spzeros - sparse zero matrix
sp=spzeros(nrows,ncols,fill) returns a sparse zero matrix sp with nrows rows, ncols columns. (Equivalent to sparse([],[],[nrow,ncols]))
sp=spzeros(A) returns a sparse zero matrix with same dimensions as A. If [m,n]=size(A), spzeros(m,n) and spzeros(A) are equivalent. In particular spzeros(3) is not equivalent to spzeros(3,3).
