Partitioning a polygon into convex parts
I'm looking for an algorithm to partition any simple closed polygon into convex sub-polygons--preferably as few as possible.
I know almost nothing about this subject, so I've been searching on Google ...

Given a set of 2D vertices, how to create a minimum-area polygon which contains all the given vertices?
Not sure whether this question belongs here or math.stackexchange.
You can assume that all the vertices are unique. The given vertices can be the vertices of the polygon, thus they do NOT have to be ...

Angle subtended by the shortest segment that bisects the area of a convex polygon
Let $C$ be a convex polygon in the plane and let $s$ be the shortest line segment (I believe this is called a "chord") that divides the area of $C$ in half. What is the smallest angle that $s$ could ...

Construct polygon/polyhedron containing all points not externally visible w.r.t given polygon/polyhedron?
Is there an algorithm to construct a polyhedron containing all points in space for which there exists no ray to infinite not intersecting a given polyhedron?
In 2D, we could consider polygons. For ...

Calculating the "Belvedere Hull" of a Simple Planar Polygon
As an informal motivation the problem, imagine a tower with polygonal footprint, that is located in a beautiful landscape, the "Belvedere Hull" is then related to the directions, in which one would ...
