_arb_mat_charpoly, arb_mat_charpoly
Synopsis
#include <flint/arb_mat.h>void arb_mat_charpoly(arb_poly_t poly, const arb_mat_t mat, slong prec)sourceSet poly to the characteristic polynomial of the square matrix (an exception is raised otherwise). The underscore version writes coefficients. Wrappers of _gr_mat_charpoly_berkowitz, the division-free algorithm of Berkowitz with operations, which avoids divisions by balls that contain zero (Characteristic and minimal polynomials). A non-finite matrix gives indeterminate coefficients.
