Abstract:
In this paper, we present a simple proof of one result from a recent paper by Yu. G. Nikonorov and O. Yu. Nikonorova, the original proof of which is rather cumbersome and based on the study of polynomial ideals and symbolic computations using a computer. The new proof is based on Ptolemy's theorem on inscribed quadrilaterals. In addition, other properties of inscribed quadrilaterals and related problems are considered.
Key words:
convex polygon, convex quadrilateral, extremal problems, inscribed quadrilateral, integer pentagon, perimeter, Ptolemy's theorem.
