NoFoMa

This is a package with GAP4 functions for computing maximal vectors, minimal polynomials, the rational canonical form (or Frobenius normal form) and also the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of a matrix over any field that is available in GAP.

The algorithms are based on, and a combination of:

K. Bongartz, A direct approach to the rational normal form, preprint available at https://arxiv.org/abs/1410.1683.

M. Neunhoeffer and C. E. Praeger, Computing minimal polynomials of matrices, LMS J. Comput. Math. 11 (2008), 252-279;

M. Geck, On Jacob's construction of the rational canonical form, Electron. J. Linear Algebra 36 (2020), 177-182; https://doi.org/10.13001/ela.2020.5055

M. Geck, On the Jordan-Chevalley decomposition of a matrix, preprint available at https://arXiv.org/abs/2205.05432.

Installing: Inside a GAP session, just say

gap> Read("nofoma.gd");

gap> Read("nofoma.gi");

Or unpack nfm1r0.tar.gz and place the resulting directory nofoma-1.0 inside the pkg directory of your local GAP installation. Then you can just load the package by

gap> LoadPackage("nofoma");
