We characterize triples of cevians which form a triangle independent of the triangle where they are constructed. This problem is equivalent to solving a three-parameter family of inequalities which we call Ceva's triangle inequalities. Our…
Given a plane triangle $\Delta$, one can construct a new triangle $\Delta'$ whose vertices are intersections of two cevian triples of $\Delta$. We extend the family of operators $\Delta\mapsto\Delta'$ by complexifying the defining two…
We give a formula for counting the triangles in a picture consisting of the three sides of a triangle and some cevians. This lets us prove statements that are claimed without proof in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and some…
If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into smaller triangles of various sizes. We give theorems about the relationship between the radii of certain excircles of some of these…
If P is a point inside triangle ABC, then the cevians through P extended to the circumcircle of triangle ABC create a figure containing a number of curvilinear triangles. Each curvilinear triangle is bounded by an arc of the circumcircle…
If P is a point inside triangle ABC, then the cevians through P divide triangle ABC into six smaller triangles. We give theorems about the relationship between the radii of the circles inscribed in these triangles.
In 1840 Jacob Steiner on Christian Rudolf's request proved that a triangle with two equal bisectors is isosceles. But what about changing the bisectors to cevians? Cevian is any line segment in a triangle with one endpoint on a vertex of…
In this paper, a theorem about similar triangles is proved. It shows that two small and four large triangles similar to the original triangle can appear if we choose well among several intersections of the perpendicular bisectors of the…
If $P$ is a point inside $\triangle ABC$, then the cevians through $P$ divide $\triangle ABC$ into six small triangles. We give theorems about the relationships between the radii of the circumcircles of these triangles. We also state some…
We generalize the classical Ceva's and Menelaus's theorems to curvilinear triangles bounded by circular arcs. We introduce trilinear coordinates associated with such triangles and develop several geometric constructions. In particular, for…
A family of graphs F is said to be triangle-intersecting if for any two graphs G,H in F, the intersection of G and H contains a triangle. A conjecture of Simonovits and Sos from 1976 states that the largest triangle-intersecting families of…
Three circles define each of the Brocard points of a triangle. If one adds the three circles through a pair of vertices and the orthocentre one has nine circles. It is described how each of the nine centres of these circles lies at the…
We define a triangle design as a partition of the set of lines of a projective space into triangles, where a triangle consists of three pairwise intersecting lines with no common point. A triangle design is balanced if all points are…
The $r$th gonality of a graph is the smallest degree of a divisor on the graph with rank $r$. The gonality sequence of a graph is a tropical analogue of the gonality sequence of an algebraic curve. We show that the set of truncated gonality…
Triangles of groups have been introduced by Gersten and Stallings. They are, roughly speaking, a generalisation of the amalgamated free product of two groups and occur in the framework of Corson diagrams. First, we prove an intersection…
Starting from any given rational-sided, right triangle, for example the $(3,4,5)$-triangle with area $6$, we use Euclidean geometry to show that there are infinitely many other rational-sided, right triangles of the same area. We show…
An N -tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T, overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the "tile". The tile may or may not be similar to ABC . We wish to…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a finite nonempty set of $3$-element subsets of a totally ordered set $V$. We view $\mathcal{T}$ as the set of triangles in the support graph. Let $\delta_{1,\mathcal{T}}$ be the signed edge-triangle incidence matrix,…
Given a set of $n$ points $S$ in the plane, a triangulation $T$ of $S$ is a maximal set of non-crossing segments with endpoints in $S$. We present an algorithm that computes the number of triangulations on a given set of $n$ points in time…
Let $G$ be a complete convex geometric graph whose vertex set $P$ forms a convex polygon $C$, and let $F$ be a family of subgraphs of $G$. A blocker for $F$ is a set of edges, of smallest possible size, that contains a common edge with…
