Abstract

The calculation of canonical forms for matrices plays an important role
in many computations. Our aim is to develop effective algorithms for
finding canonical forms of matrices over various domains. In principle
it is easy, but it can be difficult if the matrix is large.


Various different strategies have been proposed for integer matrices,
primarily trying to avoid the major obstacle that occurs in such
computations: explosive growth in size of intermediate entries. We
present new algorithms with excellent performance. We investigate the
complexity of such computations, indicating relationships with
NP-complete extended gcd problems.
