Beyond Conway's concyclicity theorem: generalization and alternatives
Abstract
The famous concyclicity theorem stated by John H. Conway is here reconsidered by means of a parametrisation of the associated triangular configuration with arbitrary triplets of real numbers (;;). This theorem, thus corresponding to the case (;;)=(1;1;1), is generalized while demonstrating that there always exist an infinite family of such triplets which keeps unchanged the conclusion. The "anti-Conway" configuration corresponding to the case (;;)=(-1;-1;-1) is also investigated : Xavier Dussau's theorem of concurrent lines is redemonstrated and completed by another concyclicity theorem. It is also proved that there exist in general a unique triplet (;;)(-1;-1;-1) which is a function of the sides of the considered triangle and which keeps unchanged the conclusion of Dussau's theorem.
