The goal of matrixmodp is to make two matrix algebra tasks easier when working with the fields $\mathbb{F}_p$ . Specifically, this package provides two functions: rref_p() calculates the reduced-row echelon form of a matrix, and inv_p() calculates the inverse of a (square, invertible) matrix.
You can install the public released version of matrixmodp from CRAN with:
install.packages("matrixmodp")
#> Installing package into 'C:/Users/rhigginbottom/AppData/Local/Temp/Rtmpc35hmI/temp_libpath93c0442736d5'
#> (as 'lib' is unspecified)
#> Warning: package 'matrixmodp' is not available for this version of R
#>
#> A version of this package for your version of R might be available elsewhere,
#> see the ideas at
#> https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-admin.html#Installing-packages
You can install the development version of matrixmodp from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rhigginbottom/matrixmodp")
We first provide an example of finding the RREF of a matrix with entries in $\mathbb{F}_5$ .
library(matrixmodp) entries <- c(4, 1, 2, 0, 0, 3, 4, 0, 0, 1, 4, 1) A <- matrix(entries, 3, 4) rref_p(A, 5) #> [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] #> [1,] 1 0 0 4 #> [2,] 0 1 0 1 #> [3,] 0 0 1 0
We now show how to find the inverse of a $3\times 3$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}_7$ .
library(matrixmodp) entries <- c(3, 3, 3, 2, 0, 2, 1, 2, 5) A <- matrix(entries, 3, 3) inv_p(A, 7) #> [,1] [,2] [,3] #> [1,] 6 5 1 #> [2,] 3 3 1 #> [3,] 5 0 2
Some of the code for the rref_p() function was taken from the echelon() function in the matlib package. Because of the different way row operations need to work when using entries in $\mathbb{F}_p$ , no functions could be copied entirely. This makes attribution somewhat difficult. The license chosen for this package was specifically chosen to be compatible with the license in use for the matlib package because of this overlap in code.
