Abstract

Nonzero point $\gamma=(\gamma_1,\gamma_2,\gamma_3)$ of three-dimensional lattice $\Gamma$ is called by cylindrical minimum if there exist no nonzero point $\eta=(\eta_1,\eta_2,\eta_3)$ such as $$ \eta^2_1+\eta^2_2 \le \gamma^2_1+\gamma^2_2, \quad |\eta_3|\le |\gamma_3|, \quad |\gamma|<|\eta|. $$ \noinden It is proved that the average number of cylindrical minima of three-dimensional integer lattices with determinant from $[1;N]$ is equal $$ C?\ln N+O(1), $$

Keywords: minimum of lattice, multi-dimensional continuous fraction
