Let ƒ(x 1, … , xn ) = Σaijxixj be a positive definite quadratic form of determinant D = |aij |, and let M be the minimum of f for integral x 1, … , xn not all zero. The form ƒ is said to be extreme if the ratio Mn/D does not increase when the coefficients aij of f suffer any sufficiently small variation.
