In any case, I think it would be a lot better to describe what the algorithm
does instead of writing a treatise on Pfaffians. I'd presume that most people
have access to the internet, so a link to the wikipedia entry on Pfaffians and
a link to Günter Rote's paper, including the section numbers (i.e., 3.2 and
3.3), and corrections thereof (the leading coefficient of \lambda^2 in equation
(22) should be 1 rather than -1) would be more apropriate and more helpful.
Finally, if I read
\author{Timothy Daly, Gunter Rote, Martin Rubey}
(it's Günter, by the way) I'd think that the three of them implemented the
algorithm, but that's maybe only my personal view. And I must say that I was a
bit surprised that you claim copyright for pasting text from wikipedia, but did
not state the fact that most (all?) of the material is from that site.
