deconv
Deconvolution and polynomial division.
Category: Mathematics > Elementary Math
Syntax
[q, r] = deconv(v, u)
Divides v by u, returning the quotient q and the remainder r, so that v = conv(u, q) + r.
Description
deconv is long division of polynomials written as coefficient vectors, highest power first. It undoes conv: deconv(conv(u, q), u) returns q with a zero remainder. For example, dividing x^3 + 3x^2 + 5x + 3 by x + 1 gives x^2 + 2x + 3.
When the division is not exact, r is nonzero and holds the leftover terms.
Input arguments
v- Dividend: a vector (signal or polynomial coefficients).
u- Divisor: a vector whose first element is nonzero.
Output arguments
q- Quotient vector, of length
numel(v) - numel(u) + 1. r- Remainder, the same length as
v.
Example
Polynomial division
[q, r] = deconv([1 3 5 3], [1 1])
[q, r] = deconv([1 2 3 4], [1 1])
Output
q = 1×3
1 2 3
r = 1×4
0 0 0 0
q = 1×3
1 1 2
r = 1×4
0 0 0 2
