rationalNormalForm -- rational normal form of a matrix

Synopsis

• Usage:

  (B,P,Q) = rationalNormalForm A

  (B,P) = rationalNormalForm(A,ChangeMatrix=>{true,false})

  (B,Q) = rationalNormalForm(A,ChangeMatrix=>{false,true})

  B = rationalNormalForm(A,ChangeMatrix=>{false,false})

• Inputs:
  • A, a matrix, a square matrix with constant entries
• Optional inputs:
  • ChangeMatrix => ..., default value {true, true}
• Outputs:
  • B, a matrix, the rational normal form of A
  • P, a matrix, invertible (left) change of basis matrix
  • Q, a matrix, invertible (right) change of basis matrix
