Abstract

Oler's lattice-point theorem gives a sharp upper bound for the lattice-point enumerator GΛ of a certain class of lattices in the plane. We give a sharp lower bound for GΛ of the corresponding class of lattices in all dimensions. This result is closely related to the Blichfeldt-van der Corputgeneralization of Minkowski's fundamental lattice-point theorem.
