A lattice $d$-simplex is the convex hull of $d+1$ affinely independent integer points in ${\mathbb R}^d$. It is called empty if it contains no lattice point apart of its $d+1$ vertices. The classification of empty $3$-simplices is known…
For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $\Delta(A)$ denote the spread of $A$, which is the ratio of the maximum pairwise distance to the minimum pairwise distance. For a positive integer $n$, let $\gamma_d(n)$ denote the largest…
The aim of this work is to study some lattice diagram polynomials $\Delta_D(X,Y)$. We recall that $M_D$ denotes the space of all partial derivatives of $\Delta_D$. In this paper, we want to study the space $M^k_{i,j}(X,Y)$ which is the sum…
The main purpose of this paper is to report on the state of the art of computing integer hulls and their facets as well as counting lattice points in convex polytopes. Using the polymake system we explore various algorithms and…
Chv\'{a}tal and Klincsek (1980) gave an $O(n^3)$-time algorithm for the problem of finding a maximum-cardinality convex subset of an arbitrary given set $P$ of $n$ points in the plane. This paper examines a generalization of the problem,…
In this paper, we propose a class of elementary plane geometry problems closely related to the title of this paper. Here, a circle is the 1-dimensional curve bounding a disk. For any nonnegative integer, a circle is called $n$-enclosing if…
The contact polytope of a lattice is the convex hull of its shortest vectors. In this paper we classify the facets of the contact polytope of the Leech lattice up to symmetry. There are 1,197,362,269,604,214,277,200 many facets in 232…
The combinatorial diameter of a polytope $P$ is the maximum value of a shortest path between two vertices of $P$, where the path uses the edges of $P$ only. In contrast to the combinatorial diameter, the circuit diameter of $P$ is defined…
In this paper we study the classification problem of convex lattice ploytopes with respect to given volume or given cardinality.
We introduce the multi-width of a lattice polytope and use this to classify and count all lattice tetrahedra with multi-width $(1,w_2,w_3)$. The approach used in this classification can be extended into a computer algorithm to classify…
Let $m>1$ be an integer, $B_m$ the set of all unit vectors of $\Bbb R^m$ pointing in the direction of a nonzero integer vector of the cube $[-1, 1]^m$. Denote by $s_m$ the radius of the largest ball contained in the convex hull of $B_m$. We…
The structure of $k$-diametral point configurations in Minkowski $d$-space is shown to be closely related to the properties of $k$-antipodal point configurations in $\mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, the maximum size of $k$-diametral point…
A convex set with nonempty interior is maximal lattice-free if it is inclusion-maximal with respect to the property of not containing integer points in its interior. Maximal lattice-free convex sets are known to be polyhedra. The precision…
Dang et al. have given an algorithm that can find a Tarski fixed point in a $k$-dimensional lattice of width $n$ using $O(\log^{k} n)$ queries. Multiple authors have conjectured that this algorithm is optimal [Dang et al., Etessami et al.],…
The goal of this paper is to design a simplex algorithm for linear programs on lattice polytopes that traces `short' simplex paths from any given vertex to an optimal one. We consider a lattice polytope $P$ contained in $[0,k]^n$ and…
Let M_n denote the number of sites in the largest cluster in critical site percolation on the triangular lattice inside a box side length n. We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C…
We propose a computational, convex hull free framework that takes advantage of the combinatorial structure of a zonotope, as for example its symmetry group, to orbitwise generate all canonical representatives of its vertices. We illustrate…
We show that up to unimodular equivalence there are only finitely many d-dimensional lattice polytopes without interior lattice points that do not admit a lattice projection onto a (d-1)-dimensional lattice polytope without interior lattice…
The problem of finding the largest connected subgraph of a given undirected host graph, subject to constraints on the maximum degree $\Delta$ and the diameter $D$, was introduced in \cite{maxddbs}, as a generalization of the Degree-Diameter…
For a given convex body K in $R^d$, a random polytope $K^{(n)}$ is defined (essentially) as the intersection of $n$ independent closed halfspaces containing $K$ and having an isotropic and (in a specified sense) uniform distribution. We…
