On a Hadwiger-Wills inequality concerning lattice points (Q1591724)

For the lattice point enumerator \(G(P)\) of a lattice polygon \(P\) and its translate \(P+t\), where \(t\) is not a lattice point, one has the inequality \(G(P)-G(P+t)\geq\chi(P)\), where \(\chi\) denotes the Euler characteristic. This inequality is tight and was proved by H. Hadwiger and J. M. Wills in 1975. The author shows that this inequality can be generalized to planar and appropriate nonplanar lattice polygons in \(N\)-space \(\mathbb{R}^N\). He further shows that on the other hand the inequality can not be generalized to lattice polyhedra.
