We develop a theory of planar, origin-symmetric, convex domains that are inextensible with respect to lattice covering, that is, domains such that augmenting them in any way allows fewer domains to cover the same area. We show that origin-symmetric inextensible domains are exactly the origin-symmetric convex domains with a circle of outer billiard triangles. We address a conjecture by Genin and Tabachnikov about convex domains, not necessarily symmetric, with a circle of outer billiard…

Maximum-Area Triangle in a Convex Polygon, Revisited

When is the Ball a Local Pessimum for Covering?

It is found that the ball is a local pessimum in 3 dimensions, but not so in 4 and 5 dimensions.

A linear-time algorithm for the maximum-area inscribed triangle in a convex polygon

Given the n vertices of a convex polygon in cyclic order, can the triangle of maximum area inscribed in P be determined by an algorithm with O(n) time complexity? A purported linear-time algorithm by…

Following a recent paper by Baryshnikov and Zharnitsky, we consider outer billiards in the plane possessing invariant curves consisting of periodic orbits. We prove the existence and abundance of…

On a general method for maximizing and minimizing among certain geometric problems

Algorithms solving a number of problems concerned with finding inscribing or circumscribing polygons that maximize some measurement in linear time use the common approach of finding an initial solution with respect to a fixed bounding point and iteratively transforming this solution into a new solution withrespect to a new point.
