creating diagonal matrix - comp.soft-sys.matlab

Hi, Let say I have a vector B=[1 0] and I want to use this vector B repeating in this matrix A having size [8x16]. First, I initialize the matrix A with all zeros then I want to have the outcome as below: A= [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0]; How can I use that vector B repeat several times on matrix A using some code? It looks like an eye matrix but the pattern is little bit different. I tried to do some looping but still doesn't get it as the above. Second question: I still want to use vector B to create another matrix C with size [4x8] as below and how to call it without constructing it manually? C= [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0]; Thanks in advance.

Is there any other way for making it more flexible especially for larger size? I have other solution for question 1 by creating eye matrix of M size and then I want to remove all the even row. I knew we can delete row by specifying all the number of rows but it is restricted to smaller size of matrix. Instead of repeating the number of rows index, I want to make it flexible for greater size. Anybody please kindly share your ideas too. Many thanks.

How about I still want to use the same vector B[1 0] creates this D matrix as below: D= [1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0; 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0]; I don't think we can use the blkdiag function again. Any idea?

Any idea? --------- I have the solution for the above question but it is not practical for larger matrix. D=eye(16); dToRemove = [3,4,7,8,11,12,15,16]; D(dToRemove,:) = []; Let say the D matrix has bigger size, eye(200) and I don't want to repeat listing all the entries to be remove as above. We can see the pattern of listing from dToRemove variable. Any better suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Any idea? You need to define how that vector B will generate that array. The crystal ball is cloudy, making it impossible for me to read your mind. John

Lets forget about the vector B and I already constructed that matrix D as I mentioned above but how can I improve it without listing all the columns that I want to delete? D=eye(16); rowToRemove = [3,4,7,8,11,12,15,16]; D(rowToRemove,:) = []; D=[4x8]; %output Let say the D matrix has bigger size, eye(200) and I don't want to repeat listing all the entries to be remove. We can see the pattern of listing from dToRemove variable. Any better suggestion? Thanks in advance.

We can see the pattern of listing from dToRemove variable. Any better suggestion? Thanks in advance. I don't see it as difficult to remove the unwanted columns. Do it in exactly those two steps. By trying to combine it into one, you create a problem that is more complex than it needs to be. While you COULD do it all with an appropriate call to sparse, constructing the arguments to sparse will take more work than just doing it the direct way. You have two things to be done. Do them one at a time. John

We can see the pattern of listing from dToRemove variable. Any better suggestion? Thanks in advance. Suppose I wanted to paint a picture. Perhaps a still life, with red apples, oranges, a banana. I have paint of various colors. I might try to paint it entirely in one step, with one large brush, arranging some of the bristles of my brush to hold different paint pigments. Now were I truly, incredibly good at this, I might attempt to paint the entire canvas in one swipe of the brush. You recognize of course that the above scheme is surely impossible. Instead, painting my canvas using one color at a time seems far more logical. Solve one problem at a time. John

I don't see the pattern in C, so I don't know how if at all you'll able to construct it other than manually. -- Steve Lord slord@mathworks.com comp.soft-sys.matlab (CSSM) FAQ: http://matlabwiki.mathworks.com/MATLAB_FAQ

Thanks Steve. The vector B cannot be used for implementing the matrix C and I already found the correct vector to replicate it in order to get the matrix C.
