Re: Experimental mathematics
Hi bobbym,
I entered this: pslq([92,1,5,10,25])
and output is [0, 0, -1, -2, 1]
I don't know what I'm missing!

Re: Experimental mathematics
Hi;
That answer is right but it is not very useful. It says:
0*92 = 0*1 - 1*5 - 2*10 + 1 * 25
Maybe if you enter the values as floating point? [92.00000000000000000, 1.000000000000000000, 5.0000000000000000, 10.000000000000000, 25.000000000000000]
Adjust the number of zeros to match your precision.

I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Hi bobbym,
Still no fruit.
I think it's not problem with precision, still looking around.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Hi gAr;
Continue working with it. It may be that the algorithm I am using is the best. I am just looking at a site where his pslq blows up for some inputs while mine keeps on going.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Ok. This one stops after one solution. Does not continue to search other solutions.
Looking for way to control that.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Hi gAr;
At the bottom of this page is a Sage implementation ( I think ) of the PSLQ. It is very similar to mine. Check it out and see what you think.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Hi bobbym,
I went there when you first mentioned about PSLQ. I'll read again and see if I can get something.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Or I can give you mine and we can start translating it. That would make compatibility between our answers.

Re: Experimental mathematics
That's okay with me.
I found this link useful from the sagetrac page: http://crd.lbl.gov/~dhbailey/mpdist/
But got a runtime error when running mathtool.

I should have run mathinit before that. Now it's ok.

Re: Experimental mathematics
Very good! I think you understand computers. You have to play with them, and then force them to do what you want.
That shows that we can solve some diophantine equations with the PSLQ.
Supposing we need to find one integer solution to
95 c - 40 b -499 a = 141
We would just PSLQ this vector [ 141, 95, - 40, -499]
What do you get?

Re: Experimental mathematics
Yes, I get
Relation: 0 =
+ 4.* 141
+ 1.* 95
+ 4.* -40
+ 1.* -499
I need to force it to check for every possible solution!

Re: Experimental mathematics
I got another solution different than that.
a = 1
b = 3
c = 8

Re: Experimental mathematics
Perhaps pslq is more appropriate for real numbers.
Does your algorithm give all the possible values for integers?

Re: Experimental mathematics
No, I never figured out how to coax it to get more of them. In some cases in the solution of equations when you have one solution you can get others by using some math at that point.
This one came up a while back
Some of the packages could do it immediately. It takes a human a very long time.
Using the methods of experimental math:
We compute it to 50 places
1.5707963267948966192313216916397514420985846996876
Then PSLQ it.

Okay.
And the answer is pi/2.

Re: Experimental mathematics
That is correct.
All that the command did was recognize 1.5707963267948966192313216916397514420985846996876 as π/2.
