%0 Journal Article %T A formal proof of Sasaki-Murao algorithm %A Thierry Coquand %A ANDERS MORTBERG %A VINCENT SILES %J Journal of Formalized Reasoning %D 2012 %I University of Bologna %X The Sasaki-Murao algorithm computes the determinant of any square matrix over a commutative ring in polynomial time. The algorithm itself can be written as a short and simple functional program, but its correctness involves nontrivial mathematics. We here represent this algorithm in Type Theory with a new correctness proof, using the Coq proof assistant and the SSReflect extension. %K Sasaki-Murao algorithm %K matrix determinant %K formal proof %K SSReflect %U http://jfr.unibo.it/article/view/2615
