The Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity law gives an intimate relation between these two counting functions. A similar counting function and reciprocity law exists for the sum of all solid angles at integer points in dilates of P. We derive a unifying generalization of these reciprocity theorems which follows in a natural way from Brion's Theorem on conic decompositions of polytopes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-04-11T21:39:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "52C07", "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "integer points", "counting function", "ehrhart-macdonald reciprocity law", "brions theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......4230B" } } }
