4^2)

You can modify the function to perform any desired computation based on your requirements.
