Given two numbers <tt>n</tt> and <tt>s</tt>, build an <tt>n-by-n</tt> logical matrix (of only zeros and ones), such that both the row sums and the column sums are all equal to <tt>s</tt>. Additionally, the main diagonal must be all zeros.You can assume that: <tt>0 &lt; s &lt; n</tt>&nbsp;Example:Take <tt>n=10</tt> and <tt>s=3</tt>, here is a possible solution<pre class="language-matlab">M =

Any clue? Does this problem require great mathematics abilities ?

Rafael S.T. Vieira on 23 Jul 2020

Not really, imagine in the simplest case that we could use the diagonals (ignoring this constraint), what the solution would look like? A chessboard pattern would solve it, wouldn't it? Now, how can we work around the constraint?

I never knew about gallery. Thanks!

Payam Morsali on 20 Apr 2020

could you please let me know which one of the Gallery matrixes have you used?

@Payam Morsali
its the circulant matrix
