Creating a diagonal matrix from from a vector
$begingroup$
I try to create a function that create a diagonal matrix in which the diagonal are:
$qquad 1,a,a^2, cdots,a^n,1,a,a^2, cdots,a^n$
Here is my attempt:
nth[n_] := DiagonalMatrix[Table[a^{Mod[k, n]}, {k, 0, 2 n - 1}]];
For some reason and I do not know wh,y the diagonal matrix is just one vector. So it seems DiagonalMatrix
does not work as I expect.
Any idea as to where the mistake is in the function I created?

Remove the braces around Mod
:
ClearAll[nth]
nth[n_] := DiagonalMatrix@Table[a^Mod[k, n], {k, 0, 2 n - 1}]
nth[5] // MatrixForm // TeXForm
$left(
begin{array}{cccccccccc}
1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & a & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & a^2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & a^3 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & a^4 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & a & 0 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & a^2 & 0 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & a^3 & 0 \
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & a^4 \
end{array}
right)$
Alternatively, you can use SparseArray
:
ClearAll[nth2]
nth2[n_] := SparseArray[{k_, k_} :> a^Mod[k, n], {2 n - 1, 2 n - 1}]
nth2[5] // MatrixForm // TeXForm
same result
or use Band
in combination with SparseArray
:
ClearAll[nth3]
nth3[n_] := SparseArray[Band[{1, 1}] -> Table[a^Mod[k, n], {k, 0, 2 n - 1}]]
nth2[5] // MatrixForm // TeXForm
same result
