ApCoCoA-1:LinBox.CharPoly
From ApCoCoAWiki
LinBox.CharPoly
Compute the characteristic polynomial of a matrix.
Syntax
LinBox.CharPoly(M:MAT, X:POLY):LIST
Description
X is an indeterminate, and M is a square matrix whose entries do not involve X.
This function returns the characteristic polynomial of M in the indeterminate X computed by the ApCoCoAServer using LinBox functions.
@param M A matrix with whose components do not contain the indeterminate X.
@param X An indeterminate.
@return The characteristic polynomial of M in the indeterminate X.
Example
Use R ::= Z/(19)[x]; LinBox.CharPoly(BringIn(Mat([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])), x); -- CoCoAServer: computing Cpu Time = 0 ------------------------------- x^3 + 4x^2 + x ------------------------------- Use R ::= Z[x]; LinBox.CharPoly(Mat([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]), x); -- WARNING: Coeffs are not in a field -- GBasis-related computations could fail to terminate or be wrong ------------------------------- -- WARNING: Coeffs are not in a field -- GBasis-related computations could fail to terminate or be wrong -- CoCoAServer: computing Cpu Time = 0 ------------------------------- x^3 - 15x^2 - 18x -------------------------------
