 Diagonal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As applied to a polygon, a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices that are not adjacent.
When n is the number of vertices in a polygon and d is the number of possible different diagonals, each vertex has possible diagonals to all other vertices save for itself and the two adjacent vertices, or n-3 diagonals; this multiplied by the number of vertices is
In fact a polygon is convex if and only if the diagonals are internal.

Battlefield features could be given a descriptive name ("Polygon Wood" near Ypres or "Lone Pine"), a whimsical name ("Sausage Valley" and "Mash Valley" on the Somme), a unit name ("Inniskilling Inch" at Helles named for the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers) or the name of a soldier ("Monash Valley" at Anzac named after General John Monash).
Prefixing a feature with "Dead Man's" was also popular for obvious reasons, such as "Dead Man's Road" leading in to Pozières or "Dead Man's Ridge" at Anzac.

 Re-entrant polygon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A re-entrant, or concave polygon is one in which at least one interior angle is more than 180 degrees (i.e.
A polygon is re-entrant or concave if there exist two points within the polygon which cannot be connected by a straight line which lies within the polygon.
[5] All such polygons are concave, but not all polygons that have a boundary that "touches" itself (much less all concave polygons) have a boundary that intersects itself.

 Concavity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A concave polygon is often called re-entrant polygon (but in some cases the latter term has a different meaning).
In mathematical analysis, concavity is a property of certain geometric figures, and in calculus, a property of certain graphs of functions.
Similarly, a differentiable function f is concave on an interval if its derivative function f ′ is decreasing on that interval: a concave function has a decreasing slope.

 Convex polygon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A concave polygon is often called re-entrant polygon (but in some cases the latter term has a different meaning).
Every line segment between two vertices of the polygon does not go exterior to the polygon (i.e., it remains inside or on the boundary of the polygon).
In geometry, a convex polygon is a simple polygon whose interior is a convex set.

In mathematical analysis, concavity is a property of certain geometric figures, and in calculus, a property of certain graphs of functions.
If f(x) is twice-differentiable, then f(x) is concave iff f ′′(x) is non-positive.

 Diagonal
For a convex polygon the diagonals run inside the polygon - but not otherwise, for re-entrant polygons.
In the case of a square matrix, the main or principal diagonal is the diagonal line of entries running north-west to south-east.
