Given a diagonal matrix which is supposed to have no non-zero entry in
the diagonal after the first one (if any) the function returns the
diagonal (sub-)matrix without the columns and the row corresponding to
the zero-entries in the diagonal (if any).
Usage
prune_zero_tail(diag_mat)
Value
a diagonal matrix without zeros in the diagonal, composed by the
first rows and columns of the original matrix with non zeros in the
diagonal (which are also the only ones)
Arguments
diag_mat
a diagonal matrix which must satisfy the following
property: in the diagonal, every element after a zero is a zero.
