We classify lattice $3$-polytopes of width larger than one and with exactly $6$ lattice points. We show that there are $74$ polytopes of width $2$, two polytopes of width $3$, and none of larger width. We give explicit coordinates for…

We study the lattice width of lattice-free polyhedra given by $\mathbf{A}\mathbf{x}\leq\mathbf{b}$ in terms of $\Delta(\mathbf{A})$, the maximal $n\times n$ minor in absolute value of $\mathbf{A}\in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times n}$. Our main…

Recently $C^m$-conforming finite elements on simplexes in arbitrary dimension are constructed by Hu, Lin and Wu. The key in the construction is a non-overlapping decomposition of the simplicial lattice in which each component will be used…

For a lattice $L$ of $R^n$, a sphere $S(c,r)$ of center $c$ and radius $r$ is called {\em empty} if for any $v\in L$ we have $\Vert v - c\Vert \geq r$. Then the set $S(c,r)\cap L$ is the vertex set of a {\em Delaunay polytope}…

Let $\Delta$ be an $n$-dimensional lattice polytope. The smallest non-negative integer $i$ such that $k \Delta$ contains no interior lattice points for $1 \leq k \leq n - i$ we call the degree of $\Delta$. We consider lattice polytopes of…

We show that all stack-sorting polytopes are simplices. Furthermore, we show that the stack-sorting polytopes generated from $Ln1$ permutations have relative volume 1. We establish an upper bound for the number of lattice points in a…

This note provides a simple proof for the equality between the normalized volume of a convex polytope with $m$ vertices and the mixed volume of $m$ simplices and thus shows the seemingly restrictive problem of computing mixed volume of…

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…

We introduce the arithmetic width of a convex body, defined as the number of distinct values a linear functional attains on the lattice points within the body. Arithmetic width refines lattice width by detecting gaps in the lattice point…

The mean width of a convex body is the average distance between parallel supporting hyperplanes when the normal direction is chosen uniformly over the sphere. The Simplex Mean Width Conjecture (SMWC) is a longstanding open problem that says…

A clean lattice tetrahedron is a non-degenerate tetrahedron with the property that the only lattice points on its boundary are its vertices. We present some new proofs of old results and some new results on clean lattice tetrahedra, with an…

We find tight estimates for the minimum number of proper subspaces needed to cover all lattice points in an n-dimensional convex body symmetric about the origin. We also find the order of magnitude of the number of (n-1)-dimensional…

It is known that polytopes with at most two nonsimple vertices are reconstructible from their graphs, and that $d$-polytopes with at most $d-2$ nonsimple vertices are reconstructible from their 2-skeletons. Here we close the gap between 2…

Each straight infinite line defined by two vertices of a finite square point lattice contains (covers) these two points and a - possibly empty - subset of points that happen to be collinear to these. This work documents vertex subsets of…

The diameter of a strongly connected $d$-dimensional simplicial complex is the diameter of its dual graph. We provide a probabilistic proof of the existence of $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with diameter $ (\frac{1}{d \cdot d!} -…

We investigate simplicial complexes deterministically growing from a single vertex. In the first step, a vertex and an edge connecting it to the primordial vertex are added. The resulting simplicial complex has a 1-dimensional simplex and…

Given a lattice L in Z^m and a subset A of R^m, we say that a point in A is lonely if it is not equivalent modulo L to another point of A. We are interested in identifying lonely points for specific choices of L when A is a dilated standard…
