COMMENT

When n is odd, there are no intersections in the interior of an n-gon where more than 2 diagonals meet.

When n is not a multiple of 6, there are no intersections in the interior of an n-gon where more than 3 diagonals meet.

When n is not a multiple of 30, there are no intersections in the interior of an n-gon where more than 5 diagonals meet.

I checked the following conjecture up to n=210: "An n-gon with n=30k has 5n points where 6 or 7 diagonals meet and no points where more than 7 diagonals meet; If k is odd, then 6 diagonals meet in each of 4n points and 7 diagonals meet in each of n points; If k is even, then no groups of exactly 6 diagonals meet in a point, while exactly 7 diagonals meet in each of 5n points."

Sequences formed by drawing all diagonals in regular polygon

EXAMPLE

a(6)=60 because inside a regular 12-gon there are 60 points (4 on each radius and 1 midway between radii) where exactly three diagonals intersect.

EXTENSIONS

There was some confusion about the precise definition of this sequence and some of the comments may still be wrong. The whole entry needs to be rechecked. - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Mar 17 2008
