Description

New methods jacobian and jacobian_det are implemented in the class DiffCoordChange managing transition maps on differentiable manifolds; they return respectively the Jacobian matrix and the Jacobian determinant of the transition map. Besides, the Jacobian determinant is no longer computed at each creation of a transition map, but only on demand. The computational method itself, implemented in MultiCoordFunction.jacobian_det, has been improved. It relies now on the standard determinant of matrices and no longer on the cofactor method. The latter was implemented as a workaround to a bug in symbolic charpoly (fixed in #14403) but had a serious performance issue in high dimensions (n > 4), as reported ​here.
