Asymptotic Hilbert polynomial and a bound for Waldschmidt constants

Abstract

In the paper we give a method to compute an upper bound for the Waldschmidt constants of a wide class of ideals. This generalizes the result obtained by Dumnicki, Harbourne, Szemberg and Tutaj-Gasińska, Adv. Math. 2014, [5]. Our bound is given by a root of a suitable derivative of a certain polynomial associated with the asymptotic Hilbert polynomial.
