The functions full(.) and issparse(.) are behaving strangely for me. In particular, issparse(.) seems unable to detetct sparse matrices correctly, and full(.) fails to convert sparse matrices to full matrices. For example, when I run the code below:

S = sparse(double(rand(200,200) < 1/2));
SS = speye(200);
A = full(S);
AA = full(SS);
d1=issparse(S)
d2=issparse(SS)
d3=issparse(A)
d4=issparse(AA)
whos

I get the following output:

d1 =
     0
d2 =
     0
d3 =
     0
d4 =
     0
  Name        Size              Bytes  Class     Attributes
  A         200x200            321096  double    sparse    
  AA        200x200              4808  double    sparse    
  S         200x200            321096  double    sparse    
  SS        200x200              4808  double    sparse    
  ans         1x1                   8  double              
  d1          1x1                   8  double              
  d2          1x1                   8  double              
  d3          1x1                   8  double              
  d4          1x1                   8  double 

So, issparse(.) tells me none of the matrices are sparse, while the "whos" command tells me that all four are sparse, when it should be the case that S and SS are sparse, while A and AA are not. Additionally, the Workspace window indicates that all four are sparse.

Any help with why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated. (The reason I need this is because a particular function I'm working with, schur(.), can only take full matrices as arguments.)

A and AA do not show up as sparse for me, and the issparse() tests return correct results for me. R2018b on Mac High Sierra

Thanks for testing it. It seems like it's a problem that, for some reason, is specific to me.

Something is definitely odd here. Your A and AA should be full matrices, not still sparse.

Let's make sure you're calling the correct issparse and full functions.

which -all issparse
which -all full

Thanks for your response. It is odd. After running

which -all issparse
which -all full

output is

It does seem like I may have found a workaround by multiplying the sparse matrix by a full identity matrix, but it's still a little troubling that the functions aren't working correctly for me.

Those are likely your culprit. From the tail end of those paths they don't look like the built-in issparse and full functions, but ones you've created or received from someone. Rename those files or delete them and see if you can reproduce the problem.

Thanks! I just figured this out too. Thanks so much for your help! I'm not sure how they got there, but it seems to be working correctly now.
