Lattice Cubes
Parris, Richard
College Mathematics Journal, v42 n2 p118-125 Mar 2011
Given a segment that joins two lattice points in R[superscript 3], when is it possible to form a lattice cube that uses this segment as one of its twelve edges? A necessary and sufficient condition is that the length of the segment be an integer. This paper presents an algorithm for finding such a cube when the prime factors of the length are known, and shows that the cube is essentially unique if the given segment does not contain another lattice point.
