- W4387151384 abstract "What is the smallest number of pieces that you can cut an n-sided regular polygon into so that the pieces can be rearranged to form a rectangle? Call it r(n). The rectangle may have any proportions you wish, as long as it is a rectangle. The rules are the same as for the classical problem where the rearranged pieces must form a square. Let s(n) denote the minimum number of pieces for that problem. For both problems the pieces may be turned over and the cuts must be simple curves. The conjectured values of s(n), 3 <= n <= 12, are 4, 1, 6, 5, 7, 5, 9, 7, 10, 6. However, only s(4)=1 is known for certain. The problem of finding r(n) has received less attention. In this paper we give constructions showing that r(n) for 3 <= n <= 12 is at most 2, 1, 4, 3, 5, 4, 7, 4, 9, 5, improving on the bounds for s(n) in every case except n=4. For the 10-gon our construction uses three fewer pieces than the bound for s(10). Only r(3) and r(4) are known for certain. We also briefly discuss q(n), the minimum number of pieces needed to dissect a regular n-gon into a monotile." @default.
