        <para>
            returns the determinant of a real polynomial matrix
            (computation made by FFT if W size is greater than 2*2).
        </para>
        <para>
            <literal>res=determ(W [,k])</literal><literal>k</literal> is an integer larger than the actual degree of the determinant
            of <literal>W</literal>.
        </para>
        <para>
            The default value of <literal>k</literal> is the smallest power of 2 which is larger
            than <literal>n*max(degree(W))</literal>.
        </para>
        <para>
            Method (Only if W size is greater than 2*2) : evaluate the determinant of <literal>W</literal> for the Fourier frequencies
            and apply inverse FFT to the coefficients of the determinant.
