Abstract
We introduce a new version v1.1 of NeatIBP. In this new version, a Kira interface is included. It allows the user to reduce the integration-by-parts (IBP) identity systems generated by NeatIBP using Kira in a highly automated way. This new version also implements the so-called spanning cuts method. It helps to reduce the total computational complexity of IBP reduction for certain hard problems. Another important feature of this new version is an algorithm to simplify the solution module of the syzygy equations hinted by the idea of maximal cuts.
Program summary
Program Title: NeatIBP 1.1
CPC Library link to program files:https://doi.org/10.17632/ms85fpfm7b.2
Nature of problem: Upgrading NeatIBP [1], a package to decrease the difficulty of integration-by-parts reduction (IBP) of Feynman integrals via the syzygy methods.
Solution method: We upgraded NeatIBP to its new version to increase its capability and usability. We developed an interface to Kira [2,3]. With it, the user can reduce the linear system of IBP generated by NeatIBP automatically through Kira. We implemented the so-called spanning cuts method in the new version. We also developed the syzygy simplification algorithm using the idea of maximal cut. The latter two features increased the capability of NeatIBP for solving harder Feynman integral families. Several other usability upgrades are also included in the new version.

期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
