speye

speye — sparse identity matrix

Calling sequence

Isp=speye(nrows,ncols)  
Isp=speye(A)  

Parameters

nrows : integer (number of rows)
ncols : integer (number os columns)
A : sparse matrix
sp : sparse identity matrix

Description

Isp=speye(nrows,ncols) returns a sparse identity matrix Isp with nrows rows, ncols columns. (Non square identity matrix have a maximal number of ones along the main diagonal).

Isp=speye(A) returns a sparse identity matrix with same dimensions as A. If [m,n]=size(A), speye(m,n) and speye(A) are equivalent. In particular speye(3) is not equivalent to speye(3,3).

Examples



eye(3,3)-full(speye(3,3))
