Abstract
Let X denote an s x n integer matrix with columns x 1 ,…,xn Î ZS \ {0}. (Sometimes we will also denote the set of vectors {x1,…,xn} by X too.) We will assume throughout the following discussion that (1.1)
where [ A ] will mean the convex hull of the set A. The main object of our study is the function
where a E Zs and I A I denotes the cardinality of the set A.This function which we have referred to earlier as the “discrete truncated power”, [DM1], counts the number of nonnegative integer solutions a = (019 ...,pn) to the linear diophantine equations
whose coefficient matrix is X.
