lattice points Definition and 16 Threads

or Are all naturally occurring crystals with periodic arrangement of lattices Bravais lattices? From two days, I have been trying to understand Bravais lattices and what it's importance is and after a lot of research, I came to know that they are a periodic arrangement of lattice points with...

Hello, I am wondering if in an n-ball the number of lattice points is finite. First, we have a ball which is bounded by the radius. The distance between two lattice points is given by the successive minimum. Theoretically, one could now draw a ball* around each lattice point in the (big)...

I assumed three points for a triangle P1 = (a, c), P2 = (c, d), P3 = (b, e) and of course: a, b, c, d, e∈Z Using the distance formula between each of the points and setting them equal: \sqrt { (b - a)^2 + (e - d)^2 } = \sqrt { (c - a)^2 + (d - d)^2 } = \sqrt { (b - c)^2 + (e - d)^2 }(e+d)2 =...

In picture, there is crystal structure with two atoms. Question is, what is the lattice points? Find a set of lattice points. I think green and pink points are both lattice points. Am i right? This is our full hw.

From Courant's Differential and Integral Calculus p.13, In an ordinary system of rectangular co-ordinates, the points for which both co-ordinates are integers are called lattice points. Prove that a triangle whose vertices are lattice points cannot be equilateral. Proof: Let ##A=(0,0)...

Hi! I'm struggling in identifying the lattice points and atom basis. As I understand in a cube, there are 8 lattice points, on on each corner of a cube. But in 2d it is any square between 4 points which are the lattice points. Is this correct? So if the points on the corners are the lattice...

Hello, Suppose I have a primitive cubic cell with 8 atoms, one on each corner of the cube. I don't understand how this consists of only one lattice point? Doesn't each corner have a lattice point, thus the cell would consist of 8 lattice points??

Given a circle centered at the origin, how can one prove that the limit of the quotient of the number of lattice points on the circle over the radius goes to zero as radius goes to infinity?

Is there a nice closed-form for this?

Does any circle having irrational radius have no lattice points on its boundary ? Extended question: Is there any way to determine the number of lattice points lying on the boundary of a given circle ? *The centres of these circles are all (0,0) *

I consider an array of lattice points and construct a vector at each lattice points. How to convert this discrete system into a continuum one by using the Taylor series expansion by considering the lattice distance say \lambda? thanks in well advance?

What exactly is a lattice point (in relation to geometry)? I seriously doubt my simple minded explanation suffices... A lattice point is the meeting of the y and x integers on the Cartesian plane. And if that's in essence correct, is the way to find the number of lattice points found by...

In a math contest, the question goes somehow like this: A lattice point is a point wherein the value of (x,y) is an integer. Determine the total number of lattice points in a circle which has a radius of 6 and the its center is at the origin. Any one knows the solution or shortcut for this?

Let R be a convex region symmetrical about the origin with area greater than 4. Show that R must contain a lattice point different from the origin. This is the 2-D case of Minkowski's theorem, right ? How about the n-dimensional version ? The n-dimensional version is : Given a convex...

Let P be a polygon whose vertices are lattice points. The area of P is Z + \frac{1}{2}B - 1 . Z is the number of lattice points inside the polygon, and B is the number on the boundary. (a) Prove that the forumula is valid for rectangles with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. (b)...

Hello all In a ordinary syatem of rectangular coordinates, the points for which both coordinates are integers are called lattice points . Prove that a triangle whose vertices are lattice points cannot be equilateral. Ok so I know that in a equilateral triangle the angle measures are...
