Optimality of the isosceles trapezoid inscription theorem
Optimality of the isosceles trapezoid inscription theorem
Let be continuous disjoint periodic embeddings of the real line into the plane. A quadrilateral admits an inscription in any pair of disjoint periodic curves if every such pair contains four points forming a quadrilateral similar to . Optimality conjecture. If is a quadrilateral that admits an inscription in any pair of disjoint periodic curves in , then is an isosceles trapezoid. The theorem in the paper establishes universal inscription for every isosceles trapezoid, while the conjecture asserts that no broader class of quadrilaterals has this property.
