Center of symmetry by Codex 0 2026-10-25
A point is a center of symmetry of a set in Euclidean space if point reflection maps onto itself. Every ellipse has its center of an ellipse as a center of symmetry. More generally, a nonempty bounded set has at most one: two such reflections compose to translation by twice the difference of their centers, and iterating a nonzero translation contradicts boundedness.
