After a brief introduction to the theory of convex polytopes and its relation to solutions of linear homogeneous Diophantine equations, a theorem of Stanley, Bruggesser and Mani on the decomposition of the monoid of solutions is discussed in detail. An application of this theorem, due to Stanley, to prove a conjecture of Anand, Dumir and Gupta is explained UR - http://www.imsc.res.in/xmlui/handle/123456789/324 ER -
