Abstract
Let be a set of points on the plane in general position. We say that a set of convex polygons with vertices in is a convex decomposition of if: Union of all elements in is the convex hull of every element in is empty, and for any two different elements of their interiors are disjoint. A minimal convex decomposition of is a convex decomposition such that for any two adjacent elements in its union is a non convex polygon. It is known that always has a minimal convex decomposition with at most elements. Here we prove that always has a minimal convex decomposition with at most elements.
