Nov 25 at 21:07 comment added xion3582 @NoamD.Elkies I asked about this in a recent question on which you commented. I'm wondering if you could elaborate on the requisite linear algebra to be done modulo 2 (perhaps as an answer to that question)? Ideally, I would love to implement this myself in Sage for the computation of a system of totally positive units.

Apr 20, 2016 at 20:01 comment added Noam D. Elkies In gp you could do K=bnfinit(x^3+x^2-2*x-1); U=K.fu; S=bnfsignunit(K) to get a vector U of fundamental units and a matrix S of their real embeddings' signs. Then it just takes a bit of linear algebra mod 2 (possibly using matsolvemod) to construct a basis of totally positive units.
