AMS-IMS-SIAM Joint Summer Research Conference (2006: Snowbird, Utah Snowbird is a locale based in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains in Utah. It is perhaps most famous for the Snowbird ski resort, an alpine skiing and snowboarding area, which opened in December 1971. ) Ed. by Matthias Beck et al. American Mathematical Society The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, which it does with various publications and conferences as well as annual monetary awards to mathematicians. 2008 187 pages $59.00 Paperback Contemporary mathematics; v.452 QA174 Research and survey articles from a June 2006 conference highlight recent advances related to lattice-point questions. Some specific topics explored include lattice reformulation of integer programming Integer programming Variant of linear programming in which the solution values must be integers. problems, Ehrhart polynomial roots and Stanley's non-negativity theorem, enumeration 1. (mathematics) enumeration - A bijection with the natural numbers; a counted set. Compare well-ordered. 2. (programming) enumeration - enumerated type. of integer solutions to linear inequalities defined by digraphs, and perfect Delaunay polytopes and perfect quadratic functions on lattices. The book is suitable for researchers and graduate students interested in combinatorial aspects of commutative algebra, optimization, discrete geometry, statistics, mirror symmetry, and geometry of numbers In number theory, the geometry of numbers is a topic and method arising from the work of Hermann Minkowski, on the relationship between convex sets and lattices in n-dimensional space. .
