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? More generally, a compact $\ P\subseteq \mathbb R^n\ $ is called *shrinkable* $\ \Leftarrow:\Rightarrow\ $ $$\forall_{\mu\in [0;1)}\ \exists_{q\in \mathbb R^n}\quad \mu\!\cdot\! P\, +\, q\ \subseteq\ P$$ Currently I have the following shrinkable property sufficient condition: if $P$ is [star-shaped][3] then it is shrinkable. *Proof*: By definition (just for the star vertex $\ A\in P,\ $ let $\ q := (1-\mu)\cdot A$) : ![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?
