چکیده

In 1921 Blichfeldt gave an upper bound on the number of integral points contained in a convex body in terms of the volume of the body. More precisely, he showed that #(K∩Z) ≤ n! vol(K)+n, whenever K ⊂ R is a convex body containing n+1 affinely independent integral points. Here we prove an analogous inequality with respect to the surface area F(K), namely #(K ∩ Z) < vol(K) + ((√n + 1)/2) (n − 1)! F(K). The proof is based on a slight improvement of Blichfeldt’s bound in the case when K is a non-lattice translate of a lattice polytope, i.e., K = t+P , where t ∈ R \Z and P is an n-dimensional polytope with integral vertices. Then we have #((t + P ) ∩ Z) ≤ n! vol(P ). Moreover, in the 3-dimensional case we prove a stronger inequality, namely #(K ∩ Z) < vol(K) + 2F(K).

Blichfeldt-type Inequalities and Central Symmetry

A classical result of Blichfeldt, from 1921, gives a sharp lower bound on the volume of a convex body K, whose lattice points span the whole space, in terms of the lattice point enumerator #(K∩Z). We are interested in a version of this inequality on the set of 0-symmetric convex bodies. Our motivation to study this problem comes from a lack of methods that exploit the symmetry assumption in pro...

Results of the Chebyshev type inequality for Pseudo-integral

In this paper, some results of the Chebyshev type integral inequality for the pseudo-integral are proven. The obtained results, are related to the measure of a level set of the maximum and the sum of two non-negative integrable functions. Finally, we applied our results  to the case of comonotone functions.

On a New Reverse Hilbert\'s Type Inequality

In this paper, by using the Euler-Maclaurin expansion for the Riemann-$zeta$ function, we establish an inequality of a weight coefficient. Using this inequality, we derive a new reverse Hilbert's type inequality. As an applications, an equivalent form is obtained.

A more accurate half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality with the best possible constant factor related to the extended Riemann-Zeta function

By the method of weight coefficients, techniques of real analysis and Hermite-Hadamard's inequality, a half-discrete Hardy-Hilbert-type inequality related to the kernel of the hyperbolic cosecant function with the best possible constant factor expressed in terms of the extended Riemann-zeta function is proved. The more accurate equivalent forms, the operator expressions with the norm, the rever...
