Create a sparse matrix from the full matrix or row, column, value triplets.\n\
If @var{a} is a full matrix, convert it to a sparse matrix representation,\n\
removing all zero values in the process.\n\
\n\
Given the integer index vectors @var{i} and @var{j}, a 1-by-@code{nnz} vector\n\
of real of complex values @var{sv}, overall dimensions @var{m} and @var{n}\n\
of the sparse matrix. The argument @code{nzmax} is ignored but accepted for\n\
compatibility with @sc{matlab}. If @var{m} or @var{n} are not specified their\n\
values are derived from the maximum index in the vectors @var{i} and @var{j}\n\
as given by @code{@var{m} = max (@var{i})}, @code{@var{n} = max (@var{j})}.\n\
\n\
@strong{Note}: if multiple values are specified with the same\n\
@var{i}, @var{j} indices, the corresponding values in @var{s} will\n\
be added.\n\
\n\
The following are all equivalent:\n\
\n\
@example\n\
@group\n\
s = sparse (i, j, s, m, n)\n\
s = sparse (i, j, s, m, n, \"summation\")\n\
s = sparse (i, j, s, m, n, \"sum\")\n\
@end group\n\
@end example\n\
\n\
Given the option \"unique\". if more than two values are specified for the\n\
same @var{i}, @var{j} indices, the last specified value will be used.\n\
\n\
@code{sparse(@var{m}, @var{n})} is equivalent to\n\
@code{sparse ([], [], [], @var{m}, @var{n}, 0)}\n\
\n\
If any of @var{sv}, @var{i} or @var{j} are scalars, they are expanded\n\
to have a common size.\n\
