ApCoCoA-1:LinBox.Det

LinBox.Det

the determinant of a matrix

Syntax

LinBox.Det(M:MAT)

the resulting type depends on the entries of the matrix.

Description

This function returns the determinant of the square matrix M computed by the ApCoCoAServer using LinBox functions. Please note that in contrary to the built in CoCoA Det function the entries of M are only allowed to be of type RAT, INT or ZMOD. The resulting type depends on the types of the entries of the matrix.

Example

Use R ::= Q[x];
LinBox.Det(Mat([[1,2],[0,5]]));
-- CoCoAServer: computing Cpu Time = 0
-------------------------------
5
-------------------------------

Use Z[x];
LinBox.Det(Mat([[1,2],[1,4]]));
