How to write the matrix in the required form?

I know how to write a block matrix. It's done like

$Q= \left[ \begin{array}{c|c} {\{A\}}_{l\times l} & 0} \\ \hline 0} & B } \end{array} \right]$


But I want to add a row and column to my matrix .That is I want to write it like this:

Row: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Column:
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1
1

And then in the gap I want to add my block matrix.

• please show us (the code in form of small complete document, which we can compile) what you try so far! – Zarko Sep 1 '18 at 17:47

One can simply use array and a small trick for getting a bigger letter for the blocks.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand{\Block}[2]{%
\makebox[0pt]{\smash{$\mbox{\LARGE$#1$}_{#2}$}}%
}

\begin{document}

$Q=\left[ \begin{array}{@{}cccc|ccc@{}} 1 & 1 & \dots & \multicolumn{1}{c}{1} & 1 & \dots & 1 \\ 1 & & & & & & \\ \vdots & & \Block{A}{l\times l} & & & \Block{0}{} & \\ 1 & & & & & & \\ \cline{2-7} 1 & & & & & & \\ \vdots & & \Block{0}{} & & & \Block{B}{} & \\ 1 & & & & & & \end{array} \right]$

\end{document}

You can always put an array inside another array, or use \multicols or \multirows (multirow package, goes back to text mode). Now, expanding the cells to fit the space is more problematic.

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 \\ 1 & \multicolumn{5}{c}{\multirow{5}{*}{$\begin{array}{c|c}
{A}_{l\times l} & 0 \\
\hline
0 & B
\end{array}$}}\\ 1 \\ 1 \\ \vdots \\ 1 \end{bmatrix}$
\end{document}


This solution aligns to the outer matrix. It uses \raisebox instead of \multirow (shift distance is fudged).

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
$\left[ \begin{array}{cccccc} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & \cdots & 1 \\ 1 & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{} \\ 1 & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{A_{l\times l}} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{0} \\ 1 & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{} \\ \cline{2-6} \vdots & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{\raisebox{-1ex}[0pt][0pt]{$0$}} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\raisebox{-1ex}[0pt][0pt]{$B$}} \\ 1 & \multicolumn{3}{c|}{} \end{array}\right]$
\end{document}


A solution using  pstricks for the vertical line and \booktabs for the horizontal line:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{multirow, blkarray, delarray}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{pst-node, auto-pst-pdf}

\begin{document}

\begin{postscript}
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \pnode{A} & 1 & \cdots & 1 \\ 1 & & & \\ 1 & & \mathclap{A} \\[-1ex] \vdots & & & & & & \\[-1.5ex] \vdots \\[-2.5ex] \cmidrule(r){2-7} \vdots \\[-1.5ex] \vdots & & & & \multicolumn{3}{c}{\raisebox{1.5ex}{ B }}\\ 1 & & & \phantom{1}\pnode{B} \end{bmatrix}$
\pcline[offset=\arraycolsep, linewidth=0.4pt]{-}(A)(B)
\end{postscript}

\end{document}
