Support:

This project has been funded by the SFB-TRR 195
'Symbolic Tools in Mathematics and their Application'.

Overview:

This library provides a framework for working with
non-commutative rational functions (or rather, expressions) and their linearized representations

Note:

an almost self-explaining introduction to the posibilities of the framework can be achieved by running the example for the procedure ncrepGetRegularMinimal.
