Just a remark: For larger values of n=200,
it would be more efficient (and elegant) to directly use
DD <- Diagonal(200)
See ?Diagonal, and e.g.,

4 x 4 diagonal matrix of class "ddiMatrix"

How does your package "get Matrix"?
I'm sure there's some problem in requiring Matrix, in either
your DESCRIPTION or your NAMESPACE (or a .First.library or ...)
Your DESCRIPTION should have
Depends: ...., Matrix
Imports: ...., Matrix
Can you please clarify the simultaneous use of `Depends:' and `Imports'.
The Writing R Extensions manual explicitly says that:
"Packages declared in the 'Depends' field should not also be in the
'Imports' field."
Thanks,
Henric
and your NAMESPACE
either
importFrom("Matrix", .....)# the things you need
or (if you use many things from the Matrix package, and/or
in some way just *extend* it ...)
import("Matrix")
Does that help?
Best regards,
Martin Maechler
