Lattice points in the boundary of a Minkowski sum of two convex lattice polygons
Let $P$ and $Q$ be two convex lattice polygons in $\mathbb{R}_+^2$ and let $P+Q$ be their Minkowski sum. Given a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, we let $L(S) =\#( S \bigcap \mathbb{Z}^2)$.
The equality $...

Elementary problem about triangles inside a convex polygon
Let P be a convex polygon with area A(P), and to each side of P, attach the largest area triangle possible that lies entirely within P. Must the sum S(P) of the areas of these triangles always satisfy ...
