Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
Charpoly(A,x) mod p
A
-
square Matrix
x
name; specifies the variable in the characteristic polynomial
p
non-zero integer; specifies the characteristic of the ring
Given an by matrix over a ring of prime characteristic , the Charpoly( A, x ) mod p calling sequence computes the characteristic polynomial of , a monic polynomial in of degree over .
For matrices over the prime field , for a prime, Maple uses an algorithm. Otherwise, Maple uses an division free algorithm.
