One system of equations concerning bicentric polygons

A polygon which has both a circumcircle and an incircle is said to be \textit{bicentric}. All triangles are bicentric. As to bicentric quadrilaterals, in 1797 N. Fuss established the following relation between the radius of the incircle \(r\), the radius of the circumcircle \(R\), and the distance \(d\) of the centers of these two circles: \[ (R^2-d^2)^2-2r^2(R^2+d^2)=0. \] In general, any relation relating \(r\), \(R\) and \(d\) for a bicentric \(n\)-gon is called a Fuss' relation. In this paper, bicentric octagons and bicentric \(16\)-gons are dealt with. A number of non-trivial relations involving systems of algebraic equations are established relying on some previous results by the same author.
