On the complexity of inverting integer and polynomial matrices

An algorithm is presented that probabilistically computes the exact inverse of a nonsingular n × n integer matrix A using ( n 3 ( log | | A | | + log κ ( A ) ) ) 1 + o ( 1 ) bit operations. Here, | | A | | = max i j | A i j | denotes the largest entry in absolute value, κ ( A ) : = n | | A - 1 | | |...

Description
Summary:An algorithm is presented that probabilistically computes the exact inverse of a nonsingular n × n integer matrix A using ( n 3 ( log | | A | | + log κ ( A ) ) ) 1 + o ( 1 ) bit operations. Here, | | A | | = max i j | A i j | denotes the largest entry in absolute value, κ ( A ) : = n | | A - 1 | | | | A | | is the condition number of the input matrix, and the “+ o (1)” in the exponent indicates a missing factor c 1 ( log n ) c 2 ( loglog | | A | | ) c 3 for positive real constants c 1 , c 2 , c 3 . A variation of the algorithm is presented for polynomial matrices that computes the inverse of a nonsingular n × n matrix whose entries are polynomials of degree d over a field using ( n 3 d ) 1 + o ( 1 ) field operations. Both algorithms are randomized of the Las Vegas type: failure may be reported with probability at most 1/2, and if failure is not reported, then the output is certified to be correct in the same running time bound.
