Software Package for Constructing Rank-1 Lattices

Lattice Builder supports two types of lattices: ordinary and embedded.
Their representation in Lattice Builder differs only by the type of their size parameter. The size of an ordinary lattice (of type SizeParam<LatType::ORDINARY>) is specified by a single integer: the number of points in the lattice \(n\). The size of an embedded lattice (of type SizeParam<LatType::EMBEDDED>) is specified by two integers: a prime base \(b\) and a maximum level \(m\), such that, for the embedded lattice at the maximum level, \(n = b^m\).
A lattice of either type can be defined by its size parameter(s) together with its dimension \(s\) and the components of its generating vector \(\boldsymbol a = (a_1, \dots, a_s)\). The class LatDef can be used for that purpose, as in tutorial/LatDef.cc. The following function calls some members of LatDef:
An ordinary lattice can be instantiated by passing the LatDef constructor a size parameter, here with \(n=31\), and a generating vector, here \(\boldsymbol a = (1,12,3)\):
This outputs:
ordinary lattice: dimension: 3 size parameter: 31 generating vector: [1, 12, 3] definition: lattice(31, [1, 12, 3])
Embedded lattices with \(n=b^\ell\) for \(\ell=0,\dots,m\) can be instantiated by passing the LatDef constructor a size parameter \((b,m)\), here \((b,m)=(2,5)\), and a generating vector, here \(\boldsymbol a = (1,7,9)\):
This outputs:
embedded lattice: dimension: 3 size parameter: 2^5 generating vector: [1, 7, 9] definition: lattice(2^5, [1, 7, 9])
Note that the size parameter for the embedded lattice:
could also have been instantiated directly with the number of points ( \(2^5=32\)):
