  • Extremal Problems for Convex Polygons ∗
    Extremal Problems for Convex Polygons ∗ Charles Audet Ecole´ Polytechnique de Montreal´ Pierre Hansen HEC Montreal´ Fred´ eric´ Messine ENSEEIHT-IRIT Abstract. Consider a convex polygon Vn with n sides, perimeter Pn, diameter Dn, area An, sum of distances between vertices Sn and width Wn. Minimizing or maximizing any of these quantities while fixing another defines ten pairs of extremal polygon problems (one of which usually has a trivial solution or no solution at all). We survey research on these problems, which uses geometrical reasoning increasingly complemented by global optimization meth- ods. Numerous open problems are mentioned, as well as series of test problems for global optimization and nonlinear programming codes. Keywords: polygon, perimeter, diameter, area, sum of distances, width, isoperimeter problem, isodiametric problem. 1. Introduction Plane geometry is replete with extremal problems, many of which are de- scribed in the book of Croft, Falconer and Guy [12] on Unsolved problems in geometry. Traditionally, such problems have been solved, some since the Greeks, by geometrical reasoning. In the last four decades, this approach has been increasingly complemented by global optimization methods. This allowed solution of larger instances than could be solved by any one of these two approaches alone. Probably the best known type of such problems are circle packing ones: given a geometrical form such as a unit square, a unit-side triangle or a unit- diameter circle, find the maximum radius and configuration of n circles which can be packed in its interior (see [46] for a recent survey and the site [44] for a census of exact and approximate results with up to 300 circles).

Each segment that forms a polygon is a side of the polygon. The common endpoint of two sides is a vertex of the polygon. A segment that connects any two nonconsecutive vertices is a diagonal. You can name a polygon by the number of its sides. The table shows the names of some common polygons. All the sides are congruent in an equilateral polygon. All the angles are congruent in an equiangular polygon. A regular polygon is one that is both equilateral and equiangular. If a polygon is not regular, it is called irregular. A polygon is concave if any part of a diagonal contains points in the exterior of the polygon. If no diagonal contains points in the exterior, then the polygon is convex.

OECD/NEA has initiated an international Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling (UAM) benchmark focused on uncertainties in modeling of Light Water Reactor (LWR). The first step of uncertainty propagation is to perform sensitivity to the input data affected by the numerical errors and physical models. The objective of the present paper is to study the effect of the numerical discretization error and the manufacturing tolerances on fuel pin lattice integral parameters (multiplication factor and macroscopic cross- sections) through sensitivity calculations. The two-dimensional deterministic codes NEWT and HELIOS were selected for this work. The NEWT code was used for analysis of the TMI-1, PB-2, and Kozloduy-6 test cases; the TMI-1 test case was investigated using the HELIOS code.

Vocabulary : Side, Vertex, Diagonal, Interior angle, Exterior angle; Regular polygon Convexity and concavity of figures and polygons – what is a convex/non-convex figure? Make sure you know to classify figures such as those on the right. Classification of polygons. How do we classify/name polygons? What is a regular polygon? Interior angles sum . Find the sum of interior angles of (any) given polygon (see pictures). You also should be able to derive (justify) the formula for interior angle sum of a n-sided polygon. (Hint: recall #2 and 3 on pg.56) Find an interior angle of a regular pentagon. (Hint: First find the sum of all interior angles in a pentagon and then calculate the measure of one angle.) True or false? If it is false, draw a counterexample. • A regular polygon is always equilateral. • An equiangular polygon is also equilateral. • Pentagon that has all sides congruent is a regular pentagon. Etc. Quadrilaterals Definition – How do we define quadrilaterals? What do you know about the definitions of a trapezoid and kite? Each has two significantly different definitions - explain the difference (“modern” and “traditional”). Classification of quadrilaterals. Use Venn Diagram to classify quadrilaterals (use the traditional definitions of trapezoid and kite). Draw a typical representative in each region of your Venn Diagram. How would the diagram change if you were to use trapezoid’s “modern” definition? Answer the following questions or decide if the statements are true or false and justify your answer.
