Click For Summary
To create an nxn square matrix in LaTeX with 1's along the reverse diagonal (from the bottom left to the top right) and zeros elsewhere, specific formatting is required. The user seeks guidance on positioning elements at a_{(n,1)}, a_{(n-1,2)}, ..., a_{(1,n)} without including vertical dots or other elements. A helpful resource was shared, but the user expresses difficulty in finding relevant examples for this specific matrix configuration. The focus is on achieving a clean representation of the matrix that highlights the reverse diagonal while maintaining zero entries elsewhere.

Help Making A Matrix in Latex??

Hi, I need to make an nxn square matrix using Latex with 1's starting in the bottom left all the way up to the top right on that sort of opposite diagonal. I can't figure out to do it. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Hi azdang! :smile:

See http://www.physics.udel.edu/~dubois/lshort2e/node56.html#SECTION00850000000000000000 :wink:

Hi Tiny Tin, thanks for the website. I have a few websites that I look at often for Latex help, but I haven't come across anything helpful. I have no trouble making normal diagonal matrices, but I don't know how to only get elements in positions a_{(n,1)},a_{(n-1,2)},a_{(n-2,3)},...a_{(1,n)}.

And I don't want any vertical dots or anything because all other elements are zero. The only place I would want dots would be on this reverse diagonal in between elements a_{n,1} and a_{1,n} to indicate that \lambda is along this diagonal.
