Hi,
I am using the following program to compute the determinant of a matrix A:
double get_det(gsl_matrix * A) {
int sign=0; double det=0.0; int row_sq = mat_ptr->size1;
gsl_permutation * p = gsl_permutation_calloc(row_sq);
gsl_matrix * tmp_ptr = gsl_matrix_calloc(row_sq, row_sq);
int * signum = &sign;
gsl_matrix_memcpy(tmp_ptr, mat_ptr);
gsl_linalg_LU_decomp(tmp_ptr, p, signum);
det = gsl_linalg_LU_det(tmp_ptr, *signum);
gsl_permutation_free(p);
gsl_matrix_free(tmp_ptr);
return det;
}
Basically, the functions:
gsl_linalg_LU_decomp(tmp_ptr, p, signum); and
det = gsl_linalg_LU_det(tmp_ptr, *signum);
have been used to compute the determinant. However, I get completely
arbitrary answers.
I would be really grateful if somebody could point out a mistake and/or
provide a different method to compute the determinant.
Thanks,
