Diagonal matrices and diagonals of a matrix
X = diag(v,k) X = diag(v) v = diag(X,k) v = diag(X)
X = diag(v,k)
when v
is a vector of n
components, returns a square matrix X
of order n+abs(k)
, with the elements of v
on the k
th diagonal. k = 0
represents the main diagonal, k > 0
above the main diagonal, and k < 0
below the main diagonal.X = diag(v)
puts v
on the main diagonal, same as above with k
=
0
.
v = diag(X,k)
for matrix X
, returns a column vector v
formed from the elements of the k
th diagonal of X
.
v = diag(X)
returns the main diagonal of X
, same as above with k
=
0
.
diag(diag(X))
is a diagonal matrix.
sum(diag(X))
is the trace of X
.
The statement
diag(-m:m)+diag(ones(2*m,1),1)+diag(ones(2*m,1),-1)produces a tridiagonal matrix of order
2
*m+1
