Re: PSLQ and LLL?

Okay, I am sorry if I gave you that impression. I have been reading everything you said and have not intentionally put anything other than what I think in my replies. My apology if I seemed argumentative, I was not trying to be.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

No, no. There is really no need to apologize. Maybe tomorrow, when I log on with the laptop, I will have a better chance of explaining what I want.

You do not seem argumentative. Just a bit stubborn. But, then again, I am no better.

Not stubborn, passionate about numerical methods.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

Well, I did not attack it as a numerical method.

But let's leave that for tomorrow.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

Hmmm, it is tomorrow and I do not see ole anonimnystefy here.

So, I will argue with myself:

bobbym: I think the PSLQ is great.

bobbym: It sure is, it was voted one of the top 10 algorithms of the 20th century.

bobbym: I did not know that...

bobbym: Possibly it was voted number one.

bobbym: I will tell anonimnystefy when I see him.

bobbym: You do that, he might listen to you.

more to follow...

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

You have not been here whole day while I was on the laptop.

Anyway, I think you have the wrong idea. I have nothibg against PSLQ. I am kust saying that it is not a method for solving integrals, because it is always paired up with some way of numerical integration.

On the other hand, I do think that contour integration is a method for solving integrals, because to solve an integral with it you do not need anything besides it submethods.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

That is you must admit a strange distinction about why one is and why another one is not.

Let me say that coupled together PSLQ and numerical integration will do a heck of a lot more integrals than contour integration.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

It is not strange. Look at it this way: contour integration is a method for solving integrals, but solely finding the residues isn't.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

Numerical integration is a method for solving integrals but using the PSLQ isn't.

Sounds the same as your post!

But using both is a powerful method to solve definite integrals.

So did you do one with your PSLQ?

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

Well, I searched for different things.

I found an implementation of a random walk, for example.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

A random walk can be done in M extremely easily. You use the accumulate function.

M has a 1000 ways to do everything and that is its greatest strength and its biggest weakness.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

Hm. I'm not sure if that is a weakness on M's side or the user side.

Anyway, have you ran a simulation for the first two parts of the rat problem?

Yes, and it is not getting Agnishom's answer for c) so I would like to check it again before showing it.

Why not post it anyway? If there is an error somewhere, there are better chances of spotting it.

Re: PSLQ and LLL?

When 2 answers do not agree that worries me a lot. Just a wee bit more tabasco!

Of course the user is weak, it is up to the package to help him out. Not everyone is a Newton or reptile spawned. Anyway 6000 commands and 500 added on each new release can be daunting.
