根据另一个矩阵的相应唯一值将矩阵中的值相加

Question

e=[40 19 18 20 30 34 65 97 155 160];

If there is a minimum difference between two consecutive values (for eg (19,18), (30, 34) and (155,160)) then merge these values..

Similar values also...Whatever condition can be used to solve this..Kindly help to solve this..

Answer 1

Iteratively,

e = [ 40 19 18 20 30 34 65 97 155 160];
current = e + 1; % init
prev = e;
while ~isequal( current, prev )
    prev = current;
    d = [ diff( prev ) < 5 true]; % always keep the last one
    current = prev( d );
end
