Constructive packings of cross polytopes

Abstract: The n‐dimensional cross polytope, |x|+|x2|+…+|xn≤1, can be lattice packed with density δ satisfying ln δ⩾−n/2+o(n) as n→∞, but proofs of this, such as the Minkowski‐Hlawka theorem, do not actually provide such packings. That is, they are nonconstructive. Here we exhibit lattice packings whose density satisfies only ln δ⩾−n ln ln n+O(n), but by a highly constructive method. These are the densest constructive lattice packings of cross polytopes obtained so far.

“…Kabatjanskȋ and Levenšteȋn [11] derived from (14) (15) M (n, ϕ) ≤ (sin(ϕ/2)) −n 2 −(0.599+o(1))n , which holds for ϕ ≤ 63 0 and is the best asymptotic upper bound on M (n, ϕ). We note that if one uses the Blichfeldt gauge f n that comes from (15), then Blichfeldt's theorem yields the Kabatjanskȋ-Levenšteȋn upper bound (1) on δ(B n ). Together with (13), this indicates that the Blichfeldt method may provide a better asymptotic upper bound on δ(X n ) than the insphere volume ratio combined with (1).…”
