Hi all,
I have been trying to create a semi-diagonal matrix; Now I know this may not be the right terminology for it, however here it is (also, the matrix doesnt have to be square. I want to have control over its m x n dimensions. The example is thus of a semi-diagonal 3 x 6 matrix):
M_3x6 = [1 1 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 1] ;
Or for a larger matrix:
M_4x7 = [1 1 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 1 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1] ;
Thanks for your help in advance,
KMT.

>> blkdiag([1,1],[1,1],[1,1])
ans =
1 1 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 1
>>
>> C = repmat({[1,1]},1,4);
>> blkdiag(C{:})
ans =
1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1

Then use indexing to select a part of the matrix.
Method two: repelem: With newer MATLAB versions you could use eye and repelem, and then use indexing as above.
