Quadrisection bound for convex odd-gons
Quadrisection bound for convex odd-gons
Let be a convex polygon with sides. A quadrisection is a partition of into four regions of equal area by three concurrent cevians. Quadrisection bound conjecture. The polygon has at most quadrisections. Further, if is sufficiently close to the regular -gon, then has quadrisections.
This conjecture extends the triangle quadrisection problem to convex polygons and predicts both a sharp upper bound for odd-gons and its attainment near the regular polygon. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
