Mukhopadhyaya theorem

In geometry Mukhopadhyaya's theorem may refer to one of several closely related theorems about the number of vertices of a curve due to Mukhopadhyaya (1909). One version, called the Four-vertex theorem, states that a simple convex curve in the plane has at least 4 vertices, and another version states that a simple convex curve in the affine plane has at least 6 affine vertices.
