Notes

  1. 1.

    With the help of Walter, we later found the Fortran implementation in [2].

  2. 2.

    Many thanks to Hui Zhang, who also implemented the algorithm independently, so we could compare.

  3. 3.

    Compilation would make this certainly much faster.

  4. 4.

    Many thanks to Ivan Graham for suggesting this useful example during a conference in Urümqi in August 2012.
