The free sum is a basic geometric operation among convex polytopes. This note focuses on the relationship between the normalized volume of the free sum and that of the summands. In particular, we show that the normalized volume of the free…

We study the problem of approximating the mixed volume $V(P_1^{(\alpha_1)}, \dots, P_k^{(\alpha_k)})$ of an $k$-tuple of convex polytopes $(P_1, \dots, P_k)$, each of which is defined as the convex hull of at most $m_0$ points in…

A theorem of Scott gives an upper bound for the normalized volume of lattice polygons with exactly $i>0$ interior lattice points. We will show that the same bound is true for the normalized volume of lattice polytopes of degree 2 even in…

This note is a comment to the paper by D.R.Heath-Brown and B.Z.Moroz (Math Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 125 (1999)). That paper concerns with the projective surface $S$ in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ defined by the equation $x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=x_{4}^{3}$. It…

The Minkowski mixed volume of $n$ subpolytopes $D_1, \dots, D_n$ of a polytope $P \subset {\mathbb R}^n$ clearly does not exceed the normalized volume $n! \text{Vol}(P)$. Equality holds if and only if the subpolytopes are interlaced, i.e.,…
