Abstract

The ways of using the Elliot-MacMahon algorithm to compute the Hilbert base of a system of linear Diophantine equations known so far are either not efficient or can fail to terminate. We present a version of an algorithm exploiting this range of ideas, which however is reasonably efficient as well as finite.
