Quadrisection bound for convex odd-gons

Let RR be a convex polygon with 2n+12n+1 sides. A quadrisection is a partition of RR into four regions of equal area by three concurrent cevians. Quadrisection bound conjecture. The polygon RR has at most 2n+12n+1 quadrisections. Further, if RR is sufficiently close to the regular 2n+12n+1-gon, then RR has 2n+12n+1 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.
