چکیده
We classify the set of quadrilaterals that can be inscribed in convex Jordan curves, continuous as well smooth case. This answers a question Makeev special case curves. The difficulty this problem comes from fact standard topological arguments to prove existence solutions do not apply here due lack sufficient symmetry. Instead, proof makes use an area argument Karasev and Tao, which we furthermore simplify elaborate on. requires additional analysis singular points, small miracle, then extends show problems inscribing isosceles trapezoids curves piecewise $C^1$ are equivalent.

An Area Inequality for Ellipses Inscribed in Quadrilaterals
If E is any ellipse inscribed in a convex quadrilateral, D – , then we prove that Area (E) Area(D – ) π 4 , and equality holds if and only if D – is a parallelogram and E is tangent to the sides of D – at the midpoints. We also prove that the foci of the unique ellipse of maximal area inscribed in a parallelogram, D – , lie on the orthogonal least squares line for the vertices of D – . This doe...
متن کاملConvex Quadrilaterals and k-Sets
We prove that the minimum number of convex quadrilaterals determined by n points in general position in the plane – or in other words, the rectilinear crossing number of the complete graph Kn – is at least ( 38 + 10 −5) ( n 4 ) +O(n). Our main tool is a lower bound on the number of (≤ k)-sets of the point set: we show that for every k ≤ n/2, there are at least 3 ( k+1 2 ) subsets of size at mos...
متن کاملHeron Quadrilaterals via Elliptic Curves
A Heron quadrilateral is a cyclic quadri lateral whose area and side lengths are rational. In this work, we establish a correspondence between Heron quadri laterals and a family of elliptic curves of the form y2 = 3 2 x + αx2 − n x. This correspondence generalizes the no tions of Goins and Maddox who established a similar connec tion between Heron triangles and elliptic curves. We further s...
متن کاملToric Geometry of Convex Quadrilaterals
We provide an explicit resolution of the Abreu equation on convex labeled quadrilaterals. This confirms a conjecture of Donaldson in this particular case and implies a complete classification of the explicit toric Kähler– Einstein and toric Sasaki–Einstein metrics constructed in [6, 23, 14]. As a byproduct, we obtain a wealth of extremal toric (complex) orbi-surfaces, including Kähler–Einstein ...
متن کاملLargest inscribed rectangles in convex polygons
We consider approximation algorithms for the problem of computing an inscribed rectangle having largest area in a convex polygon on n vertices. If the order of the vertices of the polygon is given, we present a randomized algorithm that computes an inscribed rectangle with area at least (1− ) times the optimum with probability t in time O( 1 log n) for any constant t < 1. We further give a dete...
