Abstract

Given an n x n matrix over the ring of differential polynomials F(t)[\D;\delta], we show how to compute the Hermite form H of A, and a unimodular matrix U such that UA=H. The algorithm requires a polynomial number of operations in terms of n, deg_D(A), and deg_t(A). When F is the field of rational numbers, it also requires time polynomial in the bit-length of the coefficients.
