Many of the sections of this help file contain a discussion of how they pertain to this particular example. The Example section contains a detailed description of this example.

A matrix whose nondiagonal cells all have values of 0.

In linear algebra, a diagonal matrix is a square matrix in which the entries outside the main diagonal are all zero. The diagonal entries themselves may or may not be zero.
