> | ### D.11.3 jacobson_lib Library: jacobson.lib Purpose: Algorithms for Smith and Jacobson Normal Form Author: Kristina Schindelar, Kristina.Schindelar@math.rwth-aachen.de, Viktor Levandovskyy, levandov@math.rwth-aachen.de Overview: We work over a ring R, that is an Euclidean principal ideal domain. If R is commutative, we suppose R to be a polynomial ring in one variable. If R is non-commutative, we suppose R to have two variables, say x and d. We treat then the basering as the Ore localization of R with respect to the mult. closed set S = K[x] without 0. Thus, we treat basering as principal ideal ring with d a polynomial variable and x an invertible one. Note, that in computations no division by x will actually happen. Given a rectangular matrix M over R, one can compute unimodular (that is invertible) square matrices U and V, such that U*M*V=D is a diagonal matrix. Depending on the ring, the diagonal entries of D have certain properties. We call a square matrix D as before 'a weak Jacobson normal form of M'. It is known, that over the first rational Weyl algebra K(x)<d>, D can be further transformed into a diagonal matrix (1,1,...,1,f,0,..,0), where f is in K(x)<d>. We call such a form of D the strong Jacobson normal form. The existence of strong form in not guaranteed if one works with algebra, which is not rational Weyl algebra. References: [1] N.
