2018-10-06 12:56:11 +0200	asked a question	Characteristic polynomial of symbolic matrix of size 7 There is a problem when computing the characteristic polynomial of a matrix of size greater than 7 containing a large number of symbolic variables. `a = SR.var('a', 100) M = identity_matrix(SR, 7) for i in range(7): for j in range(7): M[i,j] = a[i*7+j] print(M.charpoly().degree()) # prints 5` The value it should print is 7. Over $\mathbb{Z}[a_0,a_1,\dots]$, the result is correct. I use Sage 8.3 (Release Date: 2018-08-03), installed from the official repository of Archlinux. The bug is present both in command line and with `sage file.sage` (if I copy and paste the code above).
