Is there a name for this matrix operation?

$begingroup$


Transforming a matrix by copying each element up to a certain given length ($k$) and then starting on the next row with the second element, and row after that with the third, etc. So each row is shifted by one more. For example:



$$begin{bmatrix}1\2\3\4\5end{bmatrix}
rightarrow
begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 & 3\2 & 3 & 4\3 & 4 & 5end{bmatrix}
$$



With a parameter $k=3$ or



$$begin{bmatrix}1\2\3\4\5end{bmatrix}
rightarrow
begin{bmatrix}1 & 2 & 3 & 4\2 & 3 & 4 & 5end{bmatrix}
$$



With a parameter $k=4$.

    If such operation is useful, it certainly has a name. And conversely.

    Thinking to a fixed length window (length = 3 or 2 in your example) : you are sliding this window on the message "1 2 3 4 5" and you gather the results in a new matrix : thus it has something common with discrete convolution but I don't see any "closed form" matrix expression that can render this operation...

$begingroup$

The operation looks a little too particular to me to have a (well known) name.



The resulting matrix is like a Toeplitz matrix (except that it's constant along the anti-diagonals), could be regarded as some sort of "toeplitzation" (ugh)...



For example, the second example in Matlab/Octave:



>> fliplr(toeplitz([4,5],[4,3,2,1]))
ans =

1 2 3 4
2 3 4 5

    Thanks! This opened up some good things for me to look into. From Toeplitz I found Hankel which seems like I can use to do at least something close to what I need.
