I am looking for a Library in Java or C for doing matrix operations (mainly RANK) over certain Finite Field (GF).

I used Jama, but it has no Finite Field Functionality.

any help appreciated.

C

The best thing I would recommend to you is to use NTL library.

You will be probably interested in classes:

• mat_GF2: matrices over GF(2); includes basic matrix arithmetic operations, including determinant calculation, matrix inversion, solving nonsingular systems of linear equations, and Gaussian elimination

• mat_GF2E: matrices over GF2E; includes basic matrix arithmetic operations, including determinant calculation, matrix inversion, solving nonsingular systems of linear equations, and Gaussian elimination

It also supports rank operation you mentioned.

For more modules/classes please refer to the documentation.

JAVA

currently I am using BouncyCastle library that has some basic support for GF2, GF2^n matrices. Personally I am using source code of BouncyCastle library extending it on my own for desired features. A few useful methods are private/protected.

Please refer to JavaDoc for more information.
