function A = fiedler(c) %FIEDLER Fiedler matrix - symmetric. % A = FIEDLER(C), where C is an n-vector, is the n-by-n symmetric % matrix with elements ABS(C(i)-C(j)). % Special case: if C is a scalar, then A = FIEDLER(1:C) % (i.e. A(i,j) = ABS(i-j)). % Properties: % FIEDLER(N) has a dominant positive eigenvalue and all the other % eigenvalues are negative (Szego, 1936). % Explicit formulas for INV(A) and DET(A) are given by Todd (1977) % and attributed to Fiedler. These indicate that INV(A) is % tridiagonal except for nonzero (1,n) and (n,1) elements. % [I think these formulas are valid only if the elements of % C are in increasing or decreasing order---NJH.] % References: % G.
