Finding linear dependencies in integration-by-parts equations: A Monte Carlo approach

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract The reduction of a large number of scalar integrals to a small set of master integrals via Laporta’s algorithm is common practice in multi-loop calculations. It is also a major bottleneck in terms of running time and memory consumption. It involves solving a large set of linear equations where many of the equations are linearly dependent. We propose a simple algorithm that eliminates all linearly dependent equations from a given system, reducing the time and space requirements of a subsequent...
