How to get the coefficients of an equation

4 views (last 30 days)
Dear all,
Is it possible to extract the coefficients of an equantion defined as below:
syms x1 x2
eq = 2*x1 + x2 <= 0
eq = 
By using coeffs and sym2poly did not work when it has the relational operator "<=".
c = coeffs(eq)
c = 
1
c = sym2poly(eq)
Error using sym/sym2poly
Not a polynomial.

How about -
syms x1 x2
eq = 2*x1 + x2 <= 0
eq = 
out = flip(coeffs(lhs(eq)))
out =

Good solution!
This way I can also have the term in the right side
syms x1 x2
eq = 2*x1 + x2 <= 5
eq = 
out = flip(coeffs(rhs(eq)))
out = 
5
Thanks!

Maybe it is appropriate to work in a reverse order, e.g.:
syms x1 x2
Coeff = [2;1];
eq = [x1, x2]*Coeff<=0
eq =
