Abstract |
|
A theorem of Bender states that if a convex figure F contains no point of the two dimensional lattice G, where G is generated by the vectors V 1 and V 2 having enclosed angle 𝜃, then A(F) ≦ 1∕2P(F)max(|V 1|,|V 2|sin𝜃) where |V 1|≦|V 2|. In this paper, two questions are answered: (1) Among all convex figures of perimeter L which are admissible relative to a rectangular lattice G, which encloses the maximum area? (2) Can the constant 1/2 in Bender’s theorem be improved? By using the result of (1), the “sharpest possible” inequality of the Bender type is found. |
