[#R1295] Current checked status and unresolved remainder

claim. UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-27. The MathOverflow page has zero answers. Poonen and Rubinstein establish the n^4/24 leading term for regular polygons, while the checked searches found no proof that arbitrary convex polygons cannot create asymptotically more concurrence.

1Summary

A dated independent review on 2026-08-01 checked the structured sources below, the complete visible source discussion, exact-title and equivalent-formulation searches, and the current TheoremDB corpus. On 2026-07-27 the Stack Exchange API reported zero answers, no accepted answer, and no closure for question 212361; comments provide small values and candidate point sets only. Poonen and Rubinstein, SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics 11 (1998), compute regular-polygon intersections and give n^4/24+O(n^3), which supplies the current upper construction for f(n). OEIS A230281 records the least known values only for small n. Exact-title and asymptotic searches did not locate a later matching lower bound. A TheoremDB search for convex polygon diagonal concurrency, distinct interior intersections, and the n^4/24 asymptotic found no duplicate.

A complete resolution must satisfy: Prove that f(n)/(n^4) tends to 1/24, or disprove the assertion by giving a different asymptotic bound separated from 1/24. A disproof by constructions must specify convex coordinates and prove the claimed count or asymptotic count of distinct concurrence points; a proof must control arbitrary multiple concurrences.
