Abstract

In this paper we study various Rogers-Shephard type inequalities for the lattice point enumerator Gn()\mathrm{G}_{n}(\cdot) on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. In particular, for any non-empty convex bounded sets K,LRnK,L\subset\mathbb{R}^n, we show that Gn(K+L)Gn(K(L))(2nn)Gn(K+(1,1)n)Gn(L+(1,1)n).\mathrm{G}_{n}(K+L)\mathrm{G}_{n}\bigl(K\cap(-L)\bigr) \leq\binom{2n}{n} \mathrm{G}_{n}\bigl(K+(-1,1)^n\bigr)\mathrm{G}_{n}\bigl(L+(-1,1)^n\bigr). and Gnk(PHK)Gk(KH)(nk)Gn(K+(1,1)n), \mathrm{G}_{n-k}(P_{H^\perp} K)\mathrm{G}_{k}(K\cap H)\leq\binom{n}{k}\mathrm{G}_{n}\bigl(K+(-1,1)^n\bigr), for H=lin{e1,,ek}H=\mathrm{lin}\{\mathrm{e}_1,\dots,\mathrm{e}_k\}, k{1,,n1}k\in\{1,\dots,n-1\}. Additionally, a discrete counterpart to a classical result by Berwald for concave functions, from which other discrete Rogers-Shephard type inequalities may be derived, is shown. Furthermore, we prove that these new discrete analogues for Gn()\mathrm{G}_{n}(\cdot) imply the corresponding results involving the Lebesgue measure.
