Sylvester Matrix (v1.0, may 2009)

SYLVESTER - Sylvester matrix of two polynomials

Description

  SYLVESTER - Sylvester matrix of two polynomials
    SYLVESTER(P,Q) returns the Sylvester Matrix associated with the two
    polynomial representations P and Q. M is a N-by-N square matrix with
    N being the total number of elements of P and Q.
 
    Example:
      P = [1 2 3 4] ; Q = [6 7] ;
      M = sylvester(P,Q)
      % -> 1 2 3 4 0
      % 0 1 2 3 4
      % 6 7 0 0 0
      % 0 6 7 0 0
      % 0 0 6 7 0
      % 0 0 0 6 7
