Divide angles by coefficients relate to Fibonacci sequence
In the left Figure, consider a right triangle $OPA$ with $\angle {AOP} = 90^\circ$. Let $\ell$ be the reflection of $PO$ in $PA$ and $\ell$ meets $OA$ at $A_1$. Let $O_1$ be the center of the circle $(...

There exists differentiable curves arbitrarily close to the continuous ones
Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold; if $d$ is the distance on $M$, we can consider the distance $D$ between any two continuous curves given by $D(c, \gamma) = \max _{t \in [0,1]} d(c(t), \gamma(t))$.

$(n-2)$-degree curve passing through $n(n-1)/2$ midpoints
It is known that in the plane, there is an unique conic passing through given $5$ points.
For any $4$ points, there is 6 segments which vertex from these points.
It is known that $6$ midpoints of ...

Connecting a compact subset by a simple curve
Let $K$ be a compact subset of $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\ge 2$ (say if you like $n=2$, which is possibly sufficiently representative).
Q: Does there exist a closed simple curve $u:\mathbb S^1\to\mathbb R^...

Does this property characterize straight lines in the plane?
Take a plane curve $\gamma$ and a disk of fixed radius whose center moves along $\gamma$. Suppose that $\gamma$ always cuts the disk in two simply connected regions of equal area. Is it true that $\...

Closed curves with minimal total curvature in the unit circle
Chakerian proved in this paper that a closed curve of length L in the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ has total curvature at least L.
In this later paper Chakerian gave a simpler proof and noted that ...

I found a (probably new) family of real analytic closed Bezier-like curves; is it publishable?
Given $n$ distinct points $\mathbf{x} = (\mathbf{x}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{x}_n)$ in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$, I associate a real analytic map:
$f_{\mathbf{x}}: S^1 \to \mathbb{R}^2$
with the following ...

Axioms of length
Assume I want to define length of plane curves axiomatically.
It seems to be reasonable to assume that
The length of a unit segment is 1;
Congruent curves have equal lengths;
Length is additive with ...

Is there a dense subset on closed Jordan curve $C$ which its points make intersections under certain rotations?
Is it true that for any given closed Jordan curve of $C \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ there is a dense subset $A$ such that for every point $p\in A$ we have the following property:
If we rotate $C$ around $p$...

Can a shape rolling inside itself reproduce that shape?
Q. Is the circle the only shape that, when rolling inside itself,
has a point that draws out a scaled copy of itself?
Let $C$ be a simple, closed, smooth curve in the plane.
(Likely "smooth" can be ...
