Envelopes of Bisection Lines of Polygons

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A bisecting line divides a polygon in two parts of equal areas and the envelope of bisecting lines mathcalH is a concatenation of hyperbolic arcs. Some concatenation points are cusps, while other are not. In this paper we consider two closely related sets, the mid-point locus mathcalM and the discrete envelope mathcalE, that help in characterizing the cusp points. Moreover, these sets allow us to give a natural solution to the inverse problem, i.e., the problem of finding polygons with a given envelope of bisecting lines.
