Computation of the Smith Form for Multivariate Polynomial Matrices Using Maple

In this paper we show how the transformations associated with the reduction to the Smith form of some classes of mul-tivariate polynomial matrices are computed. Using a Maple implementation of a constructive version of the Quillen-Suslin Theorem, we present two algorithms for the reduction to a particular Smith form often associated with the simplification of linear systems of multidimensional equations.
