A characterization of affinely regular polygons

Abstract: Abstract. In 1970, Coxeter gave a short and elegant geometric proof showing that if p 1 , p 2 , . . . , pn are vertices of an n-gon P in cyclic order, then P is affinely regular if, and only if there is some λ ≥ 0 such that p j+2 − p j−1 = λ(p j+1 − p j ) for j = 1, 2, . . . , n. The aim of this paper is to examine the properties of polygons whose vertices p 1 , p 2 , . . . , pn ∈ C satisfy the property that p j+m 1 − p j+m 2 = w(p j+k − p j ) for some w ∈ C and m 1 , m 2 , k ∈ Z. In particular, we show that i… Show more

“…. , q m of a polygon Q satisfy the condition that q i+2 − q i−1 = τ (q i+1 − q i ) for some τ > 0 independent of i, then Q is an affinely regular m-gon (see [5,6,8], or in a more general form, [18]). This implies that in this case P is affinely regular.…”
