Abstract: In this paper, we investigate two properties concerning the unimodality of the $delta$-vectors of lattice polytopes, which are log-concavity and alternatingly increasingness. For lattice polytopes $mathcalP$ of dimension $d$, we prove that the dilated lattice polytopes $nmathcalP$ have strictly log-concave and strictly alternatingly increasing $delta$-vectors if $n>maxs,d+1-s$, where $s$ is the degree of the $delta$-polynomial of $mathcalP$. The bound $maxs,d+1-s$ for $n$ is reasonable. We also provide several kinds of unimodal (or non-unimodal) $delta$-vectors. Concretely, we give examples of lattice polytoeps whose $delta$-vectors are not unimodal, unimodal but neither log-concave nor alternatingly increasing, alternatingly increasing but not log-concave, and log-concave but not alternatingly increasing, respectively.
