i run this code, but get this message Error using surf X, Y, Z, and C cannot be complex error, any idea what is wrong?
clc
theta5=[0:0.2:pi];
theta4=[0:0.2:pi];
for M=1:length(theta4)
for N=1:length(theta5)
H(M,N)=cos(theta4(M))*sin(theta5(N));
end
end
[X,Y]=meshgrid(theta4,theta5);
surf(Y,X,H)

Hi
The problem is not in solving
x = 0:0.8:pi;
A = sin(x).^(1/3)
B = cos(x).^(1/3)
the operator
.^
solves for either real or complex.
The problem lays in the fact that surf doesn't take in complex values.
To solve the long expression of H, since you are dealing with complex numbers, you have to plot 2 surfs, not one: Real and Imaginary, or Modulus and Phase

Thanks Dikra
if you capture the handles returned by function surf, for instance with:
figure(1);h_abs=surf(X,Y,abs(H));
figure(2);h_ang=surf(X,Y,angle(H));
then you can read the resulting surface point directly
Habs_x=h_abs.XData
Habs_y=h_abs.YData
Habas_z=h_abs.ZData
Hang_x=h_ang.XData
Hang_y=h_ang.YData
Hang_z=h_ang.ZData
also it is possible to change surface and edges transparency. If the surface is too dark, sometimes it's because of the high density of edges really close each other. Then the common practice is:
h_abs.EdgeColor='none' % horse seat
h_ang.EdgeColor='none' % pickeman helmet

Your code runs for me without error.
A more efficient approach would be:
theta5=[0:0.2:pi];
theta4=[0:0.2:pi];
[X,Y]=meshgrid(theta4,theta5);
H = cos(X).*sin(Y);
surf(Y,X,H)

Noted.
The accepted Answer does not solve your original problem. You need to address the reason your function is taking non-integer powers of negative results, and describe what you actually want to do.

The line defining H is too long for me, but the error detected by Star Strider (my +1 for StarStrider) can be solved using the "nthroot" command, and so, my suggestion for
x = 0:0.8:pi;
A = sin(x).^(1/3)
B = cos(x).^(1/3)
is
x = 0:0.8:pi;
A = nthroot(sin(x),3)
B = nthroot(cos(x),3)
Perhaps the same idea will be useful, but perhaps another way to plot that surface must be consider (perhaps as an implicit surface, but I don't know about how the parametrization appears). Also note that real(cos(1.6)^(1/3)), imag(cos(1.6)^(1/3)) and nthroot(cos(1.6),3) are not the same
