Average-sized miniatures and normal-sized miniatures of lattice polytopes
Abstract
Let be an integer and let be a -dimensional lattice polytope. We call a polytope such that and a {\itshape miniature} of and it is said to be {\itshape horizontal} if is transformed into by translating and rescaling. A miniature of is said to be {\itshape average-sized} (resp.~{\itshape normal-sized}) if the volume of is equal to the limit of the sequence whose -th term is the average of the volumes of all miniarures (resp.~all horizontal miniatures) whose vertices belong to We prove that, for any lattice square the ratio of the areas of an average-sized miniature of and is We also prove that, for any lattice simplex the ratio of the volume of a normal-sized miniature of to that of is This ratio is same as the known result for the hypercube provided by the author.
