Abstract
We show that the -division points of all rational hypocycloids are constructible with an unmarked straightedge and compass for all integers , given a pre-drawn hypocycloid. We also consider the question of constructibility of -division points of hypocycloids without a pre-drawn hypocycloid in the case of a tricuspoid, concluding that only the , , , and -division points of a tricuspoid are constructible in this manner.
