Title: Polygon Problem
Abstract:
Given a simple polygon M with n+3 edges such that any three of its vertices are not collinear. Let M_d (resp. M_e) be the set of diagonals (resp. epigonals), i.e., chords which lie entirely in the interior (resp. exterior) of P. For 0 \le i \le n, let d_i (resp. e_i) be the number of i-subset of M_d (resp. M_e) whose elements are pairwise disjoint chords. We'll prove that if M is convex, then \sum (-1)^i d_i = (-1)^n; otherwise \sum (-1)^i d_i = \sum (-1)^i e_i =0.
