Properties of Parabola-Inscribed Poncelet Polygons

KoG (KoG), 2021
Abstract

We investigate properties of Poncelet NN-gon families inscribed in a parabola and circumscribing a focus-centered circle. These can be regarded as the polar images of a bicentric family with respect to the circumcircle, such that the bicentric incircle contains the circumcenter. We derive closure conditions for several NN and describe curious Euclidean properties such as straight line, circular, and point, loci, as well as a (perhaps new) conserved quantity.
