referencing each element of a matrix to some other matrix

netCostMatrix=[Inf 400 100 200 Inf Inf

400 Inf Inf 500 600 Inf

Inf 900 200 Inf 100 300

Inf 200 300 400 500 Inf

Inf Inf 100 200 300 400

Inf 400 300 200 Inf Inf]

how to characterize each element of above matrix as unity matrix of 3x8?

[Dyuman Joshi]

So, you want a matrix whose each element is 3x8 matrix of ones?

[VASUNDHARA V]

yes but that matrix of 3x8 is linked with each element of netcostmatrix. each elemnt of above matrix refer a new 3x8 matrix of ones...

shoud this need a function declaration or can we use the array approach?

[KSSV]

Your question is not clear. What is your expected output?

[VASUNDHARA V]

netCostMatrix=[Inf 400 100 200 Inf Inf

400 Inf Inf 500 600 Inf

Inf 900 200 Inf 100 300

Inf 200 300 400 500 Inf

Inf Inf 100 200 300 400

Inf 400 300 200 Inf Inf]

how to characterize netcostmatrix(:)=ones(3x8)??where 3 is the no. of machines and 8 is the no. of frequency slots. and every elemnt of above matrix utilize this number of machines(3) with 8 freq slots

[Dyuman Joshi]

Even though it's unclear what you want, but from my limited understanding -

y=cell(6,6); %Pre-allocation
y(:)={ones(3,8)};
y{2,3}

ans = 3×8

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

If this is not the expected output, please give a proper example of what you want.

can we use struct array here ??,,,as i want specific field of netcostmatrix specify some value

[Jan]

@VASUNDHARA V: The question is still not clear. What does "can we use struct array here ??" mean? Do you need a struct array? Please write explicitly, what you want as output for:

netCostMatrix = [Inf, 400; ...
                 400, Inf];

@Dyuman Joshi asks: "If this is not the expected output, please give a proper example of what you want." Please answer this important and useful question.

[VASUNDHARA V]

and thankyou for your answer

[VASUNDHARA V]

yes i got the answer suggested by @Dyuman Joshi..

thanks @Jan ,@Dyuman Joshi@KSSV
