Abstract

We describe an implementation of the generalized Lagrange algorithm for computing units in algebraic number fields [Buchmann 1987a], together with extensive experimental data of the algorithm's application (to all totally real quartic fields of discriminant below 60000). We also present an improved algorithm, with related experimental data.
