21:46 CoCoALib Feature #678: Accumulator (like a geobucket)
Note: perhaps also consider the design of C++ @std::accumulate@? Is there anything in BOOST?
My (vague) idea is t...

21:36 CoCoALib Feature #678: Accumulator (like a geobucket)
I have just written @DetDirect@ which computes the sum of many terms (one for each permutation). In order to get dec... John Abbott
21:30 CoCoALib Feature #678 (In Progress): Accumulator (like a geobucket)
Consider creating a general "accumulator" for ring elems, a sort of generalization of a geobucket. John Abbott

09:18 CoCoALib Slug #675: Matrix determinant over multivariate poly ring
In my specific instance the direct algorithm (as alternating sum of products) would be best.
The problem with mult...

11:53 CoCoALib Bug #15: Adjoint of a non-invertible matrix
I am planning to implement a direct algorithm: each entry in the @adj@ is just a determinant, and each determinant is... John Abbott

15:59 CoCoALib Bug #15: Adjoint of a non-invertible matrix
Even @AdjByDetOfMinors@ takes too long for a 6x6 matrix of distinct indets. Why?

15:22 CoCoALib Bug #15: Adjoint of a non-invertible matrix
@adj@ is a very simple function: it chooses between @AdjByDetOfMinors@ and @AdjByInverse@.
What do you think @AdjB...

14:52 CoCoALib Bug #15 (In Progress): Adjoint of a non-invertible matrix
I do not recall when, but @adj@ has aleady been added to CoCoALib.
It has a *VERY BAD SLUG*: even after several mi...
