摘要

We consider generalized quadratic forms over real quadratic number fields and prove, under a natural positive-definiteness condition, that a generalized quadratic form can only be universal if it contains a quadratic subform that is universal. We also construct an example illustrating that the positive-definiteness condition is necessary.
