computig all possible determinants of submatrices of a given matrix

[GUSTAVO TERRA BASTOS]

Hi all.

Is there any specific comand to compute the determinants of all square submatrices of a given 4x4 - matrix over finite fields?

best regards

Gustavo

PS: For fun, I also asked a robot from the future and it said to use the following code, but unfortunately "submatrix_iterator" doesn't exist yet:

F = FiniteField(17)
A = matrix(F, 4, [1,2,3,4, 5,6,7,8, 9,10,11,12, 13,14,15,16]) # replace the elements of the matrix with your desired matrix

dets = []
for i in range(1,5):
    for submatrix in A.submatrix_iterator(i):
        if submatrix.is_square():
            dets.append(submatrix.det())
           
print(dets)

From the ask.sagemath.org answers:

[m.minors(k) for k in range(5)]

is pretty close to what you want: you just have to flatten the list.
