Computing Popov Forms of Polynomial Matrices

This thesis gives a deterministic algorithm to transform a row reduced matrix to canon- ical Popov form. Given as input a row reduced matrix R over K[x], K a field, our algorithm computes the Popov form in about the same time as required to multiply together over K[x] two matrices of the same dimensi...
