How to fix this code

Error using eig
Input to EIG must not contain NaN or Inf.

In these lines;
xc=sum((x+xp).*a)/6/A
yc=sum((y+yp).*a)/6/A
when A is 0, these values become NaN since division by 0 is not defined. Since they are NaN, any other variable that uses them become NaN as well. eig() function requires numeric values since there cannot be eigenvalues of NaN.
If in your application A can be 0, these equations do not seem to be right. Otherwise, if A can be 0 and the equations are right, you can use an if statement to force xc and yc to be some number when A is equal to 0.

A is supposed to be less than zero, so what statement would I use to fix those equations.

The issue is A takes the value 0. If A is not supposed to be 0 at all, then the inputs you supply to the function should be carefully chosen to not let A equal to 0 or the equation that determines A is just wrong. I cannot help you further unless I go into details of what this function does, where the equations come from, what the input should be etc. which would take a lot of time since I am not familiar with what it is.
I recommend you check the equation if they are implemented correctly and then check what the inputs to the function should be and make sure you do not supply inputs that make the A equal to 0.
The error message is coming from eig() not from the value of A.

Correct but the underlying reason is the variable A. Since A is NaN, the other variables that are calculated using the A variable becomes NaN as well. Then you feed a matrix with NaN elements to eig() function, which is where you see the error since eig() function cannot work with NaN.
To test this, you can replace the equation that is "A = sum(a)/2" withs "A = 5" or any other numeric value, and you will see your code runs fine.
