Let h (m, n) = αm2 + 2δmn + βn2 be a positive definite quadratic form with determinant αβ–δ2 = 1. It may be put in the shapewith y > 0. We write (for s > 1)The function Zn(s) may be analytically continued over the whole s-plane. Its only singularity is a simple pole with residue π at s = 1.

Let ζ(s) = σn-s(Res >1) denote the Riemann zeta function; then, as is well known,, whereBmdenotes themth Bernoulli number, In this paper we investigate the possibility of similar evaluations of the Epstein zeta function ζq(s) at the rational integerss = k> 2. Letbe a positive definite quadratic form andwhere the summation is over all pairs of integers except (0, 0). In attempting to evaluate ζq(k) we are guided by Kronecker's first limit formula [11]where γ is Euler's constant,is the Dedekind eta-function, and τ is the complex number in the upper half plane, ℋ, associated with Q by the formulaOn the basis of (1.3) we would expect a formula involving functions of τ. This formula is stated in Theorem 1, (2.13).

The Epstein zeta function of f is denned to beRankin [7], Cassels [1], Ennola [5], and Diananda [4] between them proved that for every real s > 0,We prove a corresponding result for theta functions. For real α > 0, letThis function satisfies the functional equation(This may be proved by using the formula (4) below, and then twice applying the identity (8).)

This paper concludes the study of fitting polynomials by Least Squares, treated in two previous papers. The problem being concerned with the minimum of a positive definite quadratic form, it makes for conciseness to use matrix notation. We shall therefore adopt the following conventions :—The n values of the variable x, of the data u0, u1, …, un−1, of certain polynomials qr(x) entering into the solution, and so on, will be regarded compositely as vectors. They will be imagined as having their components or elements disposed in column array, but when written in full will be written horizontally, to save space, enclosed by curled brackets. Row vectors, when written out in full, will be enclosed by square brackets. In the shorter notation we shall write, for example, u, x for column vectors, u′, x′ for the row vectors obtained by transposition. The vectors occurring in the problem will be the following:—

Let be a positive definite quadratic form of determinant D, and let M be the minimum of f(x) for integral x ≠ 0. Then we set and the maximum being over all positive forms f in n variables. f is said to be extreme if y γn(f) is a local maximum for varying f, absolutely extreme if y γ(f) is an absolute maximum, i.e. if y γ(f) = γn.

Bambah (1) has recently determined the most economical covering of three dimensional space by equal spheres whose centres form a lattice, the density of this covering being1.1.As is well known, this problem may be interpreted in terms of the inhomogeneous minimum of a positive definite quadratic form.

Abstract Let E(s, Q) be the Epstein zeta function attached to a positive definite quadratic form of discriminant D < 0, such that h(D) ≥ 2, where h(D) is the class number of the imaginary quadratic field ${{\mathbb{Q}}(\sqrt D)}$ . We denote by N E (σ1, σ2, T) the number of zeros of E(s, Q) in the rectangle σ1 < Re(s) ≤ σ2 and T ≤ Im (s) ≤ 2T, where 1/2 < σ1 < σ2 < 1 are fixed real numbers. In this paper, we improve the asymptotic formula of Gonek and Lee for N E (σ1, σ2, T), obtaining a saving of a power of log T in the error term.

Let f = f(x1, …, xn) be a positive definite quadratic form in n ( ≤ 8) variables; then we consider the old problem of estimating the minimum of f (its least value for integers xi not all 0) in terms of the determinant Δ(f). Normalizing by supposing the minimum to be 1, the known results may be stated aseach inequality being best possible. Further, for each n, all forms for which equality holds in (1) have integral coefficients and are equivalent to each other.
