Abstract

We consider an optimal stretching problem for strictly convex domains in Rd\mathbb{R}^d that are symmetric with respect to each coordinate hyperplane, where stretching refers to transformation by a diagonal matrix of determinant 11. Specifically, we prove that the stretched convex domain which captures the most positive lattice points in the large volume limit is balanced: the (d1)(d-1)-dimensional measures of the intersections of the domain with each coordinate hyperplane are equal. Our results extend those of Antunes & Freitas, van den Berg, Bucur & Gittins, Ariturk & Laugesen, van den Berg & Gittins, and Gittins & Larson. The approach is motivated by the Fourier analysis techniques used to prove the classical #{(i,j)Z2:i2+j2r2}=πr2+O(r2/3)\#\{(i,j) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 : i^2 +j^2 \le r^2 \} =\pi r^2 + \mathcal{O}(r^{2/3}) result for the Gauss circle problem.
