Invariant reciprocal area sum for lateral harmonic polygons
Invariant reciprocal area sum for lateral harmonic polygons
Let be a Poncelet family of -gons interscribed between two homothetic, concentric ellipses, and let and be the areas of the two lateral harmonic polygons obtained as polar images with respect to circles centered at the two foci of the inner ellipse. Lateral-area invariant conjecture. For any odd , the quantity
is invariant. The formula is proved for and , while the assertion for every odd is presented experimentally and remains open.
