From a given set of \(n\) points in the Euclidean plane, a point centers itself by determining its three nearest neighbours, finding the center of the circle through them and moving then to that center. The whole point set centers itself if all its members center themselves simultaneously. (E.g., a parallelogram is centered to a similar parallelogram.) The authors mainly study the above described procedure for four-point sets (i.e., for quadrilaterals) showing how the interior angles, area and edge-lengths of the given 4-gons determine the respective quantities of the centered one.
