Unfortunately this is a known bug involving broadcasting.  See bug #41441.

For the time being, you should use repmat to create a comparison array from the single column vector.  Along the lines of


A = [1 3; 7 5]; b = [2; 6];
b = repmat (b, [1, columns(A)]);
sparse (A) < sparse (b)


This will work in Octave or Matlab.

Marking as a duplicate and keeping the original report at bug #41441 open.

Comparing a matrix with a vector works fine for full and sparse matrices on Matlab, but on Octave it gives an error for sparse matrices.


octave:1> A = [1 3; 7 5]; b = [2; 6];
octave:2> A < b
ans =

  1  0
  0  1

octave:3> sparse(A) < sparse(b)
error: mx_el_lt: nonconformant arguments (op1 is 2x2, op2 is 2x1)


On Matlab, however, it works fine ...


>> A = [1 3; 7 5]; b = [2; 6];
>> A < b

ans =

  2x2 logical array

   1   0
   0   1

>> sparse(A) < sparse(b)

ans =

  2x2 sparse logical array

   (1,1)      1
   (2,2)      1
