摘要
We propose a method of evaluating signs of 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 determinants with b-bit integer entries using only b and (b + 1)-bit arithmetic, respectively. This algorithm has numerous applications in geometric computation and provides a general and practical approach to robustness. The algorithm has been implemented and compared with, other exact computation methods.
