Points and lines configurations for perpendicular bisectors of convex cyclic polygons

Combinatorics 2022-10-28 v3 Metric Geometry Probability

Abstract

We characterize the topological configurations of points and lines that may arise when placing n points on a circle and drawing the n perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the corresponding convex cyclic n-gon. We also provide exact and asymptotic formulas describing a random realizable configuration, obtained either by sampling the points uniformly at random on the circle or by sampling a realizable configuration uniformly at random.
