Let A(m), B(n) be positive definite integral matrices and suppose that B is represented by A over each p-adic integers ring Zp. Using the circle method or theory of modular forms in case of n = 1, B, if sufficiently large, is represented by A provided that m ≥ 5. The approach via the theory of modular forms has been extended by [7] to Siegel modular forms to obtain a partial result in the particular case when n = 2, m ≥ 7.
