Yoram, How about PollackMatrix[n_]:=PadLeft[Table[1,{n-2},{n-2}],{n,n},0,{1,1}] For example In[4]:= PollackMatrix[7] Out[4]= {{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}} Carl Woll Physics Dept U of Washington "Yoram Pollack" <syftech at saad.org.il> wrote in message news:9ah5nq$ps0 at smc.vnet.net... > Hello > I am trying to create a "n x n" matrix with "1" in every position exept in > first and last row, and first and last coulumn, where "0" is needed.
