Lattice Point


A lattice point of a point lattice Lambda is a point belonging to Lambda. If Lambda=Z^n is the standard integer lattice, its lattice points are precisely the points (x_1,...,x_n) whose coordinates x_i are all integers. Thus the definition does not depend on grid lines drawn through the points, and it applies equally in dimensions greater than two.
