Abstract: 

First I will introduce our large expression problem from symbolic modeling.
Then I will describe a method for managing large expressions in symbolic
computations which combines a hierarchical representation with signature 
calculations. As a case study, the problem of factoring matrices with 
non-polynomial entries is studied. Gaussian Elimination is used.
Results on the complexity of the approach together with benchmark 
calculations are given.
