Asymmetric minima of indefinite ternary quadratic forms
R. T. Worley · Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society · 1967
Let f = f(x) = f(x1, x2,…, xn) be an indefinite n-ary quadratic form of determinant det (f); that is, f(x) = x' Ax where A is a real symmetric matrix with determinant det (f). Such a form is said to take the value v if there exists integral x ≠ 0 such that f(x) = v.
