Morse index of a cyclic polygon

It is known that cyclic configurations of a planar polygonal linkage are critical points of the signed area function. In the paper we give an explicit formula of the Morse index for the signed area of a cyclic configuration. We show that it depends not only on the combinatorics of a cyclic configuration, but also on its metric properties.

* A preliminary version of this paper was presented at XI Encuentros de Geometr´ia Computacional, Santander, Spain, June 2005. We consider sets of points in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane. For a planar point set in general position, i.e. no three points collinear, a triangulation is a maximal set of non-intersecting straight line segments with vertices in the given points. These segments, called edges, subdivide the convex hull of the set into triangular regions called...
