Norm-Euclideanity of the integers adjoined square root two

ID: norm-euclideanity-of-the-integers-adjoined-square-root-two

The ring is a Euclidean domain for the absolute field norm. Approximate both rational coefficients of a quotient by nearest integers. If the errors are , then , giving a remainder of strictly smaller absolute norm. In particular this ring is a principal ideal domain and has trivial ideal class group.
