Structural rank

Syntax

r = sprank(A)

Description

r = sprank(A)is the structural rank of the sparse matrixA. For all values ofA,

sprank(A) >= rank(full(A))

In exact arithmetic,sprank(A) == rank(full(sprandn(A)))with a probability of one.

Examples

A = [1 0 2 0 2 0 4 0 ]; A = sparse(A); sprank(A) ans = 2 rank(full(A)) ans = 1
