An extremum problem for the power moment of a convex polygon contained in a disc.

In this paper, we investigate an extremum problem for the power moment of a convex polygon contained in a disc. Our result is a generalization of a classical theorem: among all convex n-gons contained in a given disc, the regular n-gon inscribed in the circle (up to rotation) uniquely maximizes the area functional. It also implies that, among all convex n-gons contained in a given disc and containing the center in those interiors, the regular n-gon inscribed in the circle (up to rotation) uniquely maximizes the mean of the length of the chords passing through the center of the disc.
