Two Problems Concerning the Area-perimeter Ratio of Lattice-point-free Regions in the Plane Uwe Schnell and Salvador Segura Gomis Abstract We give a generalization of Bender's area-perimeter relation for plane lattice-point-free convex regions to simply connected regions, thus we solve a problem posed by M.~Silver [10]. Further the result is used for a lattice version of the Dido problem. MSC 1991: 52C05, 11H06
