sparse(A)

sparse(A)



sparse(m,n)

sparse([],[],[m,n])



sparse(i,j,s)

sparse([i,j],s)

This equivalence is true considering *i*, *j* and *s* have the same
length and that *i* and *j* are column vectors.

sparse(i,j,s,m,n)

sparse([i,j],s,[m,n])

This equivalence is true considering *i*, *j* and *s* have the same
length and that *i* and *j* are column vectors.

sparse(i,j,s,m,n,nzmax) : There is no Scilab equivalent for this use
of Matlab *sparse*.
