Section: Sparse Matrix Support
Creates a sparse identity matrix of the given size. The syntax for its use is
y = speye(m,n)
which forms an m x n
sparse matrix with ones on the main diagonal, or
y = speye(n)
which forms an n x n
sparse matrix with ones on the main diagonal. The matrix type is a float
single precision matrix.
The following creates a 5000 by 5000 identity matrix, which would be difficult to do using sparse(eye(5000))
because of the large amount of intermediate storage required.
