The minimum discriminant of number fields of degree 8 and signature (2,3)

In this paper we describe how to use the algorithmic methods provided by Hunter and Pohst in order to give a complete classification of number fields of degree 8 and signature (2,3) with absolute discriminant less than a certain bound. The choice of this bound comes from the local corrections given by prime ideals to the lower estimates for discriminants obtained with the Odlyzko-Poitou-Serre method.
