Abstract

This paper presents two algorithms on certain computations about Pisot numbers. Firstly, we develop an algorithm that finds a Pisot number @a such that Q[@a]=F given a real Galois extension F of Q by its integral basis. This algorithm is based on the lattice reduction, and it runs in time polynomial in the size of the integral basis. Next, we show that for a fixed Pisot number @a, one can compute [@a^n](modm) in time polynomial in (log(mn))^O^(^1^), where m and n are positive integers.
