function a = r8gb_indicator ( m, n, ml, mu )

%*****************************************************************************80

%% R8GB_INDICATOR sets up a R8GB indicator matrix.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    Note that the R8GB storage format includes extra room for
%    fillin entries that occur during Gauss elimination.  This routine
%    will supply zero values for those entries.
%
%    The R8GB storage format is for an M by N banded matrix, with lower 
%    bandwidth ML and upper bandwidth MU.  Storage includes room for ML 
%    extra superdiagonals, which may be required to store nonzero entries 
%    generated during Gaussian elimination.
%
%    The original M by N matrix is "collapsed" downward, so that diagonals
%    become rows of the storage array, while columns are preserved.  The
%    collapsed array is logically 2*ML+MU+1 by N.

%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer M, the number of rows of the matrix.
%    M must be positive.
%
%    Input, integer N, the number of columns of the matrix.
%    N must be positive.
%
%    Input, integer ML, MU, the lower and upper bandwidths.
%    ML and MU must be nonnegative, and no greater than min(M,N)-1.
%
%    Output, real A(2*ML+MU+1,N), the R8GB matrix.
