Description

This paper (1) gives complete details of an algorithm to compute approximate kth roots; (2) uses this in an algorithm that, given an integer n > 1, either writes n as a perfect power or proves that n is not a perfect power; (3) proves, using Loxton's theorem on multiple linear forms in logarithms.
