Parameters
|
|
R
|
-
|
the domain of computation, a commutative ring

|
-
|
a square Matrix of values in R

Description
|
|
•
|
The (indexed) parameter R, which specifies the domain of computation, a commutative ring, must be a Maple table/module which has the following values/exports:
|
|
R[`0`] : a constant for the zero of the ring R
|
|
R[`1`] : a constant for the (multiplicative) identity of R
|
|
R[`+`] : a procedure for adding elements of R (nary)
|
|
R[`-`] : a procedure for negating and subtracting elements of R (unary and binary)
|
|
R[`*`] : a procedure for multiplying elements of R (binary and commutative)
|
|
R[`=`] : a boolean procedure for testing if two elements of R are equal
|
|
