Abstract

We provide an algorithm for the exact computation of the lattice width of an integral polygon K in linear-time with respect to the size of K. Moreover, we describe how this new algorithm can be extended to an arbitrary dimension thanks to a greedy approach avoiding complex geometric processings.
