Edition: 2nd edDescription: 1 online resource (xv, 732 p.)ISBN: 9780444701527; 0444701524Subject(s): Geometry of numbers | Convex bodies | Lattice theory | G�eom�etrie des nombres | Corps convexes | Treillis, Th�eorie des | Convexe lichamen | Getaltheorie | Teoria Geometrica Dos Numeros | Convex bodies | Geometry of numbers | Lattice theoryGenre/Form: Electronic books.Additional physical formats: Print version:: Geometry of numbers.DDC classification: 512/.72 LOC classification: QA241.5 | .G78 1987ebOnline resources: ScienceDirect | Volltext Summary: This volume contains a fairly complete picture of the geometry of numbers, including relations to other branches of mathematics such as analytic number theory, diophantine approximation, coding and numerical analysis. It deals with convex or non-convex bodies and lattices in euclidean space, etc. This second edition was prepared jointly by P.M. Gruber and the author of the first edition. The authors have retained the existing text (with minor corrections) while adding to each chapter supplementary sections on the more recent developments. While this method may have drawbacks, it has the definite advantage of showing clearly where recent progress has taken place and in what areas interesting results may be expected in the future.
