minor

r, c

<p>A minor of a matrix A is the determinant of some smaller square matrix,
cut down from A by removing one or more of its rows and columns.
Minors obtained by removing just one row and one column from square matrices (first minors).</p>


Implementation of class "polyMatrix" for storing a matrix of polynomials and implements
basic matrix operations; including a determinant and characteristic polynomial.
It is based on the package 'polynom' and uses a lot of its methods to implement matrix operations.
This package includes 3 methods of triangularization of polynomial matrices:
Extended Euclidean algorithm which is most classical but numerically unstable;
Sylvester algorithm based on LQ decomposition;
Interpolation algorithm is based on LQ decomposition and Newton interpolation.
Both methods are described in
