Abstract

Let CRCr denote an annulus formed by two non-concentric circles CR, Cr in the Euclidean plane. We prove that if Poncelet’s closure theorem holds for k-gons circuminscribed to CRCr, then there exist circles inside this annulus which satisfy Poncelet’s closure theorem together with Cr, with ngons for any n > k.
