Abstract:
We consider transformations obtained from local homogeneous rules of motion of polygons in the plane for which regular polygons are stationary (the so-called “circle formation” problem). These transformations are studied for initial states that are close to regular polygons. A method of determination of the rate of convergence to regular polygons is presented; on this basis we obtain estimates of the highest rate of convergence.
