D.2.10.5 sparsematrix

Procedure from library random.lib (see random_lib).

Usage:
sparsematrix(n,m,o[,u,pe,pp,b]); n,m,o,u,pe,pp,b integers

Return:
nxm matrix, about pe percent of the entries are 0, the remaining are random polynomials of degree d, u<=d<=o, with pp percent of the terms being 0, the remaining have random coefficients in the interval [1,b] [default: (pe,u,pp,b) = (0,50,75,100)]

Example:
 
LIB "random.lib";
ring r = 0,(a,b,c,d),dp;
// sparse matrix of sparse polys of degree <=2:
print(sparsematrix(3,4,2));"";
