- AbstractWe start with a generic n-gon \(Q_0\) with vertices \(q_{j,0}(j = 0, \ldots , n-1)\) in the d-dimensional Euclidean space \(\mathbb{E}^d\). Additionally, \(m+1\) real numbers \(u_0, \ldots, u_m \in \mathbb{R} (m < n) \) with \(\sum^m_{\mu=0} u_\mu = 1\) are given. From these initial data we iteratively define generations of n-gons \(Q_k\) in \(\mathbb{E}^d\) for \(k \in \mathbb{N}\) with vertices \( q_{j,k} := \sum^m_{\mu=0} u_\mu q_{j+\mu,k-1}\). We can show that this affine iteration generally regularizes in an affine sense.
