We give an upper bound on the volume vol(P*) of a polytope P* dual to a d-dimensional lattice polytope P with exactly one interior lattice point, in each dimension d. This bound, expressed in terms of the Sylvester sequence, is sharp, and…

A polynomial representation of a convex d-polytope P is a finite set \{p_1(x),...,p_n(x)\} of polynomials over E^d such that P=\setcond{x \in \E^d}{p_1(x) \ge 0 {for every} 1 \le i \le n}. By s(d,P) we denote the least possible number of…

The combinatorial diameter of a polytope $P$ is the maximum value of a shortest path between two vertices of $P$, where the path uses the edges of $P$ only. In contrast to the combinatorial diameter, the circuit diameter of $P$ is defined…

We derive lower estimates for the approximation of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball by polytopes with a fixed number of $k$-dimensional faces, $k\in\{0,1,\ldots,d-1\}$. The metrics considered include the intrinsic volume difference and…

We provide two algorithms for computing the volume of a convex polytope with half-space representation {x>=0; Ax <=b} for some (m,n) matrix A and some m-vector b. Both algorithms have a O(n^m) computational complexity which makes them…

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 $d$ be a nonnegative integer, and let $P \subset \mathbb R^d$ be a $d$-dimensional convex lattice polytope. In this article, we prove that the ratio of the volume of a normal-sized miniature of $P$ to that of $P$ is $1:\binom{2d+1}{d},$…

A complete classification of the $\delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes whose normalized volumes are at most $4$ is known. In the present paper, we will classify all the $\delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes with normalized volumes $5$.

In 1997 Oda conjectured that every smooth lattice polytope has the integer decomposition property. We prove Oda's conjecture for centrally symmetric $3$-dimensional polytopes, by showing they are covered by lattice parallelepipeds and…

The h^*-polynomial of a lattice polytope is the numerator of the generating function of the Ehrhart polynomial. Let P be a lattice polytope with h^*-polynomial of degree d and with linear coefficient h^*_1. We show that P has to be a…

The transversal ratio of a polytope $P$ is the minimum proportion of vertices of $P$ required to intersect each facet of $P$. The weak chromatic number of $P$ is the minimum number of colors required to color the vertices of $P$ so that no…

In the frame of a classification of general square systems of polynomial equations solvable by radicals, Esterov and Gusev succeeded in classifying all spanning lattice polytopes whose normalized volumes are at most $4$. In the present…

By studying the volume of a generalized difference body, this paper presents the first nontrivial lower bound for the lattice covering density by $n$-dimensional simplices.

The Flatness theorem states that the maximum lattice width ${\rm Flt}(d)$ of a $d$-dimensional lattice-free convex set is finite. It is the key ingredient for Lenstra's algorithm for integer programming in fixed dimension, and much work has…

We present explicit constructions of centrally symmetric polytopes with many faces: first, we construct a d-dimensional centrally symmetric polytope P with about (1.316)^d vertices such that every pair of non-antipodal vertices of P spans…

We work with the following expression for the entropy (density) of a dimer gas on an infinite r-regular lattice lambda(p) = 1/2 [ pln(r)-ln(p)-2(1-p)ln(1-p)-p ]+sum_{k=2}(d_k)(p^k) where the indicated sum converges for density, p, small…

In 1992, Kalai and Kleitman proved that the diameter of a $d$-dimensional polyhedron with $n$ facets is at most $n^{2+\log_2 d}$. In 2014, Todd improved the Kalai-Kleitman bound to $(n-d)^{\log_2 d}$. We improve the Todd bound to…

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…

A lattice Delaunay polytope P is called perfect if its Delaunay sphere is the only ellipsoid circumscribed about P. We present a new algorithm for finding perfect Delaunay polytopes. Our method overcomes the major shortcomings of the…

We show that the maximum number of unit distances or of diameters in a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is attained only by specific types of Lenz constructions, for all d >= 4 and n sufficiently large, depending on d. As a…
