Jean-Marc Richard observed in [7] that maximal perimeter of a parallelogram inscribed in a given ellipse can be realized by a parallelogram with one vertex at any prescribed point of ellipse. Alain Connes and Don Zagier gave in [4] probably the most elementary proof of this property of ellipse. Another proof can be found in [1]. In this note we prove that closed, convex curves having circles as π/2-isoptics have the similar property.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 52A10. A convex arc in the plane is introduced as an oriented arc G satisfying the following condition: For any three of its points c1 < c2 < c3 the triangle c1c2c3 is counter-clockwise oriented. It is proved that each such arc G is a closed and connected subset of the boundary of the set FG being the convex hull of G. It is shown that the convex arcs are rectifyable and admit a representation in the natural parameter by the...
