Oler's lattice-point theorem gives a sharp upper bound for the lattice-point enumerator GΛ of a certain class of lattices in the plane. We give a sharp lower bound for GΛ of the corresponding class of lattices in all dimensions. This result is closely related to the Blichfeldt-van der Corputgeneralization of Minkowski's fundamental lattice-point theorem. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Since Minkowski [29] gave his famous lattice point theorem for centrally symmetric convex bodies, a theorem that turned out to be of fundamental importance in number theory, much effort has been made to obtain tight estimates for the number of lattice points of a given lattice in convex bodies in terms of the basic quermass-integrals Wo,…, Wd, whose eminent role shows in Hadwiger's functional theorem [14, 15, 16, see also 17, p. 221–225]. (For the discrete analogues of Wo,…, Wd see [2].) The present paper is concerned with an upper estimate of this kind. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Let be k non-overlapping translates of the unit d-ball Bd in euclidean d-space Ed. Let Ck denote the convex hull of their centres and let Sk be a segment of length 2(k– 1). Furthermore, let Vd denote the d-volume. L. Fejes Tóth conjectured in [1], that, for d ≥ 5, [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Let K be a convex body (compact convex set with interior points) in d-dimensional euclidean space Ed, let D(K) denote its diameter, Δ(K) its minimal width, andthe number of lattice points (points of Ed with integer coordinates) in the interior of K. If G0(K) = 0, we call K lattice-point-free; in what follows, K will always be a lattice-point-free convex body. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

§0. Einführung. Durch die bekannten Croftonschen Integrale können bekanntlich die Minkowskischen Quermaβintegrale konvexer Körper dargestellt werden. In der vorliegenden Note betrachten wir gewisse Erweiterungen dieser klassischen integralgeometrischen Formeln, durch die allgemeinere invariante Eikörperfunktionale gegeben sind. Es handelt sich hierbei um kinematische Integrale mit beweglichen unterdimensionalen Teilräumen, wobei passend gewahlte Funktionen ihrer Abstände vom Eikörper eingehen. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A. Bezdek and W. Kuperberg constructed a nonlattice packing of congruent ellipsoids in Euclidean 3-space E3 with density 0·7459 …, which exceeds the density σL2 = 0·74048… of the densest lattice packing of spheres and hence of ellipsoids in E3. G. Kuperberg improved this to 0·7533… We improve this slightly to 0·7549…. In our case the quotient of the largest and the smallest halfaxis of the ellipsoids is <42, so the ellipsoids are not too degenerate. If one combines G. Kuperberg's refinement and ours, one obtains a packing density of 0·7585… [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
