Abstract

Given any two nonnegative integer points in the real plane, we consider all the integer points in their conical hull. We then find the unique minimal generating set of these points under coordinate-wise addition. In the process, we use negative continued fractions the approximate the slopes of the lines through the origin and these two points.
