scipy.linalg.block_diag

scipy.linalg.block_diag(*arrs)

Create a block diagonal matrix from provided arrays.

Given the inputs A, B and C, the output will have these arrays arranged on the diagonal:

[[A, 0, 0],
 [0, B, 0],
 [0, 0, C]]

Parameters:

A, B, C, …array_like, up to 2-D

Input arrays. A 1-D array or array_like sequence of length n is treated as a 2-D array with shape (1,n).

Returns:

Dndarray

Array with A, B, C, … on the diagonal. D has the same dtype as A.

Notes

If all the input arrays are square, the output is known as a block diagonal matrix.

Empty sequences (i.e., array-likes of zero size) will not be ignored. Noteworthy, both [] and [[]] are treated as matrices with shape (1,0).

>>> B = [[3, 4, 5],
...      [6, 7, 8]]
>>> C = [[7]]
>>> P = np.zeros((2, 0), dtype='int32')
>>> block_diag(A, B, C)
