BMT@MIT-MC 09/29/77 21:32:25 The file SHARE;INVERT > finds the inverse of a matrix using the adjoint method. This allows a user to compute the inverse of a matrix with bfloat entries or polynomials with floating pt. coefficients without converting to cre-form. The DETERMINANT command is used to compute cofactors, so if RATMX is FALSE (the default) the inverse is computed without changing the representation of the elements. The functions ADJOINT and INVERT are provided. The current (temporary?) implementation is inefficient for matrices of high order. The DETOUT flag if true keeps the determinant factored out of the inverse. Note: the results are not automatically expanded. If the matrix originally had polynomial entries, better appearing output can be generated by EXPAND(INVERT(mat)),DETOUT. If it is desirable to then divide through by the determinant this can be accomplished by XTHRU(%) or alternatively from scratch by EXPAND(ADJOINT(mat))/EXPAND(DETERMINANT(mat)). INVERT(mat):=ADJOINT(mat)/DETERMINANT(mat).
