A Note on Counting Lattice Points in Bounded Domains

Publication date: 5 December 2018

Abstract:

k

-tuple zeta functions localize prime-power

k

-tuples in the pair-wise coprime

k

-lattices

m a t h f r a k N_{k}

. As such, the set of all

m a t h f r a k N_{k}

along with their associated zeta functions encode the natural numbers

m a t h b b N

, and so

m a t h b b Z_{g e q 0}

can be represented by projection from the

m a t h f r a k N_{k}

onto

m a t h b b R_{+}

. Accordingly, counting points of

m a t h b b Z_{g e q 0}

can be implemented in

m a t h f r a k N_{k}

. Exploiting this observation, we derive explicit formulae for counting prime-power

k

-tuples and use them to count lattice points in well-behaved bounded regions in

m a t h b b R^{2}

. In particular, we count the lattice points contained in the circle

S^{1}

. The counting readily extends to well-behaved bounded regions in

m a t h b b R^{n}

.
