THE INVARIANT FACTORS OF THE INCIDENCE MATRICES OF POINTS AND SUBSPACES IN PG(n, q) AND AG(n, q)
We determine the Smith normal forms of the incidence matrices of points and projective (r − 1)-dimensional subspaces of PG(n, q) and of the incidence matrices of points and r-dimensional affine subspaces of AG(n, q) for all n, r, and arbitrary prime power q.
متن کاملInvariants of Incidence Matrices
Incidence matrices arise whenever one attempts to find invariants of a relation between two (usually finite) sets. Researchers in design theory, coding theory, algebraic graph theory, representation theory, and finite geometry all encounter problems about modular ranks and Smith normal forms (SNF) of incidence matrices. For example, the work by Hamada [9] on the dimension of the code generated ...
متن کاملFast Parallel Computation of Hermite and Smith Forms of Polynomial Matrices*
Boolean circuits of polynomial size and poly-logarithmic depth are given for computing the Hermite and Smith normal forms of polynomial matrices over finite fields and the field of rational numbers. The circuits for the Smith normal form computation are probabilistic ones and also determine very efficient sequential algorithms. Furthermore, we give a polynomial-time deterministic sequential alg...
متن کاملEfficient parallelizations of Hermite and Smith normal form algorithms
Hermite and Smith normal form are important forms of matrices used in linear algebra. These terms have many applications in group theory and number theory. As the entries of the matrix and of its corresponding transformation matrices can explode during the computation, it is a very difficult problem to compute the Hermite and Smith normal form of large dense matrices. The main problems of the c...
متن کاملDiagonal Forms, Linear Algebraic Methods and Ramsey-Type Problems
This thesis focuses mainly on linear algebraic aspects of combinatorics. Let Nt(H) be an incidence matrix with edges versus all subhypergraphs of a complete hypergraph that are isomorphic to H. Richard M. Wilson and the author find the general formula for the Smith normal form or diagonal form of Nt(H) for all simple graphs H and for a very general class of t-uniform hypergraphs H. As a continu...
