In this note we classify all triples (a,b,i) such that there is a convex lattice polygon P with area a, and b respectively i lattice points on the boundary respectively in the interior. The crucial lemma for the classification is the…
This paper treats triangles in the plane whose vertices lie on the integer lattice, i.e., the vertices have integer coordinates. It shows that apart from trivial examples, the circumcenter, centroid and orthocenter of such triangles never…
We discuss coloring and partitioning questions related to Sperner's Lemma, originally motivated by an application in hardness of approximation. Informally, we call a partitioning of the $(k-1)$-dimensional simplex into $k$ parts, or a…
We consider lattices of regular sets of non negative integers, i.e. of sets definable in Presbuger arithmetic. We prove that if such a lattice is closed under decrement then it is also closed under many other functions: quotients by an…
Counting integer points in large convex bodies with smooth boundaries containing isolated flat points is oftentimes an intermediate case between balls (or convex bodies with smooth boundaries having everywhere positive curvature) and cubes…
We classify, according to their computational complexity, integer optimization problems whose constraints and objective functions are polynomials with integer coefficients and the number of variables is fixed. For the optimization of an…
We study the geometry of convex lattice $n$-gons with $n$ boundary lattice points and $k\geq 3$ collinear interior lattice points. We describe a process to construct a primitive lattice triangle from an edge of a convex lattice $n$-gon,…
Let $S$ be a finite set of points in the plane that are in convex position. We present an algorithm that constructs a plane $\frac{3+4\pi}{3}$-spanner of $S$ whose vertex degree is at most 3. Let $\Lambda$ be the vertex set of a finite…
Sperner's lemma states that every Sperner coloring of a triangulation of a simplex contains a fully colored simplex. We present a generalization of this lemma, where instead of triangulations are considered quadrangulations.
A lattice of integers is the collection of all linear combinations of a set of vectors for which all entries of the vectors are integers and all coefficients in the linear combinations are also integers. Lattice reduction refers to the…
This paper deals with the history of the following problem: "Can an arbitrary rectangle be dissected into 3 non-rectangular congruent regions?" We present a new elementary proof that the answer is indeed no.
Motivated by Elementary Problem B-1172 in the Fibonacci Quarterly (vol. 53, no. 3, pg. 273), formulas for the areas of triangles and other polygons having vertices with coordinates taken from various sequences of integers are obtained. The…
An important problem in analytic and geometric combinatorics is estimating the number of lattice points in a compact convex set in a Euclidean space. Such estimates have numerous applications throughout mathematics. In this note, we exhibit…
Motivated by a question of R.\ Nandakumar, we show that the Euclidean plane can be dissected into mutually incongruent convex quadrangles of the same area and the same perimeter. As a byproduct we obtain vertex-to-vertex dissections of the…
We give some sufficient conditions of separation of two sets of integer points by a hyperplane. Our conditions are related to the notion of convexity of sets of integer points and are weaker than existing notions.
This paper is dedicated to a lattice analog to the classical ``sum of interior angles of a polygon theorem''. In 2008, the first formula expressing conditions on the geometric continued fractions for lattice angles of triangles was derived,…
Two polygons are amicable if the perimeter of one is equal to the area of the other and vice versa. A polygon is a lattice polygon if its vertices are on the integer lattice $\Z^2$. We show that there is one pair of amicable lattice…
