Polygons with Parallel Opposite Sides

In this paper we consider convex planar polygons with parallel opposite sides. These polygons can be regarded as discretizations of closed convex planar curves by taking tangent lines at samples with pairwise parallel tangents. For such polygons, we define discrete versions of the area evolute, central symmetry set, equidistants, and area parallels and show that they behave quite similarly to their smooth counterparts.
