The positions of the geometric centroid of a planar non-self-intersecting polygon with vertices (x_1,y_1), ..., (x_n,y_n) are x^_ = ...

The diameter of a polygon is the largest distance between any pair of vertices. In other words, it is the length of the longest polygon diagonal (e.g., straight line segment ...

The breaking up of self-intersecting polygons into simple polygons (illustrated above) is also called tessellation (Woo et al. 1999).

A knot equivalent to a polygon in R^3, also called a tame knot. For a polygonal knot K, there exists a plane such that the orthogonal projection pi on it satisfies the ...

A polygrammic prism is a prism formed by two regular polygrams offset along their symmetry axis and with corresponding edges connected by lateral faces. The hexagrammic prism ...

One of the symmetry groups of the Platonic solids. There are three polyhedral groups: the tetrahedral group of order 12, the octahedral group of order 24, and the icosahedral ...

A line segment where two faces of a polyhedron meet, also called a side.

A point at which three or more polyhedron edges of a polyhedron meet. The concept can also be generalized to a polytope.

An integer which is expressible in more than one way in the form x^2+Dy^2 or x^2-Dy^2 where x^2 is relatively prime to Dy^2. If the integer is expressible in only one way, it ...

A curve obtained by fitting polynomials to each ordinate of an ordered sequence of points. The above plots show polynomial curves where the order of the fitting polynomial ...
