Efficient Exact Evaluation of Signs of Determinants

Mariette Yvinec

Résumé

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on two different methods to evaluate the sign of a determinant with integer entries. The first one is a method based on the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation process which has been proposed by Clarkson. We review the analysis of Clarkson and propose a variant of his method. The second method is an extension to $n \times n$ determinants of the ABDPY method which works only for $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 3$ determinants. Both methods compute the signs of a $n \times n$ determinant whose entries are integers on $b$ bits, by using an exact arithmetic on only $b +O(n)$ bits. Furthermore, both methods are adaptive, dealing quickly with easy cases and resorting to the full-length computation only for null determinants.
