68.6 Operations for MeatAxe Matrices

Comparisons of MeatAxe Matrices

m1 = m2:

evaluates to true if the two MeatAxe matrices have the same entries and are viewed over the same field, and to false otherwise. The test for equality uses a shell script that is produced when it is needed for the first time.

m1 < m2:

evaluates to true if and only if this relation holds for the file names of the two MeatAxe matrices.

Arithmetic Operations of MeatAxe Matrices

The following arithmetic operations are admissible for MeatAxe matrices.

m1 + m2:

sum of the two MeatAxe matrices m1, m2

m1 - m2:

difference of the two MeatAxe matrices m1, m2

m1 * m2:

product of the two MeatAxe matrices m1, m2

m1 ^ m2:

conjugation of the MeatAxe matrix m1 by m2

m1 ^ n:

n-th power of the MeatAxe matrix m1, for an integer n
