I use the distance matrix as W =
0 1 0 5
1 0 0 1
0 0 0 3
5 1 3 0
>> Z=linkage(W,'single')
Z =
2.0000 3.0000 2.2361
1.0000 5.0000 2.2361
4.0000 6.0000 5.1962
>> Z=linkage(W,'complete')
Z =
2.0000 3.0000 2.2361
1.0000 5.0000 4.2426
4.0000 6.0000 7.6811
above are wrong results
Somebody could tell me why,please??

Your distance matrix isn't in the vector form that pdist computes and linkage expects. So linkage is treating it as a data matrix. Try this:
Z=linkage(squareform(W),'single')
