The authors study the Pellian equation \(x^ 2-dy^ 2=\pm m\). Gauss gave an efficient algorithm for solving it. The authors give an algorithm that is (in the authors' words ``essentially the same as Gauss' but a little more efficient and simpler''. Finally they propose an improvement of a factorization algorithm based on Shanks' SQUFOF method.
