On sequences of projections of the cubic lattice (Q2392969)

The paper is concerned with approximating a given full rank lattice \(\Lambda\subset {\mathbb R}^n\) by a sequence of the orthogonal projections of \({\mathbb Z}^{n+1}\) onto a rational hyperplane. This question was considered in the work [\textit{N. J. A. Sloane} et al., Discrete Comput. Geom. 46, No. 3, 472--478 (2011; Zbl 1237.11031)]. Related results appear, for example, in [\textit{A. Schinzel}, Monatsh. Math. 137, No. 3, 239--251 (2002; Zbl 1116.11304)] and [\textit{I. Aliev} et al., Monatsh. Math. 144, No. 3, 177--191 (2005; Zbl 1117.11036)]. The authors of the paper under review, among other results, give a sufficient condition for, given \(\Lambda\subset {\mathbb R}^n\), obtaining a sequence of projected lattices converging to \(\Lambda\) with order \(O(\|{\mathbf v}\|^{-2/n})\). Here \({\mathbf v}\) runs through the vectors orthogonal to the rational hyperplanes in question. The paper is nicely written and contains a number of illustrative examples.
