The celebrated theorem of Feuerbach states that the nine-point circle of a nonequilateral triangle is tangent to both its incircle and its three excircles. In this note, we give a simple proof of Feuerbach's Theorem using straightforward…
Inverting the vertices of elliptic billiard N-periodics with respect to a circle centered on one focus yields a new "focus-inversive" family inscribed in Pascal's Lima\c{c}on. The following are some of its surprising invariants: (i)…
In this paper, we deal with a classical object, namely, a nonhyperbolic limit cycle in a system of smooth autonomous ordinary differential equations. While the existence of a center manifold near such a cycle was assumed in several studies…
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.
Euclid's reasoning is essentially constructive. Tarski's elegant and concise first-order theory of Euclidean geometry, on the other hand, is essentially non-constructive, even if we restrict attention (as we do here) to the theory with…
Inscribed angles are investigated in taxicab geometry with application to the existence and uniqueness of inscribed and circumscribed taxicab circles of triangles.
The investigations on higher-order type theories and on the related notion of parametric polymorphism constitute the technical counterpart of the old foundational problem of the circularity (or impredicativity) of second and higher order…
A theorem of Meyer and Reisner characterizes ellipsoids by the collinearity of centroids of parallel sections: if $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is a convex body such that for every $n$-dimensional subspace $M\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ the…
Let C be an algebraic curve in a power of an elliptic curve, both defined over the algebraic numbers. We show that the set of algebraic points of C which satisfy certain conditions is a finite set. This result has implications with the…
Nielsen's theorem states that any triangle can be inscribed in a planar Jordan curve. We prove a generalisation of this theorem, extending to any Jordan curve $J$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, for a restricted set of triangles. We then…
The 1d family of Poncelet polygons interscribed between two circles is known as the Bicentric family. Using elliptic functions and Liouville's theorem, we show (i) that this family has invariant sum of internal angle cosines and (ii) that…
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…
A Delaunay cell decomposition of a surface with constant curvature gives rise to a circle pattern, consisting of the circles which are circumscribed to the facets. We treat the problem whether there exists a Delaunay cell decomposition for…
We consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of elliptic and parabolic equations in the upper-half space $\mathbb{R}^d_+$, where the coefficients are the product of $x_d^\alpha, \alpha \in (-\infty, 1),$ and a bounded uniformly elliptic…
A smooth ruled surface in 4-space has only parabolic points or inflection points of real type. We show, by means of contact with transverse planes, that at a parabolic point, there exist two tangent directions determining two planes along…
This paper continues the investigation of the relation between the geometry of a circle embedding and the values of its Fourier coefficients. First, we answer a question of Kovalev and Yang concerning the support of the Fourier transform of…
Let $P$ be a finite point set in the plane. A \emph{$c$-ordinary triangle} in $P$ is a subset of $P$ consisting of three non-collinear points such that each of the three lines determined by the three points contains at most $c$ points of…
In any triangle, the perpendicular side bisectors meet the corresponding internal angle bisectors on the circumcircle. If we take those three points as the vertices of a new triangle and repeat the operation indefinitly, we end up in the…
We obtain asymptotic formulae with optimal error terms for the number of lattice points under and near a dilation of the standard parabola, the former improving upon an old result of Popov. These results can be regarded as achieving the…
We investigate vertices for plane curves with singular points. As plane curves with singular points, we consider Legendre curves (respectively, Legendre immersions) in the unit tangent bundle over the Euclidean plane and frontals…
