Using these results, we prove the log-asymptotic correctness of bounds by Brändén, Leake, and Pak developed through the use of Lorentzian polynomials ([BLP23]) under certain conditions, and provide a counterexample where these bounds are not log- asymptotically correct, even when symmetry exists.enlattice pointscontingency tablespolynomial capacityenumerationasymptoticsgenerating functionsconvex optimizationAsymptotics of the number of lattice points in the transportation polytope via optimization on Lorentzian polynomials.Master Thesis
