LXII, 008 SECTIO A ANDRZEJ MIERNOWSKI Parallelograms inscribed in a curve having a circle as -isoptic Abstract. Jean-Marc Richard observed in [7] that maximal perimeter of a parallelogram inscribed in a given ellipse can be realized by a parallelogram with one vertex at any prescribed point of ellipse. Alain Connes and Don Zagier gave in [4] probably the most elementary proof of this property of ellipse. Another proof can be found in [1]. In this note we prove that closed, convex curves having circles as -isoptics have the similar property. 1. Introduction. Let C be a closed and strictly convex curve. We fix an interior point of C as an origin of a coordinate system. Denote e it = cos t, sin t, ie it = sin t, cos t. The function p : R R pt = sup z C z, e it is called the support function of C. For a strictly convex curve p is differentiable. We assume that the function p is of class C and the curvature of C is positive. We have the following equation of C in terms of its support function 1.1 zt = pte it + ṗtie it. Then z = p t + ṗ t and Rt = pt + pt is a radius of curvature of C at t. 000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 53C1. Key words and phrases. Convex curve, support function, curvature.
2 106 A. Miernowski The α-isoptic of C consists of those points in the plane from which the curve is seen under the fixed angle α for the geometric properties of isoptics see [], [3], [5], [6], [8]. Suppose that -isoptic of C is a circle of radius r with the center in the origin of a coordinate system. Then 1. p t + p t + = r, and 1.3 p t + + p t + = r, so pt = pt + and the center of the circle is a center of symmetry of C. The curve 1.1 has a circle with the center in the origin of a coordinate system as an -isoptic if and only if 1. holds good. Example 1.1. Let C be an ellipse x + y = 1. Then a b pt = a cos t + b sin t, zt = xt, yt = a cos t + b sin te it + sin t cos tb a a cos t + b sin t ieit is its equation in terms of a support function and p t+p t + = a +b.. Extremal property of the perimeter of inscribed parallelograms. Assume that a curve C given by 1.1 has a circle with a center in an origin of a coordinate system as an -isoptic. Then we have 1. and.1 ptṗt + p t + ṗ t + = 0. Fix t and consider inscribed parallelogram with zt as one of the vertices. There exists α such that zt+α, zt, zt+α are its remaining vertices and. d t α = zt + α zt + zt + α + zt is a half of a perimeter of parallelogram. Theorem.1. Let C be a strictly convex curve having a circle with a center in an origin of a coordinate system as an -isoptic and let d tα be the function given by.. Then i d t = 0, where prime denotes the derivative with respect to α, ii d = dt does not depend on t. Proof. We have e it+α = cos αe it + sin αie it, ie it+α = sin αe it + cos αie it, zt + α = pt + α cos α ṗt + α sin αe it + pt + α sin α + ṗt + α cos αie it.
3 Parallelograms inscribed in a curve Let Then and A = pt + α cos α ṗt + α sin α pt, B = pt + α sin α + ṗt + α cos α ṗt, C = pt + α cos α ṗt + α sin α + pt, D = pt + α sin α + ṗt + α cos α + ṗt. d t α = A + B + C + D d tα = pt + α + pt + α ṗt + α + pt sin α ṗt cos α + A + B Putting α =, we get d t ṗt + α pt sin α + ṗt cos α. C + D = R t + ṗt + + pt pt + ṗt + + pt + ṗt ṗt + + pt pt ṗt +. + pt + + ṗt From.1 we have and since p t + ṗt p ṗ t + = ptṗt pt +, t + = p t + + ṗt ṗ t = r p t + ṗ t we obtain = r zt > 0, sgn p t + ṗt = sgn p t + + ṗt. Hence ṗt + + pt pt + ṗt + + pt + ṗt ṗt + + pt pt ṗt + + pt + + ṗt
4 108 A. Miernowski = ptṗt pt+ + pt pt ptṗt pt+ + pt + ṗt = pt pt + + ptṗt pt+ pt pt + ptṗt pt+ + pt + + ṗt pt + ṗtpt + pt + ṗt p t + p t + pt + + ṗtpt + pt + + ṗt p t + p t + = 0, which proves the first part of Theorem.1. Let ht = d t = p t + ṗ t + + ṗt p t + + pt ṗ t + + ṗt + p t +. Then ḣt = Rtṗt pt + + Rt + pt + ṗt + pt + ṗt + ṗt + pt + + Rt + ṗt + pt + Rtṗt + pt + pt ṗt + ṗt + + pt + = R t + pt + ṗt + pt + ṗt + ṗt + pt + pt ṗt + pt ṗt + ṗt + + pt + ṗt pt + + Rt pt + ṗt + ṗt + pt + ṗt + pt + + pt ṗt + ṗt. + + pt +
5 Parallelograms inscribed in a curve Since the first summand is equal to zero for each t and the second summand is equal to the first at t +, they are equal to zero. 3. The converse theorem. In this section we shall prove the converse of Theorem.1. For this purpose we define the function dt = d t. Theorem 3.1. Let C be a closed and strictly convex curve of class C with positive curvature having a center of symmetry. Suppose that an origin of a coordinate system is in the center of C and d t = 0. Then dt = 0 and -isoptic of C is a circle. Proof. The equality d t = 0 is equivalent to ṗt + + pt pt + ṗt pt + ṗt pt ṗt + = pt ṗt +. + pt + + ṗt The equality 3.1 for t + gives 3. ṗt + pt + pt + + ṗt + pt ṗt + From 3.1 and 3. we get or equivalently which gives ptṗt + p pt + = ṗt pt + ṗt. + pt + ṗt + ṗt + + pt pt + ṗt = pt ṗt + ṗt + pt +, t + + p t + ṗ t + = 0, p t + p t + = const. Example 3.1 [5]. Let pt = cos 4 + k sint. For k sufficiently small pt is a support function of a closed and strictly convex curve having a circle as -isoptic and different from an ellipse. Example 3.. Let pt = a sin 3t + b cos 9t + c, for positive a, b, c. For c sufficiently big pt + pt > 0 for each t and p t + p t + = a + b + c so pt is a support function of a closed and strictly convex curve having a circle as -isoptic. This curve cannot be an ellipse because an origin of a coordinate system is its center of symmetry and pt is a periodic function
6 110 A. Miernowski with a period 3. Hence its curvature function is also periodic with the same period and this curve has more then four vertices. More generally we can take pt = a sin mt + b cos mnt + c, where m and m are odd integers and a, b, c are positive. Remark 3.1. Let C be an ellipse. We fix a diameter P P and consider an ellipse C with focuses at P and P which is tangent to C. Then points Q and Q of tangency give a diameter such that a perimeter of parallelogram P QP Q is maximal. The common tangent of C and C at Q resp. Q makes equal angels with the sides P Q and P Q resp. P Q and P Q. This means that for parallelogram of maximal perimeter a tangent at any vertex makes equal angles with adjoining sides. This is a part of a more general fact. Let C be any closed and convex curve given in an arbitrary parametrization z = zt of class C 1. Fix the points zt 1 and zt. Let zt 0 be such a point that the perimeter of the triangle zt 1 zt zt 0 is maximal. Then the tangent at t 0 makes equal angels with the sides zt 0 zt 1 and zt 0 zt. Indeed, d dt zt zt 1 + zt zt For t = t 0 we obtain = zt zt 1, żt zt zt 1 + zt zt, żt zt zt = zt zt 1 żt cos zt zt 1, żt zt zt 1 + zt zt żt cos zt zt, żt zt zt = żt cos zt zt 1, żt + cos zt zt, żt. cos zt 0 zt 1, żt 0 + cos zt 0 zt, żt 0 = 0.
