Magic polygon
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
A magic polygon is a polygonal magic graph with integers on its vertices.
Perimeter magic polygon[edit]
A magic polygon, also called a perimeter magic polygon,[1][2] is a polygon with an integers on its sides that all add up to a magic constant.[3][4] It is where positive integers (from 1 to N) on a k-sided polygon add up to a constant.[1] Magic polygons are a generalization of other magic shapes[5] such as magic triangles.[6]
Magic polygon with a center point[edit]
Victoria Jakicic and Rachelle Bouchat defined magic polygons as n-sided regular polygons with 2n+1 nodes such that the sum of the three nodes are equal. In their definition, a 3 × 3 magic square can be viewed as a magic 4-gon. There are no magic odd-gons with this definition.[7]
Magic polygons and degenerated magic polygons[edit]
Danniel Dias Augusto and Josimar da Silva defined the magic polygon P(n,k) as a set of vertices of concentric n-gon and a center point. In this definition, magic polygons of Victoria Jakicic and Rachelle Bouchat can be viewed as P(n,2) magic polygons. They also defined degenerated magic polygons.[8]
