If you want solution for this precise equation, look for "thue equation". The thue equations are some of the few for which there exists efficient methods.
for example in PARI/GP (from sage with gp_console()) sage: gp_console() GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.3.3 (released) [snip] PARI/GP is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and comes WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. Type ? for help, \q to quit. Type ?12 for how to get moral (and possibly technical) support. parisize = 8000000, primelimit = 500000 ? t = thueinit(x^3-3*x-1) \\ corresponds to the homogenized x^3-3*x*y^2-y^3 ? thue(t,1) \\ solve with rhs = 1 %2 = [[-3, 2], [-1, 1], [0, -1], [1, -3], [2, 1], [1, 0]] PS: this might be wrapped in SAGE, I didn't checked. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
