Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1784-1807, June 2024. Abstract. For a locally finite set, [math], the [math]th Brillouin zone of [math] is the region of points [math] for which [math] is the [math]th smallest among the Euclidean distances between [math] and the points in [math]. If [math] is a lattice, the [math]th Brillouin zones of the points in [math] are translates of each other, and together they tile space. Depending on the value of [math], they express medium- or long-range order in the set. We study fundamental geometric and combinatorial properties of Brillouin zones, focusing on the integer lattice and its perturbations. Our results include the stability of a Brillouin zone under perturbations, a linear upper bound on the number of chambers in a zone for lattices in [math], and the convergence of the maximum volume of a chamber to zero for the integer lattice.
期刊介绍：
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
