On the Product of Linear Forms

From MaRDI portal





Another proof of Minkowski's theorem on the product of two inhomogeneous linear forms. From the introduction: Several proofs of this result have been published, and two proofs of its extension to \(n=3\). References through 1936 are given on p. 19 in [\textit{J. F. Koksma}, Diophantische Approximationen. Berlin: Springer (1936; Zbl 0012.39602)]. A new proof for \(n=2\) was given recently by \textit{L. J. Mordell} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 16, 86--88 (1941; Zbl 0060.11904; JFM 67.0987.01)]; and a very simple proof for \(n=3\) was given by \textit{H. Davenport} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 14, 47--51 (1939; Zbl 0020.20502; JFM 65.0174.01)]. (Added in 2015)
