UpperTriangularize

UpperTriangularize[m]
gives a matrix in which all but the upper triangular elements of m are replaced with zeros.
UpperTriangularize
replaces with zeros only the elements below the k^(th) subdiagonal of m.
MORE INFORMATION
  • In UpperTriangularize, positive k refers to subdiagonals above the main diagonal and negative k refers to subdiagonals below the main diagonal.
