The exact value of the normalized kk-gon density at multiples of k1k-1

Let kk be a constant, let α\alpha satisfy αk1\alpha\leq k-1, and let Δk(n)\Delta_k'(n) denote the normalized extremal area parameter for convex kk-gons defined in the paper. The normalized kk-gon conjecture.

Δk(α(k1))=12(α1)\Delta_{k}'(\alpha(k-1))=\dfrac{1}{2(\alpha-1)}

for αk1\alpha\leq k-1. This would give exact values at the indicated arguments, whereas the paper's general results provide upper bounds of order (k2)/n(k-2)/n and do not establish this formula.
