clean ===== cleans matrices (round to zero small entries) Calling Sequence ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :: B=clean(A [,epsa [,epsr]]) Arguments ~~~~~~~~~ :A a numerical matrix (scalar, polynomial, sparse...) : :epsa,epsr real numbers. Cleaning tolerances (default values resp. 1.d-10 and 1.d-10) : Description ~~~~~~~~~~~ This function eliminates (i.e. set to zero) all the coefficients with absolute value < `epsa` or relative value < `epsr` (relative means relative w.r.t. 1-norm of coefficients) in a polynomial (possibly matrix polynomial or rational matrix). Default values are `epsa=1.d-10` and `epsr=1.d-10;` For a constant (non polynomial) matrix `clean(A,epsa)` sets to zero all entries of `A` smaller than `epsa`. Examples ~~~~~~~~ :: x=`poly`_(0,'x'); w=[x,1,2+x;3+x,2-x,x^2;1,2,3+x]/3; w*`inv`_(w) clean(w*`inv`_(w))
