Curve C - again

by Alexm <amcwill417@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 19, 2008 at 08:13 PM

Consider ' all '  possible and distinct (and closed) curves C in a
plane which are boundaries of star domains (# ) and all of which have
the same given length L.  Let S equal the area of a circle with
circumference L.   If one were to randomly (## ) choose a very large
number of these distinct curves and calculate the average area A would
A be closest to zero, closest to S/2 or closest to S ?  I do not know.


#  As supplied by F. Williams in previous Curve C thread, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_domain

## Defining " randomly " here may require further elaboration.
