Description
|
|
|
•
|
The call sylvester(p, q, x) returns the Sylvester matrix of the polynomials p and q with respect to x. Note that the determinant of this matrix is equal to  .
|
|
•
|
If p is of degree m in x and q is of degree n in x then the output is a square matrix of dimension  .
|
|
•
|
The polynomials p and q must be expanded in x, because the coeff function is used on p and q to determine the entries of the matrix.
|
|
•
|
The command with(linalg,sylvester) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
