Descrição
Resumo:Wax compression and honeycomb resistance, and some other hypothesis as well (elimination of empty spaces between cylindrical cells and approximate emulation of bees bodies) drive to the first optimization problem: among all polygons with n ≥ 3 sides circumscribed into a circle with a given radius, determine the polygon P ∗ n with the smallest perimeter. This extrema problem with an isogonal condition is solved with a Lagrange multipliers method. It is proven that P ∗ n is a regular polygon and n ∈ {3, 4, 6}. Finally, another minimum problem drives to n = 6.
