Abstract
Let be a locally compact non-discrete field of characteristic and be a non-degenerate isotropic binary quadratic form with coefficients in . We obtain asymptotic estimates for the number of solutions in the two-fold product of a discrete subring inside , of the inequalities of the form for some , where is an ultrametric absolute value on . The estimates are obtained in terms of continued fraction expansions of the coefficients of the quadratic form .

The results in the $p$-adic set up are omitted as the $p$-adic version of Lemma $1$ may not be true, which was used in the previous version
