Abstract
Let be a prime and a quadratic non-residue . Then the set of integral solutions of the diophantine equation form a cocompact discrete subgroup and is commensurable with the group of units of an order in a quaternion algebra over . The problem addressed in this paper is an estimate for the traces of a set of generators for . Empirical results summarized in several tables show that the trace has significant and irregular fluctuations which is reminiscent of the behavior of the size of a generator for the solutions of Pell's equation. The geometry and arithmetic of the group of units of an order in a quaternion algebra play a key role in the development of the code for the purpose of this paper.
