Abstract :
[en] Integral binary quadratic forms have been extensively studied in order to compute the class number of real and complex quadratic fields. Many studies restricted the equivalence class of quadratic forms or identified specific forms in order to compute the class number through enumeration of equivalence classes. One often used assumption is that a given form and its negative are equivalent or are synthetically identified. This document presents a concise Lagrangian approach to integral binary quadratic forms, outlines the equivalence classes in its broadest sense and uses it to develop a general condition when a given integral binary quadratic form and its negative are equivalent. Then, the existence of integral binary quadratic forms which are non-equivalent to their negatives is proven and an elementary algorithm to determine the (non-)equivalence of a given form and its negative is outlined.
