Abstract

Let us consider a family F(α,β,γ,δ)F(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta) of convex quadrangles in the plane with given angles {α,β,γ,δ}\{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta\} and with the perimeter 2π2\pi. Such quadrangle QF(α,β,γ,δ)Q\in F(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta) can be considered as a point (x1,x2,x3,x4)R4(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)\in\mathbb{R}^4, where {x1,x2,x3,x4}\{x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4\} are lengths of edges. Then to FF a finite open segment IR4I\subset\mathbb{R}^4 is corresponded. A quadrangle in FF, that corresponds to the midpoint of II is called a \emph{balanced quadrangle}. Let MM be the set of balanced quadrangles. The function f:MMf:M\to M is defined in the following way: angles of the balanced quadrangle QQ', Q=f(Q)Q'=f(Q), are numerically equal to edges of QQ. The map ff defines a dynamical system in the space of balanced quadrangles. In this work we study properties of this system.
