How to check two matrices for similitude over $\mathbb{Z}$?

General question. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n\times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{Z}$. How do I algorithmically check whether $A$ and $B$ are similar (i.e., conjugate in the ring $\mathbb{Z}^{n\times n}$)? ...

decidability special case of column generation problem

I have the following problem: Input: sub-spaces $V_1, \dots, V_d$ of $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ Question: are there $v_i \in V_i$ such that the matrix $(v_1, \dots, v_d)$ has determinant $\pm 1$ (equivalently, ...

Distribution of Smith normal forms for lower triangular matrices with given diagonals

Given integers $m$ and $n$ and $d_1, \ldots, d_m \in \mathbb{Z}/n \mathbb{Z}$, consider the set of all lower-triangular matrices of dimension $m$ with diagonal elements equal to $d_i$. What can be ...

On design of a (preferrably unimodular) matrix

Assume each entry is in $\Bbb Z$. Say we want to solve $Ax=b$ where known $A$ is $n\times n$, unknown $x$ is $n\times1$ and $b$ is $n\times1$. The absolute value of minors of augmented matrix $[A|b]$...

Catalog of integral symmetric matrices

Let $g$ be an integral symmetric matrix (perhaps with even diagonal components), and define an equivalence relation $g\sim g'$ if $g=Ug'U^T$ with $U$ a unimodular integral matrix. For fixed $\det g$ (...

Finding special vectors generated by a matrix

Let $G\in \Bbb Z^{n\times n}$ be a unimodular matrix. Are there any efficient algorithms to find the maximum norm of a vector $v$ that satisfies $\langle\Delta(v),v\rangle=0$ over all vectors $v\in ...

Comparing the volume of a rational lagrangian under a linear symplectomorphism.

Let's fix the standard symplectic structure $(\mathbb{R}^{2g}, \omega, J)$. A (marked) symplectic lattice then has the form $A\mathbb{Z}^{2g}$ for $A \in Sp_{2g}\mathbb{R}$. We say a vector subspace $...
