Abstract

The following theorem has been proved by Bambah, Rogers and Zassenhaus [1], Theorem A. Let K be a closed convex domain with a centre. Let A0 A1,..., An = A0, An+1,....., An+m, be points such that: (i) the polygon A0 A1 ... An is a Jordan polygon bounding a closed domain π of area a(π ); (ii) for each r, 0 ≤ r ≤ n, there is a point common to K + An-1 and K + Ar; (iii) the points An+1, .... An+m are in the interior of π (iv) for each point X of π, there exists an Ar, 1 ≤ r ≤ n + m, such that X ∈ K + Ar and the line segment XAr is in π. Then α(π) ≤ (2m+n-2)t(k), where t(K) is the area of the largest triangle contained in K.
