Let \(I\) be a monomial ideal. The authors define the irreducible polyhedron of \(I\), denoted \(IP(I)\), by the intersection of the Newton polyhedra of the monomial \emph{irreducible} components of the ideal. Letting \(NP(I)\) denote the Newton polyhedron of \(I\) and \(SP(I)\) the symbolic polyhedron of \(I\) -- see Definition 5.3 in [\textit{S. M. Cooper} et al., Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 60, No. 1, 39--55 (2017; Zbl 1376.13010)], they show that \[ NP(I) \subseteq SP(I) \subseteq IP(I) \] (Theorem 3.9). If \(\mathcal{I}=\{I_m\}_{m\geq 1}\) is a graded family of monomial ideals, the authors define the limiting body of \(\mathcal{I}\) by \[ \mathcal{C}(\mathcal{I}) = \bigcup_{m\to \infty} \frac{1}{m} NP(I_m). \] When \(\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{I})\) is a polyhedron, they term it the asymptotic Newton polyhedron of \(\mathcal{I}\). If \(I_m\) is the intersection \(m\)-th powers of the components of a decomposition of \(I\) into (an intersection of) monomial ideals, they show that \(\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{I})\) is the intersection of the Newton polyhedra of the components (Theorem 3.5). As corollaries, they show that the symbolic polyhedron of \(I\) is the asymptotic polyhedron of the family of symbolic powers of \(I\), \(\{I^{(m)}\}_{m\geq 1}\), and the irreducible polyhedron of \(I\) is the asymptotic Newton polyhedron of the graded family of irreducible powers, \(\{ I ^{\{m\}}\}_{m\geq 1}\), which the authors define as the intersection of the \(m\)-th powers of the monomial irreducible components of \(I\), for each \(m\geq 1\) (Corollaries 3.16, 3.17 and Definition 3.3, respectively). In section 4 the authors define the \textit{naive Waldschmidt constant} of \(I\) by \[ \tilde{\alpha}(I) = \lim_{m\to \infty} \frac{\alpha(I^{\{m\}})}{m}, \] where \(\alpha(\cdot)\) denotes the initial degree. Adapting the proof of Theorem 5.3 in [\textit{C. Bocci} et al., J. Algebr. Comb. 44, No. 4, 875--904 (2016; Zbl 1352.13012)], the authors show that \[ \tilde{\alpha}(I)\geq \frac{\alpha(I)}{\operatorname{big-height}(I)}, \] (Theorem 4.13). Let \(\mathfrak{m}_n \subset K[x_1,\dots,x_n]\) denote the irrelevant ideal. The authors compute the naive Waldschmidt constant of \(\mathfrak{m}_n^d\), for \(d\geq 1\) (Theorem 4.22), and show that, when \(d=\alpha(I)\), this constant is a lower bound for \(\tilde{\alpha}(I)\) (Theorems 4.25 and 4.29).
