I want to construct the minimal convex hull of some n points such that the hull is a regular polygon of degree n. Math friends, pointers? :)

mmmh I don't really understand the problem. Isn't the convex hull minimal by definition?

It is, but I want to construct a minimal regular polygon (of n points) which encloses that hull.

By minimal, do you mean the one with minimum area? Or do you mean minimal with respect to containment?

Good question!! The real answer is "whichever one feels more fun to play with using fingers," so I'll take either. :)
