                        Hermite basis

                        Reading time: 1min

                        Computes the Hermite decomposition of a square matrix with integer coefficients. Given a square nonsingular integer matrix A, there exists an n×n unimodular matrix U and an n×n matrix H (known as the Hermite normal form) such that AU=H.
