> Jos, Thanks for your post. B results from a cumsum operation, so it would either ascending (e.g. [1 3 5 9]), or remain constant at some elements ([1 2 2 4]). In the example you provided, the second and fourth element are descending. I have put few other examples to illustrate my requirement. Thanks.

Ah, the problem did rang a bell. Here's a solution using an indexing trick and a special function that I wrote a couple of years ago:
b = [2 0 3 4] ;
b(b>0) = diff([0 b(b>0)])
a = double(nones(b))
a(a==1)=1:sum(a(:))
a = a.'
My function NONES can be found here:
