2017-04-21 05:36:18 +0200 commented answer Jacobian matrix rank

I would like to compute rank over the field of rationals. That is if there are rational numbers a,b and c such that a diff(p,x) + b diff(p,y) + c diff(p,z) =0 but a,b,c non zero then rank should be 3. What is the way to code this ?

Consider the following code :

R.<x,y,z> = QQ[];

p=(x-y)(y-z)(x-z);

J = matrix(R,[[x-y],[y]]);

J.rank();

The answer displayed is 1. This is the rank over the polynomia ring I suppose. I would like to compute rank over the field of rationals. That is if there are rational numbers a,b and c such that a diff(p,x) + b diff(p,y) + c diff(p,z) =0 but a,b,c non zero then rank should be 3.
