Hilbert's Tenth Problem

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Hilbert's Tenth Problem - to find an algorithm to determine whether a polynomial equation in several variables with integer coefficients has integer solutions - was shown to be unsolvable in the late sixties. This book presents an account of results extending Hilbert's Tenth Problem to integrally closed subrings of global fields.
