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.
