John Conway's Circle Theorem is a gem of plane geometry. The six points formed by continuing the sides of a triangle beyond every vertex by the length of its opposite side, are concyclic. The theorem has attracted several proofs. We present…
Our work explores fusions, the multidimensional counterparts of mean-preserving contractions and their extreme and exposed points. We reveal an elegant geometric/combinatorial structure for these objects. Of particular note is the…
In this paper we develop new extremal principles in variational analysis that deal with finite and infinite systems of convex and nonconvex sets. The results obtained, unified under the name of tangential extremal principles, combine primal…
Given fixed distinct points $A, B, C, D$, we examine properties of the locus of points $X$ for which $(XA, XC)$, $(XB, XD)$ are isogonal. This locus is a cubic curve circumscribing $ABCD$. We characterize all possible such cubics $\mathcal…
This work studies circle-geometry methods through their application to a main theorem about circles tangent twice to a conic. The authors investigate the Sharygin point -- a point lying in the pencil of two non-intersecting circles -- and…
A singular point on a plane conic defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ is a transcendental point of the curve which admits very good rational approximations, uniformly in terms of the height. Extremal numbers and Sturmian continued fractions are…
We prove existence of three unique ``max-exparabolas'' to a triangle. Each of these parabolas is internally tangent to one edge and the two other sides. Among all like parabolas, it is characterized by having maximal parameter. We use this…
In this article we investigate the properties of isogonal conjugation in isosceles tetrahedron. Particularly we reveal three hyperbolic paraboloids each of which is formed by pairs of isogonal conjugate points symmetric in the respective…
We consider high-dimensional percolation at the critical threshold. We condition the origin to be disjointly connected to two points, $x$ and $x'$, and subsequently take the limit as $|x|$, $|x'|$ as well as $|x-x'|$ diverge to infinity.…
Connections are found between the two-component percolation problem and the conductor/insulator percolation problem. These produce relations between critical exponents, and suggest formulae connecting the conductivity exponents in different…
We construct special conics configurations from some points configurations which are the singularities of the dual of a quartic curve.
A rational triangle is a triangle with sides of rational lengths. In this short note, we prove that there exists a unique pair of a rational right triangle and a rational isosceles triangle which have the same perimeter and the same area.…
Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn studied the maximum number of points in the plane that span $k$ distances and classified these configurations, as an inverse problem of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. We consider the analogous problem for…
In this paper, we show that the maximum number of points in $d\geq3$ dimensions determining exactly 2 distinct triangles is $2d$. We further show that this maximum is uniquely achieved by the vertices of the $d$-orthoplex. We build upon the…
Main Theorem. Two parabols have four common points. There exists a circle tangent to the sides of the obtained parabolic quadrilateral if and only if the diagonals of this quadrilateral are orthogonal. The proof of the Main Theorem is…
In optimal control problems, there exist different kinds of extremals, that is, curves candidates to be solution: abnormal, normal and strictly abnormal. The key point for this classification is how those extremals depend on the cost…
We prove a theorem on the relationships between the lengths of sides of a spherical quadrilateral with three right angles. They are analogous to the relationships in the Lambert quadrilateral in the hyperbolic plane. We apply this theorem…
We establish a relationship between the two important central lines of the triangle, the Euler line and the Brocard axis, in a configuration with an arbitrary rectangle and a random point. The classical Cartesian coordinate system method…
We study the following family of problems: Given a set of $n$ points in convex position, what is the maximum number triangles one can create having these points as vertices while avoiding certain sets of forbidden configurations. As…
For a given triangle $\triangle ABC$, we define two sequences of points on line $BC$ and provide their generalizations to real functions such that centers of circumscribed circles around $A$ and adjacent points in subsequences generate a…
