Among integral polytopes (vertices with integral coordinates), lattice-free polytopes - intersecting the lattice ONLY at their vertices- are of particular interestin combinatorics and geometry of numbers. A natural question is to measure…
We characterize the polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (not necessarily convex or connected ones) which multi-tile the space by translations along a given lattice. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for two polytopes in…
For a complex polynomial $P$ of degree $n$ and an $m$-tuple of distinct complex numbers $\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_m)$, the dope matrix $D_P(\Lambda)$ is defined as the $m \times (n+1)$ matrix $(c)_{ij}$ with $c_{ij} =1$ if…
The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polygon P is completely determined by the pair (b(P),i(P)) where b(P) equals the number of lattice points on the boundary and i(P) equals the number of interior lattice points. All possible pairs…
{\it .}We completely characterize pairs of lattice points $P_1\neq P_2$ in the plane with the property that there are infinitely many lattice points $Q$ whose distance from both $P_1$ and $P_2$ is integral. In particular we show that it…
Properties of several sorts of lattices of convex subsets of R^n are examined. The lattice of convex sets containing the origin turns out, for n>1, to satisfy a set of identities strictly between those of the lattice of all convex subsets…
For a family of polytopes of even dimension $2p$, known as \textit{dual-neighborly}, it has been shown for $p\ne 2$ that the associated intersection of quadrics is a connected sum of sphere products $S^p\times S^p$. In this article we give…
Rudin conjectured that there are never more than c N^(1/2) squares in an arithmetic progression of length N. Motivated by this surprisingly difficult problem we formulate more than twenty conjectures in harmonic analysis, analytic number…
A complete set of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) forms a convex polytope in the N^2-1 dimensional space of NxN Hermitian matrices of unit trace. As a geometrical object such a polytope exists for all values of N, while it is unknown…
We study the set of square-free parts of volume polynomials associated with four planar lattice polytopes. This is motivated by the problem of describing possible pairwise intersection numbers of four curves in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ with…
For a lattice polytope P, define A_P(t) as the sum of the solid angles of all the integer points in the dilate tP. Ehrhart and Macdonald proved that A_P(t) is a polynomial in the positive integer variable t. We study the numerator…
We study the convex polytope of n x n stochastic matrices that define locally differentially private mechanisms. We first present invariance properties of the polytope and results reducing the number of constraints needed to define it. Our…
We study the congruence lattices of the multinomial lattices L(v) introduced by Bennett and Birkhoff. Our main motivation is to investigate Parikh equivalence relations that model concurrent computation. We accomplish this goal by providing…
We give a deterministic polynomial space construction for nearly optimal eps-nets with respect to any input n-dimensional convex body K and norm |.|. More precisely, our algorithm can build and iterate over an eps-net of K with respect to…
Lattice polytope representation of natural numbers is introduced based on the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The combinatorial and geometric properties of the polytopes are studied using Polymake and Qhull software. The volume of the…
Reflexive polytopes form one of the distinguished classes of lattice polytopes. Especially reflexive polytopes which possess the integer decomposition property are of interest. In the present paper, by virtue of the algebraic technique on…
The monotone path polytope of a polytope $P$ encapsulates the combinatorial behavior of the shadow vertex rule (a pivot rule used in linear programming) on $P$. Computing monotone path polytopes is the entry door to the larger subject of…
The lattice size $\operatorname{ls_\Delta}(P)$ of a lattice polytope $P$ is a geometric invariant, which was formally introduced in relation to the problem of bounding the total degree and the bi-degree of the defining equation of an…
In this paper we study the subset sum problem with real numbers. Starting from the given problem, we formulate a quadratic maximization problem over a polytope, P, which is eventually written as a distance maximization to a fixed point over…
Let $X$ be a list of vectors that is totally unimodular. In a previous article the author proved that every real-valued function on the set of interior lattice points of the zonotope defined by $X$ can be extended to a function on the whole…
