In mathematics, Minkowski's second theorem is a result in the Geometry of numbers about the values taken by a norm on a lattice and the volume of its fundamental cell. ==Setting== Let ''K'' be a closed convex centrally symmetric body of positive finite volume in ''n''-dimensional Euclidean space R''n''. The ''gauge''〔Siegel (1989) p.6〕 or ''distance''〔Cassels (1957) p.154〕〔Cassels (1971) p.103〕 Minkowski functional ''g'' attached to ''K'' is defined by : Conversely, given a norm ''g'' on R''n'' we define ''K'' to be : Let Γ be a lattice in R''n''. The successive minima of ''K'' or ''g'' on Γ are defined by setting the ''k''-th successive minimum λ''k'' to be the infimum of the numbers λ such that λ''K'' contains ''k'' linearly independent vectors of Γ. We have 0 < λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λ''n'' < ∞. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minkowski's second theorem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
