An Evolutionary Structure of Convex Quadrilaterals

Anastasios N. Zachos, Gerasimos Zouzoulas

We solve the problem of the evolution of convex quadrilaterals by applying the inverse weighted Fermat-Torricelli problem, the invariance property of the weighted Fermat-Torricelli point in the plane

\mathbb{R}^2 R 2
, two-dimensional sphere
S^2 S 2
and the two-dimensional hyperboloid
H^2 H 2
. This means that the property of plasticity is inherited by some evolutionary convex quadrilaterals. An important application is the connection of the Fermat-Torricelli point with the fundamental equation of P. de Fermat.
