Coverage of a square lattice by an inclined rectangle
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
By use of a method of dissection, a formula is derived for the variance in the number of lattice points covered by a rectangle of arbitrary size, lying on a square lattice of unit spacing and inclined to the lattice at an angle of which the tangent is a rational fraction.
