Description: Let delta(n) denote the self-circumference of a regular polygon with n sides. It will be      shown that delta (n) is monotonically increasing from 6 to 2 pi if n is twice and odd      number, and monotonically decreasing from 8 to 2 pi if n is twice an even number.      Calculation of delta (n) for the case where n is odd as well as inequalities for      self-circumference of some irregular polygons are given. Properties of the mixed area of a      plane convex body and its polar dual are used to discuss the self-circumference of some      convex curves. (kr)
