speye

sparse identity matrix

Syntax

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

Arguments

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(A) is equal to speye(m,n).

Hence, speye(3) is equal to speye(1,1), NOT to speye(3,3).

Examples

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