Implicit expansion with empty arrays

I was just idly curious why scalar expansion of an empty array seems to work here (R2018a),
>> [1,2,3;4 5 6]-zeros(2,3,0)
ans =
2×3×0 empty double array
but not here,
>> [1,2,3;4 5 6]-zeros(2,0,0)
Error using -
Array dimensions must match for binary array op.

In the 1st case, you are expanding a dimension of 1 (the 3rd dimension of the first operand) to 0, so it is scalar expansion.
In the 2nd case, you are trying to expand a dimension of 3 (the 2nd dimension of the first operand) to 0, so it is not scalar expansion ... it is simply a dimension mismatch.

Yes, but "scalar {or implicit} expansion except when the size of the other operand in a particular dimension is 0 in which case it is scalar {or implicit} contraction" is a bit of a mouthful.

rand(3,10) + rand(2,10);
you would get 6 x 10 result.

If you're replicating in a singleton dimension, they're the same. Collating multiple copies of a 1-page document is the same as not collating them.

You can pass a function handle that accepts two inputs into bsxfun.
>> fun=@(a,b) a+b;
>> A=1:5;B=A';
>> C1 = bsxfun(fun, A, B);
>> C2 = A + B; % Implicit expansion
>> isequal(C1, C2) % true
>> bsxfun(@besselj, A, B) % works

Steve: "But how would those inputs be replicated? "
Following Rik's method just above my post.
