How can I compare two cell arrays with different sizes ?

I have two cell arrays: a and b

a =  {{1,1} ,{2,3} ,{4,5},{6,7} ,{8,9} ,{10,11};{12,13} ,{14,15} ,{16,17},{18,19} ,{20,21} ,{22,23}};
b =  {{1,1} ,{4,5},{16,17}};

I want to compare each inner cells of a and b (a and b are of different sizes) and if they are the same, MATLAB returns 1 if yes and 0 if no in cell a :

a = [1 , 0 ,1 , 0 , 0 , 0 ; 0 , 0 , 1, 0,0,0];

A simple loop will do the trick:

a =  {{1,1} ,{2,3} ,{4,5},{6,7} ,{8,9} ,{10,11};{12,13} ,{14,15} ,{16,17},{18,19} ,{20,21} ,{22,23}};
b =  {{1,1} ,{4,5},{16,17}};
out=false(size(a));
for n=1:numel(a)
    for m=1:numel(b)
        if isequal(a{n},b{m})
            out(n)=true;
            break
        end
    end
end
out

out = 2×6 logical array
   1   0   1   0   0   0
   0   0   1   0   0   0
