A = [11,15,16,99,87];
[mx,ind]=maxk(A,2)
mx = 1×2
99 87
ind = 1×2
4 5
secondMax=mx(2)
secondMax = 87
index=ind(2)
index = 5

charu, did you try sorting and using find()? We also need to know your definition of "second largest".
% What is the second largest in this vector: 99 or 87?
A = [11,15,16,99,87, 99, 87]
% Assume it's 87, then to find all locations where 87 occurs:
sortedA = sort(unique(A), 'descend')
indexes = find(A == sortedA(2))
You get
A =
11 15 16 99 87 99 87
sortedA =
99 87 16 15 11
indexes =
5 7
