A polygon is an elementary (self-avoiding) cycle in the hypercubic lattice Z d taking at least one step in every dimension. A polygon on Z d is said to be convex if its length is exactly twice the sum of the side lengths of the smallest hypercube containing it. The number of d-dimensional convex pol

Given a set S of n disjoint convex polygons {P i | 1 i n} in a plane, each with k i vertices, the transversal problem is to find, if there exists one, a straight line that goes through every polygon in S. We show that the transversal problem can be solved in O(N + n log n) time, where N = n i=1 k i
Examples are given of n vertex convex polygons for which the distances between a fixed vertex and the remaining vertices, visited in order, form a multi-modal function. We show that this function may have as many as n/2 modes, or local maxima. Further examples are given of n vertex convex polygons i
