Abstract

We consider corner-cutting schemes for closed oriented polygons in the plane. At each step every vertex is replaced by two points on the adjacent edges; the same cutting coefficient is used at all vertices of the current polygon, but this coefficient may vary from step to step. For such schemes we prove the existence of a continuous limit curve and derive an explicit formula for its oriented area. The main result separates two contributions: the geometry of the initial contour enters through its oriented area and a local sum of determinants built from neighboring edges, while the entire dependence on the refinement rule is contained in a single numerical constant. We also discuss the geometric meaning of this constant as an area arising in the standard angle. As applications we consider stationary de Rham curves, the Chaikin scheme, the connection with Archimedes' quadrature of the parabola, and special sequences of coefficients leading to a circle and to an arc of a hyperbola; these give corresponding series for $\pi$ and $\log 2$.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
