The lattice diameter of a bounded set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ measures the maximal number of lattice points in a segment whose endpoints are lattice points in $S$. Such a segment is called a lattice diameter segment of $S$. This simple…
We present a short elementary proof of the following Twelve Points Theorem: Let M be a convex polygon with vertices at the lattice points, containing a single lattice point in its interior. Denote by m (resp. m*) the number of lattice…
The parametric lattice-point counting problem is as follows: Given an integer matrix $A \in Z^{m \times n}$, compute an explicit formula parameterized by $b \in R^m$ that determines the number of integer points in the polyhedron $\{x \in…
Let $D=(V,A)$ be a digraph whose underlying undirected graph is $2$-edge-connected, and let $P$ be the polytope whose vertices are the incidence vectors of arc sets whose reversal makes $D$ strongly connected. We study the lattice theoretic…
A lattice polytope translated by a rational vector is called an almost integral polytope. In this paper we investigate Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of almost integral polytopes. We study the relationship between the shape of the polytopes and…
We derive a formula for the number of lattice points in type B generalized permutohedra, providing a concise alternative to the formula obtained recently by Eur, Fink, Larson, and Spink as a result from a study of delta-matroids. Our…
In this article we will show that for every natural $d$ and $n>1$ there exists a natural number $t$ such that for every $d$-dimensional simplicial complex $\mathcal{T}$ with vertices in $\mathbb{Z}^d$, the number of lattice points in the…
The Ehrhart quasipolynomial of a rational polytope $\mathsf{P}$ encodes fundamental arithmetic data of $\mathsf{P}$, namely, the number of integer lattice points in positive integral dilates of $\mathsf{P}$. Ehrhart quasipolynomials were…
We present an algorithm for growing the denominator $r$ polygons containing a fixed number of lattice points and enumerate such polygons containing few lattice points for small $r$. We describe the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of a rational…
We confirm a conjecture of Monical, Tokcan and Yong on a characterization of the lattice points in the Newton polytopes of key polynomials.
The Ehrhart quasipolynomial of a rational polytope $P$ encodes the number of integer lattice points in dilates of $P$, and the $h^*$-polynomial of $P$ is the numerator of the accompanying generating function. We provide two decomposition…
A novel basis of discrete analytic polynomials on a rhombic lattice is introduced and the associated convolution product is studied. A class of discrete analytic functions that are rational with respect to this product is also described.
The Tutte polynomial for matroids is not directly applicable to polymatroids. For instance, deletion-contraction properties do not hold. We construct a polynomial for polymatroids which behaves similarly to the Tutte polynomial of a…
We present algorithms for classifying rational polygons with fixed denominator and number of interior lattice points. Our approach is to first describe maximal polygons and then compute all subpolygons, where we eliminate redundancy by a…
The component-by-component construction is the standard method of finding good lattice rules or polynomial lattice rules for numerical integration. Several authors have reported that in numerical experiments the generating vector sometimes…
We investigate generalizations of the Charlier and the Meixner polynomials on the lattice N and on the shifted lattice N+1-\beta. We combine both lattices to obtain the bi-lattice N \cup (N+1-\beta) and show that the orthogonal polynomials…
We present a formula for the degree of the discriminant of a smooth projective toric variety associated to a lattice polytope P, in terms of the number of integral points in the interior of dilates of faces of dimension greater or equal…
We prove that a rational pseudointegral triangle with exactly one lattice point in its interior has at most $9$ lattice points on its boundary, where a polygon $P$ is called pseudointegral if the Ehrhart function of $P$ is a polynomial. We…
Polytope theory has produced a great number of remarkably simple and complete characterization results for face-number sets or f-vector sets of classes of polytopes. We observe that in most cases these sets can be described as the…
Motivated by questions of Mulmuley and Stanley we investigate quasi-polynomials arising in formulas for plethysm. We demonstrate, on the examples of $S^3(S^k)$ and $S^k(S^3)$, that these need not be counting functions of inhomogeneous…
