Sufficient conditions of the curvature of a curve for the curve to be convex

64 Views Asked by At

I have been reading about the 4 vertices theorem in differential geometry, I have a doubt, we know that the curvature of a convex curve fulfills the following:

$\kappa \ \text{is periodic}$

$\kappa \ \text{has at least 4 critical points}$

$\kappa\geq0$

$\int \kappa=2\pi$

The question I have is, are these curvature conditions sufficient for the curve to necessarily be convex? or is there a curve that serves to show that no, I would appreciate it if you could tell me. First of all, Thanks
