Let $f(x,y)=x^2+ny^2$ be the binary quadratic form of interest and consider the lattice points $S=\{ (x,y,f(x,y)) \in \mathbb{N}^3 \}$. For simplicity, we keep things only on quadrant I of the ...

Let $f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ and $f(x)=n$. Is there an algorithm to choose $a,b,c$ such that the discriminant is minimized? Where $a,b,c,n,x$ are all integers. More concretely, is there an algorithm to find $...
