fq_zech_mat_charpoly
Synopsis
#include <flint/fq_zech_poly.h>void fq_zech_mat_charpoly(fq_zech_poly_t p, const fq_zech_mat_t M, const fq_zech_ctx_t ctx)Sets p to the characteristic polynomial \det(xI - M) of the square matrix M; throws FLINT_ERROR if M is not square. This is a wrapper of gr_mat_charpoly, which uses the Berkowitz algorithm for n \le 12 and Danilevsky's algorithm otherwise (for fq_zech_zech, from n = 5); see Characteristic and minimal polynomials.
Generated from the same template as fq_mat_charpoly, whose documentation has the details.
