Characterization of the centroid by square preservation
Characterization of the centroid by square preservation
Let be a square and let be any point inside it. For each of the triangles , , , and , choose the corresponding center , , , and using the same center function.
Centroid characterization conjecture. If is a square independently of the choice of , then the common center function must be the centroid.
This asks whether the centroid is uniquely characterized among triangle centers by preserving a square when applied to the four triangles formed by an interior point and the sides of the original square. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the problem remains open.
