TCC-Perspectors & Tripolar Centroids
X1601–X1661 (TCC-Perspectors & Tripolar Centroids) — 16 representative centers (from 61 in collection) constructed on acute reference triangle \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) with unit baseline AB = \(1\).¶
Group Preamble — TCC Perspectors 1601-1634
Suppose P is a point. As noted in TCCT, p. 201, the tangential triangle is perspective to the circumcevian triangle of P. (The tangential triangle is also perspector to the circum-anticevian triangle of P, with the same perspector as for the circumcevian triangle of P.) In August 2003, Jean-Pierre Ehrmann noted that if P =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics), then the perspector is given by
\(a^{2}(b^{4}/y^{2} + c^{4}/z^{2} - a^{4}/x^{2})\) : \(b^{2}(c^{4}/z^{2} + a^{4}/x^{2} - b^{4}/y^{2})\) : \(c^{2}(a^{4}/x^{2} + b^{4}/y^{2} - c^{4}/z^{2})\) .
Denote this perspector by T(P), and call it the TCC-perspector of P. If P =\(x : y : z\) (trilinears), then
T(P) =\(a(b^{2}/y^{2} + c^{2}/z^{2} - a^{2}/x^{2}) : b(c^{2}/z^{2} + a^{2}/x^{2} - b^{2}/y^{2}) : c(a^{2}/x^{2} + b^{2}/y^{2} - c^{2}/z^{2})\).
The transformation T carries triangle centers to triangle centers. The appearance of i → j in the following list means that T(Xi) = Xj: 1 → 3, 2 → 22, 3 → 1498, 4 → 24, 5 → 1601, 6 → 6, 7 → 1602, 8 → 1603, 9 → 1604, 13 → 1605, 14 → 1606, 15 → 24303, 17 → 1607, 18 → 1608, 19 → 1609, 21 → 1610, 25 → 1611, 28 → 1612, 31 → 1613, 32 → 33786, 35 → 33669, 54 → 1614, 55 → 1615, 56 → 1616, 57 → 1617, 58 → 595, 59 → 1618, 63 → 1619, 64 → 1620, 75 → 33801, 76 → 33802, 81 → 1621, 83 → 1078, 84 → 1622, 86 → 23374, 88 → 1623, 162 → 1624, 163 → 1625, 174 → 1626, 188 → 2933, 249 → 33803, 251 → 1627, 254 → 1628, 259 → 198, 266, → 56, 275 → 1629, 284 → 1630, 365 → 55, 366 → 1631, 508 → 23852, 509 → 1486, 512 → 33704, 523 → 30715, 648 → 1632, 651 → 1633, 662 → 1634, 1126 → 33771, 1171 → 33774, 2153 → 11142, 2154 → 11141, 3445 → 33804, 5374 → 159, 6727 → 23846, 6733 → 23845, 14085 → 101, 14086 → 30715, 14089 → 99, 14090 → 33704, 18297 → 23849, 18753 → 2176, 20034 → 25
Group Preamble — Tripolar Centroids 1635-1651
Suppose P, Q, R are collinear points not on the line at infinity. Let M = midpoint{Q, R}. The segment PM has two trisectors. The trisector closer to M here defines the centroid of {P, Q, R}.
Suppose X =\(x : y : z\) (trilinears) is a point other than X2, and define the tripolar centroid of X as the point TG(X) given by
TG(X) = x(by - cz)(by + cz - 2ax) : y(cz - ax)(cz + ax - 2by) : z(ax - by)(ax + by - 2cz).
TG(X) is the centroid of the points BC∩B'C', CA∩C'A', AB∩A'B', where A'B'C' denotes the cevian triangle of X. The notions of centroid and tripolar centroid were contributed by Darij Grinberg, August 24, 2003.
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that TG(Xi) = Xj:
