Foreword

In the mid-1980s, the author started to investigate power integral bases in algebraic number fields and related Diophantine equations. To construct feasible methods requires both to develop the underlying theory of Diophantine equations and also to create algorithms. We described relations of index form equations and Thue equations and developed reduction and enumeration algorithms, involving Diophantine approximation tools and LLL algorithm. Starting with cubic number fields, within more than 10 years, we had feasible methods up to number fields of degree 5. The first edition of this book in 2002 (Diophantine Equations and Power Integral Bases, New Computational Methods, Birkhäuser Boston, 2002) was actually a thesis of the author. The book turned out to be useful in teaching university courses and in the research work of interested colleagues and PhD students. And the development of the methods did not stop. In the last 15 years, we developed several useful methods on higher degree number fields and relati
