Characteristic Polynomial Verification CHARVER Given an array CC of MM integers and a square matrix AA (with integer entries) of dimension N×NN×N, verify whether the following equation is true,C0IN+C1A+C2A2+…CM−1AM−1≡0N(mod998244353)C0IN+C1A+C2A2+…CM−1AM−1≡0N(mod998244353) where 0N0N is the square null matrix (matrix in which all elements are zero) and ININ is the identity matrix, both having dimensions N×NN×N. Note: Two matrices A,BA,B each with integer entries are said to be congruent modulo MM iff all entries of A−BA−B are divisible … Read more
