Abstract

Let dd be a nonnegative integer, and let PRdP \subset \mathbb R^d be a dd-dimensional convex lattice polytope. In this article, we prove that the ratio of the volume of a normal-sized miniature of PP to that of PP is 1:(2d+1d),1:\binom{2d+1}{d}, which generalizes the known results for the unit hypercube and lattice simplices provided by the author. This theorem is proven by establishing that the number of horizontal miniatures of PP with resolution tt is a polynomial of degree d+1d+1 in tt whose leading coefficient is vol(P)/(d+1),\mathrm{vol}\,(P)/(d+1), which is derived from Ehrhart theory.
