Our purpose is to compare how much the F5 algorithm can gain in efficiency compared to the F4 algorithm. This can be achieve as the F5 algorithm uses the concept of signatures to foresee potential useless computation which the F4 algorithm might make represented by zero rows in the reduction of a large matrix. We experimentally show that this is a modest increase in efficiency for the parameters we tested.

For an essentially normal operator$T$, it is shown that there exists a unilateral shift of multiplicity$m$in$C$^{$*$}$(T)$if and only if γ($T$)≠0 and γ$(T)/m$. As application, we prove that the essential commutant of a unilateral shift and that of a bilateral shift are not isomorphic as$C$^{$*$}-algebras. Finally, we construct a natural$C$^{$*$}-algebra ε + ε_{*}on the Bergman space$L$_{$a$}^{$2$}($B$_{$n$}), and show that its essential commutant is generated by Toeplitz operators with symmetric continuous symbols and all compact operators.
