algorithm finds integer relation between real numbers with
some precision. >>

<< I wrote an implementation in mupad myself (available on
request)(*). I wrote C code too (for limited search in
double or quadruple precision) >>

<< But both implementations are of limited interest now
since the LLL implementation is proposed in the quick and
free (with C sources) pari/gp number theory package. It is
order of magnitudes quicker!! >>
