Generalization of Apollonius Circle

Metric Geometry 2021-05-11 v1

Abstract

Apollonius of Perga, showed that for two given points A,BA,B in the Euclidean plane and a positive real number k1k\neq 1, geometric locus of the points XX that satisfies the equation XA=kXB|XA|=k|XB| is a circle. This circle is called Apollonius circle. In this paper we generalize the definition of the Apollonius circle for two given circles Γ1,Γ2\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2 and we show that geometric locus of the points XX with the ratio of the power with respect to the circles Γ1,Γ2\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2 is constant, is also a circle. Using this we generalize the definition of Apollonius Circle, and generalize some results about Apollonius Circle.
