Tight bounds on the maximal perimeter of convex equilateral small polygons
et référence BibTeX
A small polygon is a polygon of unit diameter. The maximal perimeter of a convex equilateral small polygon with \(n=2^s\)
vertices is not known when \(s \ge 4\)
. In this paper, we construct a family of convex equilateral small \(n\)
-gons, \(n=2^s\)
and \(s\ge 4\)
, and show that their perimeters are within \(\pi^4/n^4 + O(1/n^5)\)
of the maximal perimeter and exceed the previously best known values from the literature. For the specific cases where \(n=32\)
and \(n=64\)
, we present solutions whose perimeters are even larger, as they are within \(1.1 \times 10^{-5}\)
and \(2.1 \times 10^{-6}\)
of the optimal value, respectively.
