Abstract

We present an efficient algorithm for the condensation of homomorphism spaces. This provides an improvement over the known tensor condensation method which is essentially due to a better choice of bases. We explain the theory behind this approach and describe the implementation in detail. Finally, we give timings to compare with previous methods.
