Let us suppose that ƒ(x, y) is an indefinite binary quadratic form that does not represent zero. If P is the real point (x0, y0) then we may define where the infimum is taken over all integral x, y. The inhomogeneous minimum of the form ƒ is defined where the supremum taken over all real points P, need only extend over some complete set of points, incongruent mod 1.
