One establishes some convexity criteria for sets in R2. They will be applied in a further Note to treat the existence of solutions to minimum time problems for certain Lagrangian systems referred to two coordinates, one of which is used as a control. These problems regard the swing or the ski.

Si stabiliscono dei criteri di convessità per insiemi in R2. Essi verranno applicati in una prossima Nota per trattare l'esistenza di soluzioni di problemi di tempo minimo per certi insiemi meccanici riferiti a due coordinate, una delle quali è usata come controllo. Tali problemi riguardano l'altalena o lo sci.
