sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.add_column(B, H_B, a, proof)#

The add column procedure.

INPUT:

  • B – a square matrix (may be singular)

  • H_B – the Hermite normal form of B

  • a – an n x 1 matrix, where B has n rows

OUTPUT:

sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.benchmark_hnf(nrange, bits=4)#

Run benchmark program.

EXAMPLES:

sage: import sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf as hnf
sage: hnf.benchmark_hnf([50,100],32)
('sage', 50, 32, ...),
('sage', 100, 32, ...),
sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.benchmark_magma_hnf(nrange, bits=4)#

EXAMPLES:

sage: import sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf as hnf
sage: hnf.benchmark_magma_hnf([50,100],32)     # optional - magma

sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_from_modp_and_divisor(A, d, p, z_mod, moduli, z_so_far=1, N_so_far=1)#

This is used for internal purposes for computing determinants quickly (with the hybrid p-adic / multimodular algorithm).

INPUT:

  • A – a square matrix

  • d – a divisor of the determinant of A

  • p – a prime

  • z_mod – values of det/d (mod …)

  • moduli – the moduli so far

  • z_so_far – for a modulus p in the list moduli, (z_so_far mod p) is the determinant of A modulo p.

  • N_so_far – N_so_far is the product over the primes in the list moduli.

OUTPUT:

  • A triple (det bound, new z_so_far, new N_so_far).

EXAMPLES:

sage: a = matrix(ZZ, 3, [6, 1, 2, -56, -2, -1, -11, 2, -3])
sage: factor(a.det())
-1 * 13 * 29
sage: d = 13
sage: import sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf as matrix_integer_dense_hnf
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_from_modp_and_divisor(a, d, 97, [], [])
(-377, -29, 97)
sage: a.det()
-377
sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(A, d, proof=True, stabilize=2)#

Given a divisor d of the determinant of A, compute the determinant of A.

INPUT:

  • A – a square integer matrix

  • d – a nonzero integer that is assumed to divide the determinant of A

  • proof – bool (default: True) compute det modulo enough primes so that the determinant is computed provably correctly (via the Hadamard bound). It would be VERY hard for det() to fail even with proof=False.

  • stabilize – int (default: 2) if proof = False, then compute the determinant modulo \(p\) until stabilize successive modulo determinant computations stabilize.

OUTPUT:

integer – determinant

EXAMPLES:

sage: import sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf as matrix_integer_dense_hnf
sage: a = matrix(ZZ,3,[-1, -1, -1, -20, 4, 1, -1, 1, 2])
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 3)
-30
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 3, proof=False)
-30
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 3, proof=False, stabilize=1)
-30
sage: a.det()
-30

Here we illustrate proof=False giving a wrong answer:

sage: p = matrix_integer_dense_hnf.max_det_prime(2)
sage: q = previous_prime(p)
sage: a = matrix(ZZ, 2, [p, 0, 0, q])
sage: p * q
70368442188091
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 1, proof=False, stabilize=2)
0

This still works, because we do not work modulo primes that divide the determinant bound, which is found using a p-adic algorithm:

sage: a.det(proof=False, stabilize=2)
70368442188091

3 primes is enough:

sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 1, proof=False, stabilize=3)
70368442188091
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 1, proof=False, stabilize=5)
70368442188091
sage: matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_given_divisor(a, 1, proof=True)
70368442188091
sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.det_padic(A, proof=True, stabilize=2)#

Return the determinant of A, computed using a p-adic/multimodular algorithm.

INPUT:

  • A – a square matrix

  • proof – boolean

  • stabilize (default: 2) – if proof False, number of successive primes so that CRT det must stabilize.

EXAMPLES:

sage: import sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf as h
sage: a = matrix(ZZ, 3, [1..9])
sage: h.det_padic(a)
0
sage: a = matrix(ZZ, 3, [1,2,5,-7,8,10,192,5,18])
sage: h.det_padic(a)
-3669
sage: a.determinant(algorithm='ntl')
-3669
sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.double_det(A, b, c, proof)#

INPUT:

  • b – an 1 x n matrix

  • c – an 1 x n matrix

  • proof – whether or not to compute the det modulo enough times to provably compute the determinant.

OUTPUT:

  • a pair of two integers.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf import double_det
sage: A = matrix(ZZ, 2, 3, [1,2,3, 4,-2,5])
sage: b = matrix(ZZ, 1, 3, [1,-2,5])
sage: c = matrix(ZZ, 1, 3, [8,2,10])
sage: A.stack(b).det()

sage: A.stack(c).det()

(-48, 42)
sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf.extract_ones_data(H, pivots)#

Compute ones data and corresponding submatrices of H.

This is used to optimized the add_row() function.

INPUT:

OUTPUT:

  • C – submatrix of all non-onecol columns and onecol rows

  • D – all non-onecol columns and other rows

  • E – inverse of D

If D is not invertible or there are 0 or more than 2 non onecols, then C, D, and E are set to None.

EXAMPLES:

sage: H = matrix(ZZ, 3, 4, [1, 0, 0, 7, 0, 1, 5, 2, 0, 0, 6, 6])
sage: import sage.matrix.matrix_integer_dense_hnf as matrix_integer_dense_hnf

(
[0]
[5], [6], [1/6], [0, 1], [0, 1], [2], [2]
)
Here we get None’s since the (2,2) position submatrix is not invertible.
