I'm new to Axiom, so maybe I'm doing things in a stupid way.
I want to get (estimates of) the eigenvalues of a 10x10 matrix of floats:
axiom
m := matrix([[random()$Integer for i in 1..10] for j in 1..10]); sm := m + transpose(m); smf:Matrix Float := sm
Type: Matrix(Float)
The problem is: If I now call eigenvalues(smf) on the symmetric float matrix smf Axiom 3.0 Beta (February 2005) runs for a very long time (uncomment code if you want to try it):
axiom
)set messages time on
Try this::
axiom
eigen:=eigenvalues(sm)
Type: List(Union(Fraction(Polynomial(Integer)),
SuchThat
?(Symbol,
Polynomial(Integer))))
axiom
Time: 0.02 (IN) + 0.24 (EV) + 0.31 (OT) = 0.57 sec
solve(rhs(eigen.1),15)
Type: List(Equation(Polynomial(Fraction(Integer))))
axiom
Time: 0.03 (IN) + 0.83 (EV) + 0.04 (OT) = 0.90 sec
Thank you! This helps, but doesn't answer everything. Since interestingly:
axiom
charpol := reduce(*, [ rhs(x) - lhs(x) for x in % ])
Type: Polynomial(Fraction(Integer))
axiom
Time: 0.01 (IN) + 0.01 (OT) = 0.02 sec
we cannot recover the characteristic polynomial from this solution: Even if a large number is passed to solve, accuracy does not increase.
Why would you expect to be able to recover the characteristic polynomial? There is always round off error for finite precision arithmetic. For integer approximations, it would be worse.
The command solve: (Polynomial Fraction Integer, PositiveInteger)->List Equation Polynomial Integer
solves the equation over the integers, so it is {\it not} accurate. For example:
axiom
solve(x+11/10,3)
Type: List(Equation(Polynomial(Fraction(Integer))))

Time: 0.06 (IN) + 0.01 (OT) = 0.07 sec
