Abstract
It is well known that every non-degenerate quadratic form admits a decomposition into an orthogonal sum of its anisotropic part and a hyperbolic form. This decomposition is unique up to isometry. In this paper we present an algorithm for constructing an anisotropic part of a given form with coefficients in an arbitrary number field.
