Largest Small n-Polygons: Numerical Results and Conjectured Optima
LSP(n), the largest small polygon with n vertices, is defined as the polygon of unit diameter that has maximal area A(n). Finding the configuration LSP(n) and the corresponding A(n) for even values n >= 6 is a long-standing challenge that leads to an interesting class of nonlinear optimization problems. We present numerical solution estimates for … Read more
