rank of a matrix code example
Example: algorithm to fing the rank of the matrix
const double EPS = 1E-9;
int compute_rank(vector<vector<double>> A) {
int n = A.size();
int m = A[0].size();
int rank = 0;
vector<bool> row_selected(n, false);
for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) {
int j;
for (j = 0; j < n; ++j) {
if (!row_selected[j] && abs(A[j][i]) > EPS)
break;
}
if (j != n) {
++rank;
row_selected[j] = true;
for (int p = i + 1; p < m; ++p)
A[j][p] /= A[j][i];
for (int k = 0; k < n; ++k) {
if (k != j && abs(A[k][i]) > EPS) {
for (int p = i + 1; p < m; ++p)
A[k][p] -= A[j][p] * A[k][i];
}
}
}
}
return rank;
