A gentle introduction to PSLQ

Date: Aug 16, 2010

PSLQ is an algorithm to find integer relations between a set of real numbers. Last summer I had written an introduction to PSLQ, how it works, and how it can and has been used. This introduction, which can be downloaded below, should be easily understandable by an advanced undergraduate student.

The PSLQ algorithm is one of the basic tools of experimental mathematics. A very basic and naive implementation for Mathematica is attached to this post. The file pslq-usage.nb contains instructions and examples.

Please let me know about any bugs or mistakes.
