@Tomoyuki C. san

Sorry for my delay. I was little bit puzzled about how to test well.

I suppose it’s better to add not only #adjugatebut all of such a
testcase about properties by instance variable.

I’m gonna make another ticket :slight_smile:

Right now, I added testcase for Matrix#adjugate and separated patches.
It ready for merging.

Take your time.


Feature #10056: [PATCH 0/1]Add #adjugate method to matrix class

Add Matrix#adjugate to make a matrix adjugate.

Adjugate is really important operator to handle matrix (especially
Exploring Data with ruby)

# Property

* Any n-th matrix  `m`(object of Matrix class) Satisfy the following 
conditions

Matrix.identity(n) == (m.adjugate * m) / m.det

# Differential vector or matrix
Let A = (a(i, j)) is n-th matrix, A(i, j) is adjugate matrix excluding 
the j and column i row A.

def. ∂det(A)/∂a(i,j) = (-1) ** (i + j) * det(A(i, j))

Some people regards adjugate matrix as Hermitian adjoint.

I regard adjuate matrix as transpose of the cofactor matrix by
referencing Adjugate matrix - Wikipedia.
