We prove that over a Poncelet triangle family interscribed between two nested ellipses $\mathcal{E},\mathcal{E}_c$, (i) the locus of the orthocenter is not only a conic, but it is axis-aligned and homothetic to a $90^o$-rotated copy of…
A quadric in $\R P^3$ cuts a curve of degree 6 on a cubic surface in $\R P^3$. The papers classifies the nonsingular curves cut in this way on non-singular cubic surfaces up to homeomorphism. Two issues new in the study related to the first…
We develop a circle of ideas involving pairs of lines in the plane, intersections of hyperbolically rotated elliptical cones and the locus of the centers of rectangles inscribed in lines in the plane.
In this paper we reformulate Miquel-Steiner's theorem and we obtain Miquel-Steiner's point locus for an arbitrary triangle. We prove that this locus is related to conjugate circles and Brocard's circle. In addition, we obtain…
A point in the interior of a planar triangle determines a subdivision into six subtriangles. A triangle with angles commensurable with $\pi$ is called $\pi$-commensurable. For such a triangle a subdivision where each of the subtriangles are…
This is an exhaustive study of the seventeen elements of Pythagorean triangles, from the point of view of when such an element is an irrational number, a rational number, or an integer. For each of these 17 elements,precice conditions for…
A variable line through the centroid G of a triangle divides the triangle into two parts each of whose lengths as a fraction of the perimeter fills a closed interval [m,1-m], with m between 0 and 1/2. We show that the range of m taken over…
A compact classification of the projective lines defined over (commutative) rings (with unity) of all orders up to thirty-one is given. There are altogether sixty-five different types of them. For each type we introduce the total number of…
Inscribed angles are investigated in taxicab geometry with application to the existence and uniqueness of inscribed and circumscribed taxicab circles of triangles.
We study two notions. One is that of spindle convexity. A set of circumradius not greater than one is spindle convex if, for any pair of its points, it contains every short circular arc of radius at least one, connecting them. The other…
A bisection line divides a convex planar curve into two parts with equal areas. It is natural to study the envelope of these lines, which in general present singularities. The polygonal case is particularly inte\-resting, since there are…
The existence of excircles and an Apollonius circle for a triangle in taxicab geometry are connected to the concept of inscribed triangles.
Given a polygon $P$ in the triangular grid, we obtain a permutation $\pi_P$ via a natural billiards system in which beams of light bounce around inside of $P$. The different cycles in $\pi_P$ correspond to the different trajectories of…
Let $S$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ contained in a circle and $P$ an unrestricted point set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove the number of distinct distances between points in $S$ and points in $P$ is at least…
Planetary orbits, being conic sections, may be obtained as the locus of intersection of planes and cones. The planes involved are familiar to anyone who has studied the classical Kepler problem. We focus here on the cones.
An old theorem of Alexander Soifer's is the following: Given five points in a triangle of unit area, there must exist some three of them which form a triangle of area 1/4 or less. It is easy to check that this is not true if "five" is…
The focus of this paper is on the study of specific circle formations known as orthogonal Pappus chains and the related incidence results that involve points of tangency between the circles in the construction. These chains give rise to new…
In this paper, we study arrangements of orthogonal circles, that is, arrangements of circles where every pair of circles must either be disjoint or intersect at a right angle. Using geometric arguments, we show that such arrangements have…
This is a paper about triangle cubics and conics in classical geometry with elements of projective geometry. In recent years, N.J. Wildberger has actively dealt with this topic using an algebraic perspective. Triangle conics were also…
Two subsets $A, B$ of the plane are betweenness isomorphic if there is a bijection $f\colon A\to B$ such that, for every $x,y,z\in A$, the point $f(z)$ lies on the line segment connecting $f(x)$ and $f(y)$ if and only if $z$ lies on the…
