Minkowski's bound

Minkowski's bound is a concept from number theory, particularly in the area of algebraic number fields and lattice point counting. It is named after the mathematician Hermann Minkowski. In the context of algebraic number theory, Minkowski's bound provides a way to estimate the size of the class number of a number field. More concretely, it establishes a bound on the norms of non-zero ideals in the ring of integers of a number field.
