We establish sharp asymptotic estimates for the diameter of primitive zonotopes when their dimension is fixed. We also prove that, for infinitely many integers k, the largest possible diameter of a lattice zonotope contained in the hypercube [0, k] d is uniquely achieved by a primitive zonotope. As a consequence, we obtain that this largest diameter grows like k d/(d+1) up to an explicit multiplicative constant, when d is fixed and k goes to infinity, providing a new lower bound on the largest possible diameter of a lattice polytope contained in [0, k] d .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
