Abstract

The main theme in the book “Introduction to Quasi-Quadrilaterals” is that of quasi-quadrilaterals and their properties. The first topic is about quasi-square represented by the equation x^2n+y^2=1 or x^2+y^2n=1.It is well-defined: the curve lies between the unit circle and the specified square which has its center at the origin of the Cartesian system and, sides of length 2 which are parallel to the coordinative axes. These type of closed curves do not represent squares but for values of n larger than 100 they are almost squares. From this phenomenon derives the name “quasi-square”.Also, it is proved that the curve, represented by such equation,perfectly fits to the sides of the specified square as n increases beyond bound. In this paper we present a more general case of the sequence of the quasi-squares and confirm the above fitness by proving that there exists the limit curve of such a sequence. Other subsidiary theorems are proved as well.
