A principal vertex x_i of a simple polygon P is called a mouth if the diagonal [x_(i-1),x_(i+1)] is an extremal diagonal (i.e., the interior of [x_(i-1),x_(i+1)] lies in the ...

The recurrence relation E_n=E_2E_(n-1)+E_3E_(n-2)+...+E_(n-1)E_2 which gives the solution to Euler's polygon division problem.

A star polygon-like figure {p/q} for which p and q are not relatively prime. Examples include the hexagram {6/2}, star of Lakshmi {8/2}, and nonagram {9/3}.

A figurate number corresponding to a configuration of points which form a pyramid with r-sided regular polygon bases can be thought of as a generalized pyramidal number, and ...

An incircle is an inscribed circle of a polygon, i.e., a circle that is tangent to each of the polygon's sides. The center I of the incircle is called the incenter, and the ...

A hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon, also variously known as an undecagon or unidecagon. The term "hendecagon" is preferable to the other two since it uses the Greek prefix ...

A heptagon is a seven-sided polygon. It is also sometimes called a septagon, though this usage mixes a Latin prefix sept- (derived from septua-, meaning "seven") with the ...

A 32-sided polygon. The regular icosidodecagon is a constructible polygon, and the regular icosidodecahedron of side length 1 has inradius r, circumradius R, and area A r = ...

The radius of a polygon's incircle or of a polyhedron's insphere, denoted r or sometimes rho (Johnson 1929). A polygon possessing an incircle is same to be inscriptable or ...

The Catalan numbers on nonnegative integers n are a set of numbers that arise in tree enumeration problems of the type, "In how many ways can a regular n-gon be divided into ...
