Ehrhart polynomial
In mathematics, integral polytopes have associated Ehrhart polynomials which encode relations between the volume of a polytope, number of integer points the polytope contains, and other related geometric quantities. The theory of Ehrhart polynomials can be seen as a higher dimensional generalization of Pick's theorem in the Euclidean plane.
