Abstract: In this article we give new proofs for the existence and basic properties of the cirucmcenter of mass defined by V. E. Adler in 1993 and S. Tabachnikov and E. Tsukerman in 2013.


The circumcenter of mass of a simplicial polytope is defined, following a geometric construction by \textit{V. E. Adler} [Physica D 87, No. 1--4, 52--57 (1995; Zbl 1194.35353)], as an affine combination of the circumcenters of the simplexes in a triangulation of the polytope, weighted by their volumes. The author proves, in a different manner than in the paper by \textit{S. Tabachnikov} and \textit{E. Tsukerman} [Discrete Comput. Geom. 51, No. 4, 815--836 (2014; Zbl 1301.51023)], that in case of an equilateral polygon the circumcenter of mass coincides with the centroid of the polygonal lamina. This result is generalized to each \(d\)-dimensional simplicial polytope having the property that for each of its faces the sum of squares of its edges is constant.
