Sets mat to a random permutation of the diagonal matrix with $n$ leading entries given by the vector diag. It is assumed that the main diagonal of mat has room for at least $n$ entries.

Returns $0$ or $1$, depending on whether the permutation is even or odd respectively.

void fq_nmod_mat_randrank(fq_nmod_mat_t mat, slong rank, flint_rand_t state, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Sets mat to a random sparse matrix with the given rank, having exactly as many non-zero elements as the rank, with the non-zero elements being uniformly random elements of $\mathbf{F}_{q}$.

The matrix can be transformed into a dense matrix with unchanged rank by subsequently calling fq_nmod_mat_randops().

void fq_nmod_mat_randops(fq_nmod_mat_t mat, slong count, flint_rand_t state, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Randomises mat by performing elementary row or column operations. More precisely, at most count random additions or subtractions of distinct rows and columns will be performed. This leaves the rank (and for square matrices, determinant) unchanged.

int fq_nmod_mat_is_empty(const fq_nmod_mat_t mat, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Returns a non-zero value if the number of rows or the number of columns in mat is zero, and otherwise returns zero.

int fq_nmod_mat_is_square(const fq_nmod_mat_t mat, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Returns a non-zero value if the number of rows is equal to the number of columns in mat, and otherwise returns zero.

Addition and subtraction¶

void fq_nmod_mat_add(fq_nmod_mat_t C, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Computes $C = A + B$. Dimensions must be identical.

void fq_nmod_mat_sub(fq_nmod_mat_t C, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Computes $C = A - B$. Dimensions must be identical.

Matrix multiplication¶

void fq_nmod_mat_mul(fq_nmod_mat_t C, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $C = AB$. Dimensions must be compatible for matrix multiplication. $C$ is not allowed to be aliased with $A$ or $B$. This function automatically chooses between classical and KS multiplication.

void fq_nmod_mat_mul_classical(fq_nmod_mat_t C, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $C = AB$. Dimensions must be compatible for matrix multiplication. $C$ is not allowed to be aliased with $A$ or $B$. Uses classical matrix multiplication.

void fq_nmod_mat_mul_KS(fq_nmod_mat_t C, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $C = AB$. Dimensions must be compatible for matrix multiplication. $C$ is not allowed to be aliased with $A$ or $B$. Uses Kronecker substitution to perform the multiplication over the integers.

void fq_nmod_mat_submul(fq_nmod_mat_t D, const fq_nmod_mat_t C, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $D = C + AB$. $C$ and $D$ may be aliased with each other but not with $A$ or $B$.

Inverse¶

int fq_nmod_mat_inv(fq_nmod_mat_t B, fq_nmod_mat_t A, fq_ctx_t ctx)¶

Sets $B = A^{-1}$ and returns $1$ if $A$ is invertible. If $A$ is singular, returns $0$ and sets the elements of $B$ to undefined values.

$A$ and $B$ must be square matrices with the same dimensions.

LU decomposition¶

slong fq_nmod_mat_lu(slong * P, fq_nmod_mat_t A, int rank_check, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Computes a generalised LU decomposition $LU = PA$ of a given matrix $A$, returning the rank of $A$.

If $A$ is a nonsingular square matrix, it will be overwritten with a unit diagonal lower triangular matrix $L$ and an upper triangular matrix $U$ (the diagonal of $L$ will not be stored explicitly).

If $A$ is an arbitrary matrix of rank $r$, $U$ will be in row echelon form having $r$ nonzero rows, and $L$ will be lower triangular but truncated to $r$ columns, having implicit ones on the $r$ first entries of the main diagonal. All other entries will be zero.

If a nonzero value for rank_check is passed, the function will abandon the output matrix in an undefined state and return 0 if $A$ is detected to be rank-deficient.

This function calls fq_nmod_mat_lu_recursive.

slong fq_nmod_mat_lu_classical(slong * P, fq_nmod_mat_t A, int rank_check, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Computes a generalised LU decomposition $LU = PA$ of a given matrix $A$, returning the rank of $A$. The behavior of this function is identical to that of fq_nmod_mat_lu. Uses Gaussian elimination.

slong fq_nmod_mat_lu_recursive(slong * P, fq_nmod_mat_t A, int rank_check, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Computes a generalised LU decomposition $LU = PA$ of a given matrix $A$, returning the rank of $A$. The behavior of this function is identical to that of fq_nmod_mat_lu. Uses recursive block decomposition, switching to classical Gaussian elimination for sufficiently small blocks.

Reduced row echelon form¶

slong fq_nmod_mat_rref(fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Puts $A$ in reduced row echelon form and returns the rank of $A$.

The rref is computed by first obtaining an unreduced row echelon form via LU decomposition and then solving an additional triangular system.

slong fq_nmod_mat_reduce_row(fq_nmod_mat_t A, slong * P, slong * L, slong n, fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Reduce row n of the matrix $A$, assuming the prior rows are in Gauss form. However those rows may not be in order. The entry $i$ of the array $P$ is the row of $A$ which has a pivot in the $i$-th column. If no such row exists, the entry of $P$ will be $-1$. The function returns the column in which the $n$-th row has a pivot after reduction. This will always be chosen to be the first available column for a pivot from the left. This information is also updated in $P$. Entry $i$ of the array $L$ contains the number of possibly nonzero columns of $A$ row $i$. This speeds up reduction in the case that $A$ is chambered on the right. Otherwise the entries of $L$ can all be set to the number of columns of $A$. We require the entries of $L$ to be monotonic increasing.

Triangular solving¶

void fq_nmod_mat_solve_tril(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t L, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, int unit, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $X = L^{-1} B$ where $L$ is a full rank lower triangular square matrix. If unit = 1, $L$ is assumed to have ones on its main diagonal, and the main diagonal will not be read. $X$ and $B$ are allowed to be the same matrix, but no other aliasing is allowed. Automatically chooses between the classical and recursive algorithms.

void fq_nmod_mat_solve_tril_classical(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t L, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, int unit, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $X = L^{-1} B$ where $L$ is a full rank lower triangular square matrix. If unit = 1, $L$ is assumed to have ones on its main diagonal, and the main diagonal will not be read. $X$ and $B$ are allowed to be the same matrix, but no other aliasing is allowed. Uses forward substitution.

void fq_nmod_mat_solve_tril_recursive(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t L, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, int unit, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Sets $X = L^{-1} B$ where $L$ is a full rank lower triangular square matrix. If unit = 1, $L$ is assumed to have ones on its main diagonal, and the main diagonal will not be read. $X$ and $B$ are allowed to be the same matrix, but no other aliasing is allowed.

Uses the block inversion formula

`` begin{pmatrix} A & 0 \ C & D end{pmatrix}^{-1} begin{pmatrix} X \ Y end{pmatrix} = begin{pmatrix} A^{-1} X \ D^{-1} ( Y - C A^{-1} X ) end{pmatrix} ``

to reduce the problem to matrix multiplication and triangular solving of smaller systems.

void fq_nmod_mat_solve_triu(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t U, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, int unit, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $X = U^{-1} B$ where $U$ is a full rank upper triangular square matrix. If unit = 1, $U$ is assumed to have ones on its main diagonal, and the main diagonal will not be read. $X$ and $B$ are allowed to be the same matrix, but no other aliasing is allowed. Automatically chooses between the classical and recursive algorithms.

void fq_nmod_mat_solve_triu_classical(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t U, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, int unit, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶: Sets $X = U^{-1} B$ where $U$ is a full rank upper triangular square matrix. If unit = 1, $U$ is assumed to have ones on its main diagonal, and the main diagonal will not be read. $X$ and $B$ are allowed to be the same matrix, but no other aliasing is allowed. Uses forward substitution.

void fq_nmod_mat_solve_triu_recursive(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t U, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, int unit, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Sets $X = U^{-1} B$ where $U$ is a full rank upper triangular square matrix. If unit = 1, $U$ is assumed to have ones on its main diagonal, and the main diagonal will not be read. $X$ and $B$ are allowed to be the same matrix, but no other aliasing is allowed.

Uses the block inversion formula

`` begin{pmatrix} A & B \ 0 & D end{pmatrix}^{-1} begin{pmatrix} X \ Y end{pmatrix} = begin{pmatrix} A^{-1} (X - B D^{-1} Y) \ D^{-1} Y end{pmatrix} ``

to reduce the problem to matrix multiplication and triangular solving of smaller systems.

Nonsingular square solving¶

int fq_nmod_mat_solve(fq_nmod_mat_t X, const fq_nmod_mat_t A, const fq_nmod_mat_t B, const fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Solves the matrix-matrix equation $AX = B$.

Returns $1$ if $A$ has full rank; otherwise returns $0$ and sets the elements of $X$ to undefined values.

Transforms¶

void fq_nmod_mat_similarity(fq_nmod_mat_t M, slong r, fq_nmod_t d, fq_nmod_ctx_t ctx)¶

Applies a similarity transform to the $n\times n$ matrix $M$ in-place.

If $P$ is the $n\times n$ identity matrix the zero entries of whose row $r$ ($0$-indexed) have been replaced by $d$, this transform is equivalent to $M = P^{-1}MP$.

Similarity transforms preserve the determinant, characteristic polynomial and minimal polynomial.

The value $d$ is required to be reduced modulo the modulus of the entries in the matrix.
