I'm getting an error when trying to convert a simplicial complex into a chain complex and then extract the differential maps using the .differential operator.

def grid1d(n1, n2=None, n3=None):
    if n2 == None:
        n2 = n1
    if n3 == None:
        n3 = n1
    edges = []
    for i in range(n1+1):
        for j in range(n2+1):
            for k in range(n3+1):
                if i < n1:
                    edges.append(((i,j,k),(i+1,j,k)))
                if j < n2:
                    edges.append(((i,j,k),(i,j+1,k)))
                if k < n3:
                    edges.append(((i,j,k),(i,j,k+1)))
    return edges

comp = SimplicialComplex(grid1d(3))
chain = comp.chain_complex()
chain.differential()

Everything runs but the last line which gives me the error:

{0: Traceback (most recent call last): File "stdin", line 1, in module File "_sage_input_52.py", line 10, in module exec compile(u'open("___code___.py","w").write("# -- coding: utf-8 --\n" + _support_.preparse_worksheet_cell(base64.b64decode("Y29tcCA9IFNpbXBsaWNpYWxDb21wbGV4KGdyaWQxZCgzKSkKY2hhaW4gPSBjb21wLmNoYWluX2NvbXBsZXgoKQpjaGFpbi5kaWZmZXJlbnRpYWwoKQ=="),globals())+"\n"); execfile(os.path.abspath("___code___.py")) File "", line 1, in module

Any help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

What happens if you do d0 = chain.differential(0) and d1 = chain.differential(1)? (This may be a bug in the code for displaying large matrices.)

Those both give errors nearly identical to the original error. However changing it to comp = SimplicialComplex(grid1d(1)) computes correctly. So maybe it is just something about large matricies. Also matrix.identity(19) computes correctly, but matrix.identity(20) fails with a similar error. I've reported this as a bug.

I cannot reproduce your error from the command line, i got (on sage-5.9-beta5):

sage: chain.differential()
{0: 0 x 64 dense matrix over Integer Ring,
 1: 64 x 144 sparse matrix over Integer Ring}

However i can reproduce it on the notebook. It seems that there is a bug in the notebook preventing it to print the result correctly.

I also didn't get the error in the command line. Is there a reason It would work in the command line but not in the notebook?

It seems indeed to be a bug about printing matrices in the notebook.
