Hi, well, I have now two different alternatives to be tested: a list of matrices or a numpy array. since I am programming with scripts, I should verify which of them works better in that case. thanks for your suggestions!! Aniura On Sep 23, 12:29 pm, "John Cremona" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If you type m. you will see lots of things you can do with a matrix m. For example m.subdivide? allows you to pick out a submatrix. The rest of your query is hard to interpret. To "create a list of equal elements", say a list of 5 copies of the matrix m, do this: sage: [m]*5 [[1.00
