The implementation of this algorithm is proposed numerical methods. Indeed, there are many problems of in the known Maxima system of symbolic computations. algebra and mathematical analysis, which are connected In addition, this method makes it possible to get enough with symbolic computation [13-17].

Key words: computer algebra, Maxima system, determinant, Bareiss algorithm, a quadratic form, OBJECTIVES unitriangular transformation. The main aims of this study are: INTRODUCTION - to study an algorithm for computing the determinant of a matrix without using fractions proposed by Bareiss, Modern computer algebra is inextricably linked with followed by the implementation of this algorithm in the use of computer processing technology, and especially Maxima system. with the software, which includes applied mathematical - to investigate, on the basis of this algorithm, the packages.

These packages have much in common, particularly, they inherently have a tendency for THE MAIN RESULTS OF THE RESEARCH performing numerical calculations. Although MatLab includes many tools of symbolic computations, yet the Let us consider the so-called dense matrices. A clear most effective up-today systems of analytical computation definition of dense matrices can be given to the aspect of are Maple, Maxima, Mathematica. For example, Maxima sparse matrices. The matrix of order n is called sparse, if system has a modern user interface, powerful the number of its non-zero elements does not exceed n1q visualization tools of all phases of operation, a wide range where q 1 . So for the sparse matrix of order 50 (with of functions and special packages. The packages for q 0.5) the number of its non-zero elements equals to matrix computations are especially useful [3-5]. However, built-in computer algebra system functions about 350, which accounts to a small percentage of the are not sufficient in some cases. There is a set of total number of matrix elements. As a rule, when dealing problems, such as calculating a determinant of the matrix with sparse matrices, computer algebra uses without using fractions, the solutions of which are representations, in which each row of the matrix is connected with certain algorithms, i.e. a set of commands defined by a list of non-zero elements of the row, each and functions. The extensive use of matrix algebra in being stored in memory, with indicating the number of its solving economic and technical problems makes this task column. Now it is possible to say that the dense matrices even more urgent [6, 7]. are those that do not belong to sparse ones.

It is obvious, that Gaussian elimination . (n 2,n,n 1) (n 2,n,n) algorithm requires division which can lead to fractions. In addition, for matrices with elements of a ring with zero divisors the successive elimination method may be simply We are dealing with a recursive algorithm, which in impossible. This may occur when the elements of the Maxima system can be implemented as follows: matrix has no unit divisors.

As noted in [18], there is a whole family of elimination methods without using fractions, i.e., those This algorithm is a relative of the algorithms of where all appropriate division are performed accurately. elimination elements. Indeed, consider an arbitrary Let us consider in detail a step-by-step algorithm for symbolic square matrix: computing determinants without using fractions, proposed by Bareiss, which is based on generalization of A ([a11,a12, ], [a21,a22, ], [a31,a32, ], ).

  • A Weakly Stable Algorithm for General Toeplitz Systems
    A Weakly Stable Algorithm for General Toeplitz Systems∗ Adam W. Bojanczyk Richard P. Brent School of Electrical Engineering Computer Sciences Laboratory Cornell University Australian National University Ithaca, NY 14853-5401 Canberra, ACT 0200 Frank R. de Hoog Division of Mathematics and Statistics CSIRO, GPO Box 1965 Canberra, ACT 2601 Report TR-CS-93-15 6 August 1993 (revised 24 June 1994) Abstract We show that a fast algorithm for the QR factorization of a Toeplitz or Hankel matrix A is weakly stable in the sense that RT R is close to AT A. Thus, when the algorithm is used to solve the semi-normal equations RT Rx = AT b, we obtain a weakly stable method for the solution of a nonsingular Toeplitz or Hankel linear system Ax = b. The algorithm also applies to the solution of the full-rank Toeplitz or Hankel least squares problem min kAx − bk2. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.

Some algorithms are restricted to symmetric systems (A = AT ) and others apply to general Toeplitz systems. Because of their recursive nature, most O(n2) algorithms assume that all leading principal submatrices of A are nonsingular, and break down if this is not the case.

  • Linear Algebra: Beware!
    LINEAR ALGEBRA: BEWARE! MATH 196, SECTION 57 (VIPUL NAIK) You might be expecting linear algebra to be a lot like your calculus classes at the University. This is probably true in terms of the course structure and format. But it’s not true at the level of subject matter. Some important differences are below. • Superficially, linear algebra is a lot easier, since it relies mostly on arithmetic rather than algebra. The computational procedures involve the systematic and correct application of processes for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers. But the key word here is superficially. • Even for the apparently straightforward computational exercises, it turns out that people are able to do them a lot better if they understand what’s going on. In fact, in past test questions, people have often made fewer errors when doing the problem using full-scale algebraic symbol manipulation rather than the synthetic arithmetic method. • One important difference between linear algebra and calculus is that with calculus, it’s relatively easy to understand ideas partially. One can obtain much of the basic intuition of calculus by un- derstanding graphs of functions. In fact, limit, continuity, differentaaition, and integration all have basic descriptions in terms of the graph. Note: these aren’t fully rigorous, which is why you had to take a year’s worth of calculus class to cement your understanding of the ideas. But it’s a start. With linear algebra, there is no single compelling visual tool that connects all the ideas, and conscious effort is needed even for a partial understanding. • While linear algebra lacks any single compelling visual tool, it requires either considerable visuo- spatial skill or considerable abstract symbolic and verbal skill (or a suitable linear combination thereof).

Technical reports published by the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory are freely available via the Internet: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/TechReports/ Series editor: Markus Kuhn ISSN 1476-2986 Abstract This thesis describes techniques that exploit the distributed memory in massively parallel processors to satisfy the peak memory requirements of some very large com- puter algebra problems. Our aim is to achieve balanced memory use, which differen- tiates this work from other parallel systems whose focus is on gaining speedup. It is widely observed that failures in computer algebra systems are mostly due to mem- ory overload: for several problems in computer algebra, some of the best available algorithms suffer from intermediate expression swell where the result is of reason- able size, but the intermediate calculation encounters severe memory limitations. This observation motivates our memory-centric approach to parallelizing computer algebra algorithms. The memory balancing is based on a randomized hashing algorithm for dynamic distribution of data. Dynamic distribution means that the intermediate data is allocated storage space at the time that it is created and therefore the system can avoid overloading some processing elements.

    Algebraic number fields and the LLL algorithm M. J´anos Uray [email protected] ELTE – E¨otv¨os Lor´and University (Budapest) Faculty of Informatics Department of Computer Algebra Abstract In this paper we analyze the computational costs of various operations and algorithms in algebraic number fields using exact arithmetic. Let K be an algebraic number field. In the first half of the paper, we calculate the running time and the size of the output of many operations in K in terms of the size of the input and the parameters of K. We include some earlier results about these, but we go further than them, e.g. we also analyze some R-specific operations in K like less-than comparison. In the second half of the paper, we analyze two algorithms: the Bareiss algorithm, which is an integer-preserving version of the Gaussian elimination, and the LLL algorithm, which is for lattice basis reduction. In both cases, we extend the algorithm from Zn to Kn, and give a polynomial upper bound on the running time when the computations in K are performed exactly (as opposed to floating-point approximations). 1 Introduction Exact computation with algebraic numbers is an important feature that most computer algebra systems provide. They use efficient algorithms for the calculations, arXiv:1810.01634v2 [cs.SC] 6 Nov 2020 described in several papers and books, e.g. in [1, 2, 3]. However, the computational costs of these algorithms are often not obvious to calculate, because the bit complexity depends on how much the representing multi-precision integers grow during the computation.

  • Faster Geometric Algorithms Via Dynamic Determinant Computation
    Faster Geometric Algorithms via Dynamic Determinant Computation Vissarion FisikopoulosK Luis Pe~narandao March 1, 2018 Abstract The computation of determinants or their signs is the core procedure in many im- portant geometric algorithms, such as convex hull, volume and point location. As the dimension of the computation space grows, a higher percentage of the total computa- tion time is consumed by these computations. In this paper we study the sequences of determinants that appear in geometric algorithms. The computation of a single determinant is accelerated by using the information from the previous computations in that sequence. We propose two dynamic determinant algorithms with quadratic arithmetic com- plexity when employed in convex hull and volume computations, and with linear arith- metic complexity when used in point location problems. We implement the proposed algorithms and perform an extensive experimental analysis. On one hand, our analysis serves as a performance study of state-of-the-art determinant algorithms and imple- mentations. On the other hand, we demonstrate the supremacy of our methods over state-of-the-art implementations of determinant and geometric algorithms. Our ex- perimental results include a 20 and 78 times speed-up in volume and point location computations in dimension 6 and 11 respectively. Keywords: determinant algorithms, orientation predicate, volume computation, rank- 1 updates, experimental analysis arXiv:1206.7067v3 [cs.CG] 12 Jan 2016 1 Introduction Computing the sign of a determinant, or in other words evaluating a determinant predicate, is in the core of many important geometric algorithms. For example, convex hull algorithms use orientation predicates, and Delaunay triangulation algorithms involve in-sphere predicates.

One way to increase the reliability is to formally verify that the implementations satisfy the mathematical theorems stating their spec- ification. By implementing and specifying algorithms from computer algebra inside a proof assistant both the reliability of the implementation and the com- putational capabilities of the proof assistant can be increased. This first part of the thesis presents a framework, developed in the interac- tive theorem prover Coq, for conveniently implementing and reasoning about program and data refinements. In this framework programs defined on rich dependent types suitable for proofs are linked to optimized implementations on simple types suitable for computation. The correctness of the optimized algorithms is established on the proof-oriented types and then automatically transported to the computation-oriented types. This method has been applied to develop a library containing multiple algorithms from computational alge- bra, including: Karatsuba’s polynomial multiplication, Strassen’s matrix mul- tiplication and the Sasaki-Murao algorithm for computing the characteristic polynomial of matrices over commutative rings.

Sweet Division of Maths. and Stats. Electronics Research Laboratory CSIRO DSTO Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Salisbury, SA 5108, Australia Report TR-CS-93-14 November 1993 Abstract This paper contains a numerical stability analysis of factorization algorithms for com- puting the Cholesky decomposition of symmetric positive definite matrices of displacement rank 2. The algorithms in the class can be expressed as sequences of elementary downdating steps. The stability of the factorization algorithms follows directly from the numerical prop- erties of algorithms for realizing elementary downdating operations. It is shown that the Bareiss algorithm for factorizing a symmetric positive definite Toeplitz matrix is in the class and hence the Bareiss algorithm is stable. Some numerical experiments that compare behav- ior of the Bareiss algorithm and the Levinson algorithm are presented. These experiments indicate that in general (when the reflection coefficients are not all positive) the Levinson algorithm can give much larger residuals than the Bareiss algorithm. 1 Introduction arXiv:1004.5510v1 [math.NA] 30 Apr 2010 We consider the numerical stability of algorithms for solving a linear system Tx = b, (1.1) where T is an n n positive definite Toeplitz matrix and b is an n 1 vector.
