摘要: A classical theorem of Lagrange, known as the sum of four squares,

states that every positive integer can be written as the sum of four

squares. The theme of this lecture is various generalizations of

Lagrange's sum of four squares.

In the first, we introduce two classical generalizations of sum of four

squares, namely Cauchy's polygonal number theorem and Waring's problem.

Next we introduce `polytope numbers' which, on one hand, can be viewed

as a higher dimensional generalization of Cauchy's polygonal numbers,

and on the other hand, can be viewed as horizontal generalization of

$k^{th}$ power in Waring's problem.

Finally we discuss basic properties of polytope numbers and our recent

results on asymptotic order of the set of polytope numbers of a convex

polytope.
