Abstract

A new randomized algorithm is presented for computation of the Frobenius form and transition matrix for an n × n matrix over a field. Using standard matrix and polynomial arithmetic, the algorithm has an asymptotic expected complexity that matches the worst case complexity of the best known deterministic algorithmic for this problem, recently given by Storjohann and Villard [16]. The new algorithm is based on the evaluation of Krylov spaces, rather than an climination technique, and may therefore be superior when applied to sparse or structured matrices with a small number of invariant factors.
