Characteristic polynomial #

We define the characteristic polynomial of f : M →ₗ[R] M, where M is a finite and free R-module. The proof that f.charpoly is the characteristic polynomial of the matrix of f in any basis is in LinearAlgebra/Charpoly/ToMatrix.

    The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem, that the characteristic polynomial of a linear map, applied to the linear map itself, is zero.

    See Matrix.aeval_self_charpoly for the equivalent statement about matrices.
