## Matlab/Scilab equivalent

Matlab | Scilab

    sparse

    sparse

## Particular cases

Equivalence table
Matlab | Scilab | Comment
sparse(A) | sparse(A) |
sparse(m,n) | sparse([],[],[m,n]) |
sparse(i,j,s) | sparse([i,j],s) | This equivalence is true considering i, j and s have the same length and that i and j are column vectors.
sparse(i,j,s,m,n) | sparse([i,j],s,[m,n]) | This equivalence is true considering i, j and s have the same length and that i and j are column vectors.

sparse(i,j,s,m,n,nzmax) : There is no Scilab equivalent for this use of Matlab sparse.
