An equality for the curvature function of a simple and closed curve on the plane

We prove an equality for the curvature function of a simple and closed curve on the plane. This equality leads to another proof of the four-vertex theorem in differential geometry. While examining the regularity assumption on the curve for the equality, we make comments on the relation between the b...
