Pick's theorem and sums of lattice points

Number Theory 2020-04-17 v1

Abstract

Pick's theorem is used to prove that if PP is a lattice polygon (that is, the convex hull of a finite set of lattice points in the plane), then every lattice point in the hh-fold sumset hPhP is the sum of hh lattice points in PP.
