Abstract: For any varepsilon>0 we derive effective estimates for the size of a non-zero integral point minmathbbZdsetminus0 solving the Diophantine inequality lvertQ[m]vert<varepsilon, where Q[m]=q1m12+ldots+qdmd2 denotes a non-singular indefinite diagonal quadratic form in dgeq5 variables. In order to prove our quantitative variant of the Oppenheim conjecture, we extend an approach developed by Birch and Davenport [BD58b] to higher dimensions combined with a theorem of Schlickewei [Sch85]. The result obtained is an optimal extension of Schlickewei's result, giving bounds on small zeros of integral quadratic forms depending on the signature (r,s), to diagonal forms up to a negligible growth factor.
