Abstract

If P is a lattice polytope (that is, the convex hull of a finite set of lattice points in \({\mathbf{R}^n}\)), then every sum of h lattice points in P is a lattice point in the h-fold sumset hP. However, a lattice point in the h-fold sumset hP is not necessarily the sum of h lattice points in P. It is proved that if the polytope P is a union of unimodular simplices, then every lattice point in the h-fold sumset hP is the sum of h lattice points in P.
