Abstract: We call the $delta$-vector of an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ flat if the $delta$-vector is of the form $(1,0,ldots,0,a,ldots,a,0,ldots,0)$, where $ageq1$. In this paper, we give the complete characterization of possible flat $delta$-vectors. Moreover, for an integral convex polytope $mathcalPsubsetmathbb{R}^N$ of dimension $d$, we let $i(mathcalP,n)=|nmathcalPcapmathbb{Z}^N|$ and $i^{\ast }(mathcalP,n)=|n(mathcalPsetminuspartialmathcalP)capmathbb{Z}^N|.$ By this characterization, we show that for any $dgeq1$ and for any $k,ellgeq0$ with $k+ellleqd-1$, there exist integral convex polytopes $mathcalP$ and $mathcalQ$ of dimension $d$ such that (i) For $t=1,ldots,k$, we have $i(mathcalP,t)=i(mathcalQ,t),$ (ii) For $t=1,ldots,ell$, we have $i^{\ast }(mathcalP,t)=i^{\ast }(mathcalQ,t)$ and (iii) $i(mathcalP,k+1)eqi(mathcalQ,k+1)$ and $i^{\ast }(mathcalP,ell+1)eq{i}^{\ast }(mathcalQ,ell+1).$
