Maximum-Area Quadrilateral in a Convex Polygon, Revisited

Vahideh Keikha, Maarten Löffler, Ali Mohades, Jérôme Urhausen, Ivor van der Hoog

In this note we show by example that the algorithm presented in 1979 by Dobkin and Snyder for finding the largest-area k-gon that is inscribed in a convex polygon fails to find the optimal solution for k=4. This question, posed by Keikha et al. where they showed that the Dobkin Snyder algorithm fails for k=3.
