I ask for the numerical value and it gives me the expression

y = ilaplace(Egs, s, t);

when I put E(2), it gives me :

Answer 1

[Jan]

I assume "E(2)" is a typo and you mean "Eg(2)". Perhaps this works:

Value = Eg(2);
eval(Value)

Answer 2

[Sean de Wolski]

 double(ans)

perhaps?

or perhaps

doc subs

for s

[Jan]

"for s" ?!

Answer 3

[Mohamed Yassin OUKILA]

[EDIT: 20110616 10:05 CDT - reformat - WDR]

Actually It gives me

??? Error using ==> evalin
Undefined function or variable 's'.

Error in ==> sym.eval at 15
    s = evalin('caller',vectorize(map2mat(char(x))));

------------------------

I guess the problem is from a function called Erfi that I have download from Mathworks and It doesn't work with symbols. That's why I can't the "ilaplace". Here is the whole program:

%-------------------------------------

function ans=erfi(x)
% %erfi(x). The Imaginary error function, as it is defined in Mathematica
% %erfi(z)==erf(iz)/i (z could be complex) using 
% %the incomplete gamma function in matlab: gammainc
% %Using "@": erfi = @(x) real(-sqrt(-1).*sign(x).*gammainc(-x.^2,1/2))
% %Note: limit(x->0) erfi(x)/x -> 2/sqrt(pi)
%
% %Example 1: 
% x=linspace(0.001,6,100);
% y=exp(-x.^2).*erfi(x)./2./x;
% figure(1), clf;plot(x,y*sqrt(pi))
%
% %Example 2: 
% [x,y]=meshgrid(linspace(-3,3,180),linspace(-3,3,180));
% z=x+i*y;
% figure(1), clf;contourf(x,y,log(erfi(z)))
% axis equal;axis off
xc=5.7;%cut for asymptotic approximation (when x is real)
ans=~isreal(x).*(-(sqrt(-x.^2)./(x+isreal(x))).*gammainc(-x.^2,1/2))+...
    isreal(x).*real(-sqrt(-1).*sign(x).*((x<xc).*gammainc(-x.^2,1/2))+...
    (x>=xc).*exp(x.^2)./x/sqrt(pi));
