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 $...

Polar interpretation of convexity

Let $C$ be a convex polygon in the plane containing the origin, and let $r(\theta)$ for $\theta\in[0,2\pi)$ be a parametrization of its boundary. Is there a condition on $r$ that is equivalent to (or ...

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 ...
