I have the toy example belowto compare the direct use of smith_form and the combination of hermite_form and smith_form.
Last execution (there are random inputs) gave: CPU times: user 2.22 s, sys: 5.93 ms, total: 2.23 s Wall time: 2.23 s CPU times: user 454 ms, sys: 990 µs, total: 455 ms Wall time: 456 ms %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% R.<t> = QQ[] n = 3 m = 5 ds = (n, m) M = MatrixSpace(R, n, m) V = random_vector(R, n) A0 = Matrix(R, n, m) A0[0, 0] = R.random_element() for j in range(1, n): A0[j, j] = A0[j -1, j - 1] * R.random_element() def par(n): i1 = ZZ.random_element(0,n) j1 = i1 while j1 == i1: j1 = ZZ.random_element(0,n) return (i1, j1) def smith_hermite(A): D1, U1 = A.hermite_form(transformation=True) D, U2, V = D1.smith_form() U = U2 * U1 return D, U, V P = {j: identity_matrix(R, ds[j]) for j in range(2)} s = 20 for k in range(2): for a in range(s): i, j = par(n) f = R.random_element() P[k].add_multiple_of_row(i, j ,f) i, j = par(n) P[k].swap_rows(i, j) i, j = par(n) f = R.random_element() P[k].add_multiple_of_column(i, j ,f) i, j = par(n) P[0].swap_columns(i, j) A = P[0] * A0 * P[1] %time D, U, V = A.smith_form() %time D1, U1, V1 = smith_hermite(A) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
