The Number of Inscribed and Circumscribed Polygons of a Convex Polygon
摘要
In this paper, we study a Poncelet-type problem concerning the number of convex n-gons that can be inscribed in one convex n-gon and circumscribed about another. We prove that this number is at most four, and that the bound is sharp. This contrasts with Poncelet-type porisms, where the existence of a single such polygon usually implies the existence of infinitely many.
