Incorrect dimensions for Matrix multiplication

This is my code: I am getting an error in line 31.

The following is the error message, image has also been attatched:

Error using . Incorrect dimensions for matrix multiplication. Check that the number of columns in the first matrix matches the number of rows in the second matrix. To perform elementwise multiplication, use '.*'.

Error in cw_code_alpha [line 31].

A=diag(ap*ones(nx,1),1)+diag(aw*ones(nx-1,1),-1)+diag(ae*ones(nx-1,1),1)

Code below:

clc
clear
close all
%% initialisation 
alpha1=0.02;
a=0.6;
b=0.05;
c=0.01;
q=0.05;
g=20;
L=4;
tmax=100;
dx=0.01;
nx=L/dx+1;
dt=0.005;
nt=tmax/dt+1;
x=0:dx:L;
t=0:dt:tmax;
A=zeros(nx,nt);
T=zeros(nx,1);
b=zeros(nx,1);
v=zeros(nt,1);
S=zeros(nx,1);

    A=diag(ap*ones(nx,1),1)+diag(aw*ones(nx-1,1),-1)+diag(ae*ones(nx-1,1),1);

The code you posted should throw an error because the variables ap, aw, and ae are not defined. If you show what those variables contain (or at least what size they are and what size they should be, which may be different) we may be able to offer better suggestions about what you could do to avoid these errors.

So did you try what it said "To perform elementwise multiplication, use '.*'."

A=diag(ap .* ones(nx,1),1)+diag(aw .* ones(nx-1,1),-1)+diag(ae .* ones(nx-1,1),1)

If not, why didn't you try it? Are you 100% sure you want a matrix multiplication instead of an element-by-element multiplication?

Yes, could the problem be in the initialisation? Could you confirm it is ok, I will include a PNG file of the question.

I tried it your way, and still get the same error. Also I don't think I can use element x element because Aw and Ae are a range of values.
