Abstract: Friezes with coefficients are maps assigning numbers to the edges and diagonals of a regular polygon such that all Ptolemy relations for crossing diagonals are satisfied. Among these, the classic Conway-Coxeter friezes are the ones where all values are natural numbers and all edges have value 1. Every subpolygon of a Conway-Coxeter frieze yields a frieze with coefficients over the natural numbers. In this paper we give a complete arithmetic criterion for which friezes with coefficients appear as subpolygons of Conway-Coxeter friezes. This generalizes a result of our earlier paper with Peter Jorgensen from triangles to subpolygons of arbitrary size.
