Citing FLINT
When citing FLINT, the following form is recommended:
The FLINT team. FLINT: Fast Library for Number Theory, 2025. Version 3.3.1, https://flintlib.org.
@manual{flint,
key = {{FLINT}},
author = {The {FLINT} team},
title = {{FLINT}: {F}ast {L}ibrary for {N}umber {T}heory},
year = {2025},
note = {Version 3.3.1, \url{https://flintlib.org}}
}
Please consider also looking up whether there is a paper discussing the specific feature(s) in FLINT which you are using. In many cases, there is such a paper! For example, research using the ball arithmetic component of FLINT (Arb) may cite:
F. Johansson. "Arb: efficient arbitrary-precision midpoint-radius interval arithmetic", IEEE Transactions on Computers, 66(8):1281-1292, 2017. DOI: 10.1109/TC.2017.2690633
@article{7891956,
