Betke–Henk–Wills–Malikiosis discrete analogue of Minkowski's second theorem
Let be a convex body, let be a lattice, and let be the successive minima of with respect to , defined by
Betke–Henk–Wills–Malikiosis conjecture. One has
This is the discrete analogue of Minkowski's second theorem, replacing the volume of a convex body by the number of lattice points it contains. Betke, Henk and Wills originally conjectured the inequality for origin-symmetric convex bodies, while Malikiosis conjectured that it remains valid without the symmetry assumption; the stated general version is open.
