In this paper we consider computing determinants of polynomial matrices symbolically. Determinant computation of matrices with polynomial entries in a small number of variables is of particular interest since it commonly appears in solving engineering design problems. A parallel algorithm based on multivariate Newton polynomial interpolation with "cut-surface" (total degree bound) is presented and its efficiency is demonstrated by showing computational results for some practical examples from control system design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
