Feb 12, 2013 at 10:36 comment added user31317 Here is an other interesting question. Can you compute that efficiently?
Feb 12, 2013 at 10:29 comment added user31317 The volume is the absolute value of determinant of matrix $A$ which has as columns the vectors $u_{1},...,u_{n}$. If you change $u_{1}$ with $a_{i} = x_{1}u_{1}+...+x_{n}u_{n}$ (let $|x_{1}|\geq 1$) then the volume of the new parallelepiped will be $|x_{1}||det(A)|$ is that right? I believe you are correct!!!
Feb 12, 2013 at 10:18 comment added user31317 Observe that $v_{1},...,v_{n}$ are not orthonormal...
Feb 12, 2013 at 10:06 comment added user31317 @Anton: Can you explain why by exchanging $u_{k}$ and $a_{i}$ the volume is increased?
Feb 12, 2013 at 5:53 comment added Anton Petrunin @Misha: I do not think you are right; if $|x_i|>1$ once then you can increase the volume.
Feb 11, 2013 at 22:33 comment added Misha Anton: The last version does not work since some $|x_k|$ could be (much) larger than $1$ and some (much) smaller. It is easy to construct examples with $n=2$ and $m=3$.
