A lattice (d, k)-polytope is the convex hull of a set of points in dimension d whose coordinates are integers between 0 and k. Let {\delta}(d, k) be the largest diameter over all lattice (d, k)-polytopes. We develop a computational…

We show that the largest possible diameter $\delta(d,k)$ of a $d$-dimensional polytope whose vertices have integer coordinates ranging between $0$ and $k$ is at most $kd-\lceil2d/3\rceil$ when $k\geq3$. In addition, we show that…

Lattice-free sets (convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$ without interior integer points) and their applications for cutting-plane methods in mixed-integer optimization have been studied in recent literature. Notably, the family of all integral…

An empty simplex is a lattice simplex with only its vertices as lattice points. Their classification in dimension three was completed by White in 1964. In dimension four, the same task was started in 1988 by Mori, Morrison, and Morrison,…

We study upper bounds on the number of lattice points for convex bodies having their centroid at the origin. For the family of simplices as well as in the planar case we obtain best possible results. For arbitrary convex bodies we provide…

Minkowski proved that any $n$-dimensional lattice of unit determinant has a nonzero vector of Euclidean norm at most $\sqrt{n}$; in fact, there are $2^{\Omega(n)}$ such lattice vectors. Lattices whose minimum distances come close to…

The lattice size of a lattice polytope is a geometric invariant which was formally introduced in the context of simplification of the defining equation of an algebraic curve, but appeared implicitly earlier in geometric combinatorics.…

This thesis addresses the question of the maximal number of $d$-simplices for a simplicial complex which is embeddable into $\mathbb{R}^r$ for some $d \leq r \leq 2d$. A lower bound of $f_d(C_{r + 1}(n)) =…

In this paper we establish bounds on the number of vertices for a few classes of convex sublattice-free lattice polygons. The bounds are essential for proving the formula for the critical number of vertices of a lattice polygon that ensures…

If $\mathcal{B}\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geqslant 2$) is a compact convex domain with a smooth boundary of finite type, we prove that for almost every rotation $\theta\in SO(d)$ the remainder of the lattice point problem, $P_{\theta…

For d-dimensional irrational ellipsoids E with d >= 9 we show that the number of lattice points in rE is approximated by the volume of rE, as r tends to infinity, up to an error of order o(r^{d-2}). The estimate refines an earlier authors'…

Let $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a lattice polytope of dimension $d$. Let $b(\mathcal{P})$ denote the number of lattice points belonging to the boundary of $\mathcal{P}$ and $c(\mathcal{P})$ that to the interior of $\mathcal{P}$.…

For fixed $d\geq 3$, we construct subsets of the $d$-dimensional lattice cube $[n]^d$ of size $n^{\frac{3}{d + 1} - o(1)}$ with no $d+2$ points on a sphere or a hyperplane. This improves the previously best known bound of…

Lattice-free gradient polyhedra can be used to certify optimality for mixed-integer convex minimization models. We consider how to construct these polyhedra for unconstrained models with two integer variables under the assumption that all…

One important question in the theory of lattices is to detect a shortest vector: given a norm and a lattice, what is the smallest norm attained by a non-zero vector contained in the lattice? We focus on the infinity norm and work with…

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…

After giving a short introduction on smooth lattice polytopes, I will present a proof for the finiteness of smooth lattice polytopes with few lattice points. The argument is then turned into an algorithm for the classification of smooth…

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…

A well known result by Lagarias and Ziegler states that there are finitely many equivalence classes of d-dimensional lattice polytopes having volume at most K, for fixed constants d and K. We describe an algorithm for the complete…

Using classical density functional theory, we study the behavior of dimers, i.e. hard rods of length $L=2$, on a two-dimensional cubic lattice. For deriving a free energy functional, we employ Levy's prescription which is based on the…
