What is it about?

In this work we define Magic Polygons P(n, k) and Degenerated Magic Polygons D(n, k) and we obtain their main properties, such as the magic sum and the value corresponding to the root vertex. The existence of magic polygons P(n, k) and degenerated magic polygons D(n, k) are discussed for certain values of n and k.

Why is it important?

Because this subject constitutes a fecund field for future works.

Perspectives

The Magic Polygons P(n;2) had already been introduced, where sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of polygons P(n;2) such as those presented in this article. In this work we discuss the existence and non-existence of examples for Magic Polygons P(n; k) and Degenerate Magic Polygons D(n; k) for n and k satisfying some conditions, but the complete answer about the conditions of existence of these structures for all values of n and k is an open problem. In this way, this subject constitutes a fecund field for future works.
