hilb function matlab
The hilb function creates a matrix, the Hilbert matrix, which looks really nice and is easy to work with analytically, but computationally it is really nasty to work with because it is extremely ill-conditioned.
The smart part about the MATLAB HILB function is that it demonstrates the idea of ‘vectorization’. Here is hilb(4)
Example
>> Z = hilb(4) Z = 1.0000 0.5000 0.3333 0.2500 0.5000 0.3333 0.2500 0.2000 0.3333 0.2500 0.2000 0.1667 0.2500 0.2000 0.1667 0.1429
The general formula is H(i , j) = 1 / ( i + j -1).
