Description:
We extend some theorems from the context of solid-angle sums over rational polytopes to the context of solid-angle sums over real polytopes. Moreover, we also consider any real dilation parameter, as opposed to the traditional integer dilation parameters. One of the main results is an extension of Macdonald's solid-angle quasi-polynomial for rational polytopes to a real analytic function of the dilation parameter, for any real convex polytope. Consequently, we find an extension of Macdonald's reciprocity law for real dilation parameters, over real polytopes.
