Computational Geometry of Positive Definite Quadratic Forms: Polyhedral Reduction Theories, Algorithms, and Applications (University Lecture Series, 48, Band 48) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Schürmann (mathematics, U. of Magdeburg, Germany) discusses classical questions on quadratic forms and their connections to lattice sphere packing and covering problems. Designed for advanced mathematics and physics students, this book explores the theories of Minkowski and Voronoi in unprecedented depth, revealing new applications to the properties of exceptional structures such as root lattices and the Leech lattice. Use of computer software applications to solve and explore these problems is encouraged throughout the text. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
