Abstract

An iterated circumcenter sequence (ICS) in dimension dd is a sequence of points in Rd\mathbb{R}^d where each point is the circumcenter of the preceding d+1d+1 points. The purpose of this paper is to completely determine the parameter space of ICSs and its subspace consisting of periodic ICSs. In particular, we prove Goddyn's conjecture on periodic ICSs, which was independently proven recently by Ardanuy. We also prove the existence of a periodic ICS in any dimension.
