Abstract
It is well known that any planar convex body A permits to inscribe an affine-regular hexagon \(H_A\). We prove that the centroid of A belongs to the homothetic image of \(H_A\) with ratio \(\frac{4}{21}\) and the center in the center of \(H_A\). This ratio cannot be decreased.
期刊介绍:
aequationes mathematicae is an international journal of pure and applied mathematics, which emphasizes functional equations, dynamical systems, iteration theory, combinatorics, and geometry. The journal publishes research papers, reports of meetings, and bibliographies. High quality survey articles are an especially welcome feature. In addition, summaries of recent developments and research in the field are published rapidly.
