Let Q(x1, …, xn) be an indefinite quadratic form in n-variables with real coefficients, determinant D ≠ 0 and signature (r, s), r+s = n. Then it is known (e.g. see Blaney [2]) that there exist constants Γr, s depending only on r and s such for any real numbers c1, …, cn we can find integers x1, …, xn satisfying
