Is there an easier way to index diagonal elements of a matrix?

67 visualizaciones (últimos 30 días)
Let's say I have a 10 x 10 diagonal matrix of random integers between 0 and 100:
A = diag(randi(100,10,1));
I want to replace some of the diagonals with different values. In particular, I want to replace the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 9th diagonal element with the value 1000.
One intuitive way to do this would be:
A([3 6 7 9],[3 6 7 9]) = 1000;
But this doesn't work because MATLAB reads this as replacing matrix entries (3,3), (3,6), (3,7), (3,9), (6,3), (6,6), (6,7), (6,9), and so on.
One way that does work is to go:
v = diag(A);
v([3 6 7 9]) = 1000;
A = diag(v);
But this seems kind of clunky with double calls to "diag" and the additional variable "v" needing to be stored in memory. Is there a more elegant way to do it using matrix indexing?
Thanks

A = diag(randi(100,10,1));
n = size(A,1);
A(sub2ind([n,n],[3 6 7 9],[3 6 7 9])) = 1000;
A
A = 10×10

If you understand how matrix elements are stored in memory, it is not that hard either, even if we avoid sub2ind. Next, I'll change them to 999.
ind = [3 6 7 9];
A(ind + (ind - 1)*n) = 999;
A
A = 10×10
56 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 52 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 84 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 999 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33

Thanks! The linear indexing method is exactly the kind of nice solution I was looking for.

Or linear indexing
n=20;%size of matrix
A = diag(randi(100,n,1));
c=[4 7 8 12];%places on the diagonal wanting to replace
A((c-1)*(n+1)+1)=1000;
