Hi, I want to find the position of the 1st,2nd and 3rd maximum value of a matrix.I know that I can find the position of the max value using find() function like:(e.g. X is a matrix)
[i j]=find(X==max(X))
but it gives just the position of max value.
Thanks,
Amin.

What do you want to have happen if there are duplicate copies of the maximum?

If X is not unique, find(X==max(X)) can find more than one element. Then Sven's sort method yields to another reply.
For large arrays sorting is expensive. You can try this:
[max1, ind1] = max(X);
X(ind1) = -Inf;
[max2, ind2] = max(X);
X(ind2) = -Inf;
[max3, ind3] = max(X);
X(ind3) = -Inf;
For X = rand(1, 1e6) this is 4.7 times faster than the SORT-method under Matlab 2009a, Win7/64.

Amin, note the "X(:)" part of my answer. Using "(:)" will ensure that max() flattens an n-by-m matrix into a p-by-1 matrix for the purposes of finding its maximum. My ind2sub() command returns the row/column index from the linear index returned by find().

Hi Amin, try this:
[sortedX, sortedInds] = sort(X(:),'descend');
top3 = sortedInds(1:3)
And if you want to get the (i,j) reference into X, just follow with:
[i, j] = ind2sub(size(X), top3);
Here's a general solution (ala Jan) for the N maximum numbers that will be faster than sort() if you have a (very) large matrix X:
N = 10;
inds = zeros(N,1);
tmpX = X(:);
for i=1:N
[~, inds(i)] = max(tmpX);
tmpX(inds(i)) = -inf;
end
[rows, cols] = ind2sub(size(X), inds);
Note that in my opinion, I'd need X be very large or my calculation to be performed many times in a loop before I'd consider the (simpler) sort() method to be too inefficient.

You could run the "find()" function three times. After each time, replace the previously found max in the matrix by a very small number (probably less than the minimum). Hope this helps

if it was a floating point array, you could replace it with NaN instead of a small number.

The following would given you positions of all elements in one-dimentional array X. For a matrix, you can do a little bit tweaking.
[~,idx] = sort(X);
[~,idx]=sort(idx);
idx=numel(X)+1-idx;
