One month ago, the following question involving the function jordan_form was posted https://ask.sagemath.org/question/653... but it got no answer.
Answering this question requires to know how the function jordan_form was encoded, so it may be more relevant to ask directly the one who encoded this function in SageMath. Who is it?
go to
https://github.com/sagemath/sage
navigate to the file src/sage/matrix/matrix2.pyx
and use the "Blame" button
To complement @FrédéricC 's answer, here is how to find that the relevant source file is indeed src/sage/matrix/matrix2.pyx: in a SageMath session, run
sage: m = matrix(1)
sage: m.jordan_form?
At the end of the returned documentation, you can see src/sage/matrix/matrix2.pyx in the File: field.
Then you can browse the github directory to that file, as indicated by @FrédéricC.
Alternatively, you can run git blame on your computer: first open a terminal and go to the subdirectory src/sage/matrix of your SageMath root directory (the latter is returned by sage: !echo $SAGE_ROOT in a SageMath terminal). Then determine the line at which the definition of the method jordan_form starts by running
grep -n "def jordan_form" matrix2.pyx
For SageMath 9.7, the output should be:
10823: def jordan_form(self, base_ring=None, sparse=False, subdivide=True, transformation=False, eigenvalues=None, check_input=True):
Hence the line number is 10823 and you may run
git blame -L 10823 matrix2.pyx
to see the list of contributors to the method jordan_form.
Next, should I choose a relevant contributor and send him/her an email?
Since you have now access to the source code of the method, why not read it and answer yourself your own question (which was 'how is "encoded" this method', IIRC...) ?
BTW : this (mis-)use of "encoding" instead of "programming" or just "writing" jar my teeth...
