Some results on Ehrhart polynomials of convex polytopes (Q920404)

In this short communication the author states some recent results concerning the \(\delta\)-vectors of d-dimensional integral convex polytopes. He gives a linear inequality for the components of the \(\delta\)-vector, and he characterizes the case that the \(\delta\)-vector is symmetric. For special polytopes he explicitly computes the Ehrhart polynomials. The proofs will be published in forthcoming papers.
