## Residue formulae, vector partition functions and lattice points in rational polytopes.(English)Zbl 0926.52016

The authors develop residue formulae for a class of functions of several variables and apply these to various problems. In particular they obtain closed formulae for vector partition functions and for their continuous analogs. These imply an Euler-MacLaurin summation formula for vector partition functions and also for rational convex polytopes.
So the authors express the sum of values of a polynomial function at all lattice points of a rational convex polytope in terms of the variation of the integral of the function over the deformed polytope.
