Invariance of the perimeter of focus-inversive polygons
Invariance of the perimeter of focus-inversive polygons
A focus-inversive polygon is obtained from an -periodic billiard polygon by the focus-inversive construction described in the paper. Its perimeter is denoted by . Perimeter invariance conjecture. The perimeter of the focus-inversive polygon is invariant for any . This is experimentally observed in the paper; the preceding results establish the analogous invariance for the focus-inversive family, while invariance for arbitrary remains unresolved.
