On Strictly Convex Central Configurations of the 2n-Body Problem

We consider planar central configurations of the Newtonian 2 n -body problem consisting in two twisted regular n -gons of equal masses. We prove the conjecture that for n ≥ 5 all convex central configurations of two twisted regular n -gons are strictly convex.
