Let's call a polygon $P$ *shrinkable* if any down-scaled (dilated) version of $P$ can be translated into $P$. For example, the following triangle is shrinkable (the original polygon is green, the dilated polygon is blue): ![enter image description here][1] But the following U-shape is not shrinkable (the blue polygon cannot be translated into the green one): ![enter image description here][2] What is the largest group of shrinkable polygons? Currently I have the following sufficient condition: if $P$ is [star-shaped][3] then it is shrinkable. *Proof*: By definition of a star-shaped polygon, there is a point $A\in P$ such that for all other points $B\in P$, the segment $AB$ is entirely contained in $P$. Translate the dilated polygon $P'$ such that $A'$ coincides with $A$ (its counterpart in $P$). Now every point $B' \in P'$ is on the segment $AB$, hence it is in $P$: ![enter image description here][4] My questions are: A. Is the condition of being star-shaped also necessary for shrinkability? B. Alternatively, what other condition on $P$ is necessary?
