Authored summary

Unresolved in this packet after the dated source check. Strongest checked result: 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. Exact unresolved remainder: 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.

The record cites sources for its explanation.
