[sage-devel] not compiling 3.4.1

2009-04-30 Thread Chris Godsil
I could not compile sage-3.4.1 on my Mac (2 quad-core xeon running OS X 10.5.6). I have attached the final part of install.txt. The binary for sage-3.4.0 is working fine, so this is not an urgent problem for me. I am just reporting on the off-chance that it might be of some use. Regards Chris

I'd say the characteristic polynomial is usually defined to be det( xI-M ); this is certainly the convention in graph theory. Chris On Jun 15, 7:21 am, Minh Nguyen wrote: > Hi folks, > > In trying to improve the documentation and doctests of the database of > common graphs [1], I come across wha

[sage-devel] complementary problem

2010-07-12 Thread Chris Godsil
If G is a graph and A = G.am() is its adjacency matrix and B = G.complement().am() is the adjacency matrix of its complement, then A+B should be a 01- matrix. The code below shows that sage does not always share this viewpoint. Cheers Chris # ## ---

I have not used matlab a lot, and not for some time, but I have colleagues in numerical optimization who use it heavily. I think there is essentially no chance that such people would move from matlab to sage. The only complaints I have heard are occasional mutterings about licensing. Matlab has ver

Simon You raise a number of very good points. In my case, my matrices are produced by some other routine or will be read in from a file. When I do type in small matrices, I've never found the syntax to be a problem. The sort of thing that has annoyed me is that matrix() and Matrix() both work, but
