Super + Ellipse = Super Ellipse!

Geometry Level 5

The above animation shows the maximum packing of the ellipse bounded by two axes in the superellipse of the equation x n + y n = 1 |x|^n + |y|^n = 1 . If the maximum total area ratio of the inscribed ellipses to the superellipse for 0 < n 2 0 < n \leq 2 is A A , input 1 0 5 A \lfloor 10^5 A\rfloor as your answer.


For Fun. For n 1 n \geq 1 , generalize the critical (maximum possible) eccentricity value of centrally-positioned ellipses, such that either their major axes or their minor axes each share one common point of tangency with the superellipse at y = x y = x or y = x y = -x .


Inspiration.


The answer is 76980.
