On the maximal number of edges of convex digital polygons included into an \(m \times m\)-grid. (English) Zbl 0815.68112

Summary: Let \(e(m)\) denote the maximal number of edges of a convex digital polygon included into an \(m\times m\) square area of lattice points and let \(s(n)\) denote the minimal (side) size of a square in which a convex digital polygon with \(n\) edges can be included. We prove that \[ \begin{aligned} e(m) & ={12\over (4\pi^ 2)^{1/3}} m^{2/3}+ O(m^{1/3}\log m),\\ s(n) & = {2\pi\over 12^{3/2}} n^{3/2}+ O(n\log n).\end{aligned} \] {}.
