Guide to Preambles in ETC¶
Prepared by Clark Kimberling (August 2026)
This Guide catalogs the inter-center group preambles across all 37 Parts of the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers (ETC), providing a searchable index of thematic center families, geometric transformations, contributors, and definitions.
Part 1¶
-
Among these, X527-X545 are of the form “direction of vector AX+BY+CX for selected triangle centers X. Points X546-X551 are midpoints.

contributed by Bernard Gibert, March 2, 2001. Trilinears for points in this section were found by Joe Goggins, Oct. 19, 2005.
Part 2¶
X1166–X1208 — Saragossa points (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
contributed by Darij Grinberg
-
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 gave barycentrics for the perspector, called the TCC-perspector of P. For further properties of TCC perpsectors, published some 14 years after their introduction here, see I. Minevich and P. Morton, International Journal of Geometry 2017, “Synthetic foundations of cevian geometry, IV”
X1635–X1651 — Tripolar Centroids
contributed by Darij Grinberg, August 24, 2003.
X1662–X1706 — Circle-related points
contributed by Peter Moses during August, 2003.
X1707–X1788 — Mimosa transforms and inverse Mimosa tranforms
contributed by Clark Kimberling, September 16, 2003. Let g(P,X) denote the P-gimel conjugate of X. The Mimosa transform M(X) arises in connection with the equation \(g(P,X) = X\).
X1824–X1907 — Zozma transforms
(isogonal conjugates of inverse Mimosa transforms)
X1908–X1982 — Centers from bicentric pairs
Suppose P and U are a bicentric pair. Many operations on P and U result in triangle centers. Among these are trilinear and barycentric product, bicentric sum, bicentric difference, crosssum, and crossdifference.
X1992–X2006 — Orthocorrespondents
Suppose that P is a point in the plane of triangle ABC. The perpendiculars through P to the lines AP, BP, CP meet the lines BC, CA, AB, respectively, in collinear points. Let L denote their line. The trilinear pole of L is the orthocorrespondent of :g:`P <P*>`. This definition was introduced by Bernard Gibert.
X2041–X2046 — Euler-Vecten-Gibert Points
On August 13, 2003, Bernard Gibert contributed six centers that lie on the Euler line and are related to the Vecten points.
X2070–X2080 — Inverses in circumcircle
contributed by Peter Moses.
X2081–X2088 — PK and NK Transforms
contributed by Bernard Gibert, October 1, 2003. Let \(X ^{-1}\) denote the isogonal conjugate of X. Then PK(X) is the point of intersection of the trilinear polar of X and the trilinear polar of \(X ^{-1}\), and NK(P) is the pole of the line \(XX^{-1}\) with respect to the conic that passes through points A, B, C, X, and \(X ^{-1}\). Also, PK(X) is the crossdifference, and NK(X) the crosssum, of X and \(X ^{-1}\).

contributed by Peter Moses.
X2106–X2119 — points on the 2nd equal-areas cubic, EAC2
For any point P on EAC2, the X2-isoconjugate of P is also on EAC2. Contributed by Clark Kimberling.
X2120–X2143 — Eigencenters and eigentransforms
Contributed by Clark Kimberling, October, 2003.
X2365–X2384 — More points on the circumcircle
October 20, 2003, revised January 20, 2015 following suggestions by Viktor Kataysky. Notations: CIR(U)
X2394–X2419 — Gibert-Simson Transforms
On October 19, 2003, Bernard Gibert contributed points that lie on the Simson cubic. Indeed, this cubic is the image of the circumcircle under a mapping here named the Gibert-Simson transform.
X2446–X2573 — (Mostly) circle-related points
contributed by Peter J. C. Moses, October-November, 2003. See the notes just before X1662 for an introduction and notation. Included in this section are centers of similitude of several pairs of circles.
X2855–X2868 — Simson-Moses points
defined by changing “isogonal” to “isotomic” in the definition of Simson-Ribgy points (X2687-X2770.
X2883–X2962 — Isogonal Conjugates with respect to Special Triangles
(e.g,, medial, orthic, excentral, tangential). The term “complementary conjugate” already in use at the time of this writing (November 11, 2004) is a synonym for “medial isogonal conjugate”, as is “anticomplementary conjugate” for “anticomplementary isogonal conjugate”; accordingly, the earlier terms will be used in the sequel. Also, “excentral isogonal conjugate” is “X188-aleph conjugate” and “orthic isogonal conjugate” is “X4-Ceva conjugate”; in these cases, the new terminology will be used.
X2967–X2973 — Points lying on the MacBeath inconic
contributed by Peter Moses, November 12, 2004,
X2979–X2998 — Dual triangles: DC points and CD points
contributed by Clark Kimberling. Suppose DEF is a triangle in the plane of triangle ABC. Let D' be the isogonal conjugate of the point of intersection of line EF and the line at infinity. Define E' and F' cyclically. The triangle D'E'F' is here named the dual of DEF. The vertices of D'E'F' lie on the circumcircle, and D'E'F' is similar to DEF. The duality is between the sidelines EF, FD, DE and the points D', E', F', respectively. For example, if E and F remain fixed and D varies, then D' remains fixed, while E'F' varies. Actually D'E'F' is the dual of any triangle homothetic to DEF. Indeed, DEF need not be a triangle but can be the union of three concurrent lines. Suppose U is a point having cevian triangle DEF and dual triangle D'E'F'. Then there exists a point DC(U) whose circum-anticevian triangle (TCCT, p. 201) is D'E'F'. To construct DC(U) from U, let A' = AD'∩BC, and let A″ be the {B,C}-harmonic conjugate of A'. Define B″ and C″ cyclically. The lines AA″, BB″, CC″ concur in DC(U). Also, DC(U) = U-isoconjugate of the crosssum of U and X6.
Part 3¶
X3027–X3028 — Antipodal Pairs on Circles
In response to Stevanovic’s findings (X3000 to X3006), Peter Moses noted (Hyacinthos, 12/9/2004) a method for mapping a pair of antipodal points on one circle to an antipodal pair on another circle. The method depends on centers of similitude: Suppose O1 and O2 are circles, that P is on O1 and that P' is the antipode of P on O1. Let U be the internal center of similitude (insimilicenter) of O1 and O2, and V the exsimilicenter. Define Q = PU ∩P' V and Q' = PV ∩P' U. Then on O2, point Q' is the antipode of Q. Moreover, the lines PP' and QQ' are parallel.
-
represent points introduced by Quang Tuan Bui in Hyacinthos, August 5, 2006. Suppose X is a point not on a sideline of ABC. Let
gX = isogonal conjugate of XtX = isotomic conjugate of XtgX = isotomic conjugate of gXgtX = isogonal conjugate of tXGt = intersection of lines X(tX) and (gX)(gtX)Tg = intersection of lines X(gX) and (tX)(tgX)Then the points A, B, C, gX, tX, Tg, Gt are on a conic. As a circumconic, it is the image under the isogonal conjugate mapping of line X(gtX). It is also the image under the isotomic conjugate mapping of line X(tgX).
X3119–X3126 — Danneels Perspectors
Suppose A1B1C1 is the cevian triangle of a point X. Let LAB be the line through B parallel to A1B1, and let LAC be the line through C parallel to A1C1.Let A2 = LAB∩LAC, and define B2 and C2 cyclically. LetA3 = BB2∩CC2, B3 = CC2∩AA2, C3 = AA2∩BB2.
Eric Danneels proves in “A Simple Perspectivity,” :cite:`Forum Geometricorum <forum-geometricorum>` 6 (2006) 199-203, that the triangles A3B3C3 and ABC are perspective. If X =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics), then the Danneels perspector P(X) is given by
P(X) = x(y - z)2 : y(z - x)2 : z(x - y)2.
X3272–X3283 — are associated with six equilateral triangles
related to the (1st) Morley triangle; trilinears for vertices of these triangles are given just below. Received from Milorad R. Stevanovic, November 24, 2007 and December 25, 2007.
X3310 — Barycentric Products of Perpendicular Directions
Suppose P and U are points on the line at infinity, given in barycentric coordinates by P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\). We call P and U perpendicular directions if for every point X not in the line at infinity, the lines XP and XU are perpendicular. (It is well known that if P and U are an antipodal pair on the circumcircle, then their isogonal conjugates are perpendicular directions.)
X3318–X3328 — Incircle transforms
Suppose that U =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears) is a point other than the symmedian point, X6. The incircle transform of :g:`U <U*>` is the point T(U) = a (a - b + c) (a + b - c) (c v - b w)^2 : : , which lies on the incircle. Geometrically, T(U) is the Brisse transform of the psi transform of X6 and U. (Brisse transform is described just before X1254, and psi transform, also called the “Psi mapping” elsewhere in ETC, and TCCT, p. 80, is defined in the preamble just before X98.
X3415–X3446 — Vertex conjugates
Suppose that U =\(u : v : w\) and X =\(x : y : z\) (trilinears) are points not on a sideline of ABC. Let \(f(a,b,c) = a/[a^{2}vwyz - ux(bw + cv)(bz + cy)]\). The U-vertex conjugate of X is the point \(f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\). For a geometric interpretation, let T be the vertex triangle of the circumcevian triangles, AUBUCU and AXBXCX, of U and X; viz., the sidelines of T are AUAX, BUBX, CUCX. Then T is perspective to ABC, and the perspector is the U-vertex conjugate of X.
X3616–X3637 — Homothetic centers
Suppose that X is a triangle center, that M is the medial triangle, and that t is a real number. The t-dilation of M from X, denoted by H(X; M, t), is a triangle center. If X =\(x : y : z\) (trilinears), then
H(X; M, t) = bc[(1 + t)ax + (1 - t)by + (1 - t)cz] : ca[(1 - t)ax + (1 + t)by + (1 - t)cz] : ab[(1 - t)ax + (1 - t)by + (1 + t)cz],
with inverse given by
\(H^{-1}(X; M, t)\) = bc[(1 - t)(by + cz) - 2ax] : ca[(1 - t)(cz + ax) - 2by : ab[(1 - t)(ax + by) - 2cz].
César E. Lozada contributed several such triangle centers (March 21, 2011).
X3647–X3652 — Kirikami-Schiffler Points
Suppose that X is a point and A'B'C' is a central triangle. Let LA be the line through A' parallel to the Euler line of triangle BCX, let LB be the line through B' parallel to the Euler line of CXA, and let LC be the line through C' parallel to the Euler line of AXB.
It is well known that if X=X1, the incenter, then the three aforementioned Euler lines concur in the Schiffler point, X21. If their parallels, the lines LA, LB, LC concur, the point of concurrence is the Kirikami-Schiffler point of the triangle A'B'C', denoted by KS(A'B'C'). Seiichi Kirikami (February 1, 2011) found that those lines concur if A'B'C' is the reference triangle ABC and also concur if A'B'C' is the medial triangle. Peter Moses found additional cases and properties..
X3663–X3861 — Central Triangles and More Combos
Many triangle centers can be defined (as just above) by the form Xcom(nT), where T denotes a central triangle. In order to present such centers, it is helpful to introduce the notation T(f(a,b,c), g(b,c,a)) for central triangles. (This lengthly preamble was completed December 23, 2011.)
X3739–X3757 — More Combos. Continuing the discussion of points Xcom(T)
suppose that T is an arbitrary triangle, and let nT denote the normalization of T. Let NT denote the set of these triangles, as matrices, and let * denote matrix multiplication. Then NT is closed under *. Also, NT is closed under matrix inversion. Consequently, (NT, *) is a group, comparable to the group of stochastic matrices. Suppose that T1 and T2 are triangles. In many cases, the product T1*T2 is well-defined (e.g., TCCT, page 175). However, n(T1*T2) may not be n(T1)*n(T2) if T1 and T2 are not normalized. Therefore, it is important, when dealing with products, to include the “n” if it is intended.
X3862–X4162 — Inverse Triangles and More Combos
The Euler triangle and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Euler triangles are discussed in the preamble to X3758, along with eight other central triangles using the notation T(f(a,b,c), g(b,c,a)). Recall that the inverse of a normalized central triangle T, denoted by Inverse(nT) or Inverse(n(T)), is also a normalized central triangle. Barycentrics for the inverse of each of the 13 triangles and properties of these triangles were given (Peter Moses, December 2011).
X4183–X4250 — Points on the Euler line
X4251–X4291 — Points on the Brocard Axis
X4292–X4356 — Points on the Soddy Line
X4357–X4548 — More Central Triangles and Combos
X5000–X5001 — Walsmith Points
Early in 2012, Russell Walsmith introduced this point and conjectured that it lies on the Euler line. Peter Moses found barycentrics for the point and its inverse-in-the-circumcircle, X5001, and proved that the two points lie on the Euler line.
Part 4¶
X5376–X5389 — Points on the Hutson-Moses hyperbola
The Hutson-Moses hyperbola, introduced at X5375, is given by the following barycentric equation:
a(a - b)(a - c)yz + b(b - c)(b - a)zx + c(c - a)(c - b)xy = 0.
This hyperbola has perspector X100, center X5375, meets the circumcircle in X898 and the Steiner circumellipse in X666, and is the isogonal conjugate of the line X244X665. If X =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics) is a point on the circumcircle, then the point \(H(X) = x/(a(b - c))\): y/(b(c - a)) : z/(c(a - b)) is on the Hutson-Moses hyperbola.
X6000–X6031 — Isogonal Conjugates With Respect To Various Triangles
X6056–X6069 — Lozada Perspectors
Suppose that A'B'C' be the cevian triangle of a point P. Let L be the line through A' tangent to the incircle, and let A* be the touchpoint; define B* and C* cyclically. Then A*B*C* is perspective to ABC for all P. (César Lozada, May 7, 2014, Anopolis #1466)
If P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears), then the perspector is P* = a(b + c - a)\(p^{2}\) : b(a + c - b)\(q^{2}\) : c(a + b - c)\(r^{2}\).
X6070–X6083 — Points Associated with the Steiner Deltoid
Suppose that ABC is a triangle. Its Steiner deltoid, SD, is the envelope of the Simson lines of ABC. Peter Moses (September 14, 2014) defined a mapping from (O) to SD; the mapping is here denoted by M and named the Moses-Steiner image.
X6103–X6111 — the Dao-Moses-Telv Circle and Associated Points
The Dao-Moses-Telv circle is defined as the circle passing through these six points:
F1 = X13, the 1st Fermat pointF2 = X14, the 2nd Fermat pointF3 = inverse of F1 in the circumcircleF4 = inverse of F2 in the circumcircleF5 = inverse of F1 in the nine-point circleF6 = inverse of F2 in the nine-point circleDao Thanh Oai noted that these points are concyclic, Telv Cohl gave a proof, and Peter Moses discovered properties described in this preamble. The center of the Dao-Moses-Telv circle is X1637. (Francisco Javier García Capitán, November 3, 2014)
The Dao-Moses-Telv circle is orthogonal to the circumcircle, the nine-point circle, and all the other circles in their coaxal family. The circle passes through X5000 and X5001, these being the Walsmith point and its inverse in the circumcircle. (Peter Moses, November 6, 2014)
X6112–X6128 — Moses Radical Circle and Associated Points
Summarizing notes from Peter Moses (November 7, 2014), the circle here named the Moses radical circle, MRC, is defined as the radical circle of the circumcircle, nine-point circle, and Brocard circle. The center of MRC is X647, and, like the Dao-Moses-Telv circle (see X6103, MRC passes through X5000 and X5001.
X6129–X6136 — Centers of Circles Orthogonal to the Coaxal System of the Circumcircle and Nine-Point Circle
Continuing Peter Moses’s discussion in the preamble to X6112-X)6128), suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) is a point other than the circumcenter. Let U(P) be the circle that passes through P and its circumcircle-inverse and is orthogonal to the coaxal system of the circumcircle and nine-point circle. Then X5000 and X5001 lie on U
X6137–X6140 — Centers of Circles Orthogonal to the Coaxal System of the Circumcircle and Brocard Circle
Continuing Peter Moses’s discussion in the preambles to X6112 and X6129, suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) is a point other than the circumcenter. Let V(P) be the circle that passes through P and its circumcircle-inverse and is orthogonal to the Schoute coaxal system; that is, the coaxal system of the circumcircle and Brocard circle. Then X15 and X16 lie on V, and the center of V is the point M(V) =\(f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\) given by …
X6337–X6661 — and X6600-XX(6661), Symbolic Substitution
contributed by Clark Kimberling, August 8, 2026. The notation “SS(a → \(S_{A})\)” denotes barycentric symbolic substitution, similar to trilinear symbolic substitution defined at X3221. Symbolic substitution carries lines to lines, conics to conics, and cubics to cubics. For example, since X1, X2, X3, X4, X6, X9, X57, X1073, X1249 lie on the Thomson cubic, their images under SS(a →\(S_{A})\) lie on the cubic given by
\(x(S^{2}_{C}\)\(y^{2}\) - \(S^{2}_{B}\)\(z^{2})\) + \(y(S^{2}_{A}\)\(z^{2}\) - \(S^{2}_{C}\)\(x^{2})\) + \(z(S^{2}_{A}\)\(x^{2}\) - \(S^{2}_{A}\)\(y^{2})\) = 0.
The subject of symbolic substitution was introduced in C. Kimberling, “Symbolic substitutions in the transfigured plane of a triangle,” Aequationes Mathematicae 73 (2007) 156-171.
X6395–X6502 — Centers associated with Lucas triangles and Lucas circles
contributed by Randy Hutson, February 3, 2015
X6570–X6577 — Circumeigencenters (CET)
The eigencenter of a triangle is defined in the Glossary and in TCCT, p. 192. In case the triangle is the circumcevian triangle of a point U =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears), the eigencenter is given by [formula]. This point is here named the circum-eigentransform of U, denoted by CET(U). The point CET(U) lies on the circumcircle. Pairs (i,j) such that CET(Xi) = Xj include the following [list].:
X6666–X6723 — Centroids of Quadrilaterals
Suppose that X is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. The centroid, G,′ of {A, B, C,X} is the complement of the complement of X, hence also the midpoint of X and the complement of X, as well as the Kosnita(X,X2) point. If X =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics), then G' = 2x + y + z : x +\(2y : z : x\) + y + 2z. Randy Hutson, February 24, 2015, noted that properties described at X6600 and X6601 hold generally, as follows. Let G″ be the complement of X, and let KaKbKc be the anticevian triangle of G″. The reflection of the cevian triangle of X in G' is perspective to ABC, and the perspector is the anticomplement of the centroid of {Ka,Kb,Kc,G″}. This perspector is also the isogonal conjugate of the TCC-perspector of the isogonal conjugate of G″. (The TCC-perspector of a point is defined in the preamble to X1601.)
X6724–X6796 — Homologous images
, contributed by Randy Hutson, March 15, 2015. The term “homologous” means “having the same relation or relative position to”. Let T1 and T2 be two triangles, and P a point in the plane of triangle T1. The point P' in the plane of triangle T2 is a T1-to-T2 homologous image of P if P' has the same relation or relative position to T2 as P has to T1. If T1 and T2 are similar triangles, this meaning is unambiguous, and we call P' the T1-to-T2 similarity image of P. If, however, T1 and T2 are not similar, the term “homologous images” can apply to several kinds of mappings. We present three such mappings here.>
Trilinear image:
Let P be a point with trilinears \(x : y : z\) wrt T1. Then the T1-to-T2 trilinear image of P is the point P' with trilinears \(x : y : z\) wrt T2. This is a non-affine collineation, preserving collinearities, but not ratios of distances between collinear points. Parallel lines do not remain parallel under this mapping, so that points on the line at infinity map to finite points. Circumconics of T1 map to circumconics of T2 and inconics of T1 map to inconics of T2.
Barycentric image:
Let P be a point with barycentrics \(x : y : z\) wrt T1. Then the T1-to-T2 barycentric image of P is the point P' with barycentrics \(x : y : z\) wrt T2. This is an affine collineation, preserving collinearities as well as ratios of distances between collinear points. Parallel lines remain parallel under this mapping, so that the line at infinity maps to itself. Conics map to conics of the same type (ellipses, including circles, map to ellipses, parabolas to parabolas, hyperbolas to hyperbolas). Circumconics of T1 map to circumconics of T2 and inconics of T1 map to inconics of T2.
Functional image:
Let the sidelengths of T1 be denoted \(a_{1}\), \(b_{1}\), \(c_{1}\) and the sidelengths of T2 be denoted \(a_{2}\), \(b_{2}\), \(c_{2}\). Let P be a point with coordinates \(f(a_{1},b_{1},c_{1}) : g(b_{1},c_{1},a_{1}) : h(c_{1},a_{1},b_{1})\) with respect to T1, where f, g, h either have the same degree of homogeneity, or else one is the zero function and the other two have the same degree of homogeneity. (If P is a center of T1, then f = g = h.) Then the T1-to-T2-functional image of P is the point P' with coordinates \(f(a_{2},b_{2},c_{2}) : g(b_{2},c_{2},a_{2}) : h(c_{2},a_{2},b_{2})\) with respect to T2. Coordinates here can be trilinears or barycentrics, as long as the same system is used for T1 and T2. P' serves the same ‘function’ wrt T2 (e.g., centroid, circumcenter, 1st Brocard point, A-vertex of orthic triangle, etc.) as P serves wrt T1. For example, the orthic-to-excentral functional image of X5 = X40, since X5 and X40 are the respective circumcenters of the orthic and excentral triangles. This is a non-affine collineation, preserving collinearities, but not ratios of distances between collinear points (except where these distance ratios define the point, such as midpoints, reflections, etc.). Parallel lines remain parallel under this mapping, so that the line at infinity maps to itself. Circles map to circles. Other conics map to conics, but not necessarily of the same type (e.g., the MacBeath circumconic of T1 may be an ellipse, but maps to the MacBeath circumconic of T2, which may be a hyperbola.) Circumconics of T1 map to circumconics of T2 and inconics of T1 map to inconics of T2.
Part 5¶
X7001–X7373 — Centers associated with extra-triangles
contributed by Richard Hilton, March 19, 2015. Suppose that f(a,b,c) is a polynomial and that a triangle center X has barycentric coordinates \(f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\). Then the A-extraversion of X is obtained by replacing a by -a in all three of its barycentric coordinates. Likewise, the B-extraversion is obtained by the substitution b → -b, and the C-extraversion by c → -c. The three extraversions are the vertices of a central triangle which we shall call the extra-triangle of X. In the notation introduced in the preamble to X3758, the extra-triangle of X is T(f(-a,b,c), f(b,c,-a)). For centers that have no such polynomial representation, the three extraversions are defined “by construction” [details omitted here]. The focus in this section is on centers for which the extra-triangle is perspective with ABC.
X7584–X7588 — Endo-homothetic centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, April 22-27, 2015. Suppose that U and V are a pair of homothetic triangles. There is a well-known point, X, called the homothetic center of U and V. For example, the homothetic center of the 1st circumperp and 2nd extouch triangles is X = X7580. Now, we can “view” X from ABC as X7580, or we can “view” X from U, in which case X is X1993-of-U, and by homothety, X is also X1993-of-V. In general, if X = X'-of-U (or equivalently, X = X'-of-V), then the point X' (as a function of the reference triangle ABC) is introduced here as the endo-homothetic center of U and V.
X7597–X7602 — Touchpoints of pairs of circles
Tran Quang Hung found that the incircle of the hexyl triangle is tangent to the circumcircle of ABC. The point of tangency, or touchpoint, is X7597. Let S be the set of incircles, circumcircles, and nine-point circles of 60 central triangles listed in MathWorld. César Lozada checked pairs of circles in S for tangency and found several new points, X7598-X7602. He notes (May 10, 2015) that these six points together with points already in ETC account for all touchpoints of pairs of circles in S.
X7693–X7709 — Similar triangles and centers of similitude
contributed by César Lozada and Randy Hutson, June 8, 2017. If two similar figures lie in the plane but do not have parallel sides (i.e., they are similar but not homothetic), there exists a center of similitude, also called a self-homologous point, which occupies the same homologous position with respect to the two figures (Johnson 1929, p. 16). See Similitude Center at MathWorld. Algebraically, the center of similitude of two similar triangles U and V is the invariant triangle center under the affine transformation that maps U into V. If U and V are homothetic then their center of similitude coincides with their homothetic center.
X7713 — Hatzipolakis-Lozada Homothetic Centers
Antreas Hatzipolakis posed the following construction and related questions (June 10, 2015). Let HaHbHc be the orthic triangle of a triangle ABC and H = X4. Let AB be the orthogonal projection of Ha on line HHb, and define Bc and Ca cyclically. Let AC be the orthogonal projection of Ha on line HHc, and define BA and CB cyclically. Let P be a point (in the usual sense of a function defined on a subset of the set of points in the plane of an abstract triangle with variable side-lengths a,b,c). Let PA = P-of-HaABAC, PB = P-of-HbBCBA, PC = P-of-HcCACB. Let PAB be the reflection of PA in line HHb, and define PBC and PCA cyclically. Let PAC be the reflection of PA in line HHc, and define PBC and PCA cyclically. Let MA be the midpoint of PAB and PAC, and define MB and MC cyclically. Then MAMBMC is homothetic to ABC, and the Euler line of MAMBMC is parallel to the Euler line of ABC.
César Lozada (June 10, 2015) found that if P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears), then the homothetic center of MAMBMC and ABC is the point given by
HL(P) = [(\(a^{2}\) + \(b^{2}\) + \(c^{2})\)p + 2abq + 2acr]/((\(a^{2}\) - \(b^{2}\) - \(c^{2})\) : : = (\(S_{\omega }\)p + abq + acr)/\(S_{A}\) : :
If P is on the infinity line, then HL(P) = P, and if P lies on the Euler line of ABC, then Euler-line-of-MAMBMC = Euler-line-of-ABC.
X7720–X7733 — Centers related to the orthocentroidal triangle
César Lozada (June 18, 2015) finds perspectors, orthologic centers, and parallelogic centers associated with the orthocentroidal triangle. This triangle is defined at X5476 as follows. Let A' be the intersection, other than X4, of the A-altitude and the orthocentroidal circle, and define B' and C' cyclically. The orthocentroidal triangle, A'B'C', is inversely similar to ABC, with center X6 of similitude.

contributed by Peter Moses, October 17, 2015. In TCCT, pp. 187-188, it is noted that if ABC is a triangle and P is a point not on a sideline of ABC, then the pedal triangle of P is homothetic to the antipedal triangle of the isogonal conjugate, P', of P, and also that the product of the areas of the two triangles is the square of the area of ABC. Moreover, the vertices of the pedal triangles of P and P' are concyclic, and the center of the circle is the midpoint of P and P'. The following table shows examples of P, P', and their midpoint.

Let P be a point in the plane of ABC and not on the lines BC, CA, AB. Let AB the the point of intersection of the circle {{P,B,C}} and the line AB. Define AC symmetrically, and define BC, BA, CA, CB cyclically. These six points of intersection are on a circle if and only if P = X6. This circle is here named the Ehrmann circle. The circles {{X6,B,C}}, {{X6,C,A}}, {{X6,A,B,}} are the A-Ehrmann circle, B-Ehrmann circle, C-Ehrmann circle, respectively.
X8551–X8579 — Coefficient Points of Circles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 15, 2015. Every circle has a trilinear equation of the following form:
(Lα + Mβ + Nγ)⋅(aα + bβ + cγ) + K⋅(aβγ + bγα + cαβ) = 0 (1)
and conversely, if K ≠ 0 then the equation (1) represents a circle.
A circle Λ is a central circle if \(L : M : N\) is a triangle center and K is a homogeneous symmetric function of (a,b,c); see TCCT, pp 219-226 and CircleFunction at MathWorld). In such a case,\(L : M : N\) is called the coefficient point of the circle Λ. (The coefficients L, M, N, K are homogeneous in a,b,c, so that \(L : M : N\) is unambiguously defined. In other words, there is no loss in assuming that K = 1 in equation (1).)

Define (OB,\(r_{B})\) and (OC,\(r_{C})\) cyclically. The triangle T(X) = OAOBOC is here named the orthocevian triangle of X.

a^2 (a^2 b^2 c^2 u v - b^2 c^4 u v + a^4 c^2 v^2 - a^2 c^4 v^2 + a^2 b^2 c^2 u w - b^4 c^2 u w - 3 a^2 b^2 c^2 v w + a^4 b^2 w^2 - a^2 b^4 w^2) : :
A related point is the circumtangential-isogonal conjugate of U, defined by
a^2 (a^2 c^2 u v - c^4 u v + a^2 c^2 v^2 - c^4 v^2 + a^2 b^2 u w - b^4 u w + a^4 v w - a^2 b^2 v w - a^2 c^2 v w - 2 b^2 c^2 v w + a^2 b^2 w^2 - b^4 w^2) : :
If U is on the circumcircle, then its Gibert circumtangential conjugate, denoted by M1(U), is on the Lemoine axis, X187X237, and the circumtangential-isogonal conjugate, denoted by M2(U), is on the line at infinity, X30X511. Thus, if U is on X187X237, then M1(U) is on the circumcircle, and if U is on X30X511, then M2(U) is on the circumcircle. For a selection of circumtangential-isogonal conjugates, see X8666-X8714.

If U is on the circumcircle, then M2(U), is on the line at infinity, X30X511, so that if U is on X30X511, then M2(U) is on the circumcircle. Related conjugates are M1(U) defined in the preamble to X8616 and the circumnormal-isogonal conjugate M3(U) defined in the preamble to X8715.

M., Annals of Mathematics, Second Series, Vol. 16, No. 1/4 (1914 - 1915), pp. 38-42.
Let P be a point in the plane Π of ABC and let ϒA = ACA'BA'CAB be a square inscribed in the quadrilateral ABPC, with AC on line AB, A'B on BP, A'C on PC, and AB on CA. It is easy to prove, using homogeneous coordinates, that ϒA is unique if P does not lie on the conic κA given by the trilinear equation
\(Sa^{2}\)\(u^{2}\) + \(bc(a^{2}\) + S)vw + \(ca(b^{2}\) + S)wu + \(ab(c^{2}\) + S)uv = 0
Note that B and C lie on κA. Define κB and κC cyclically. If
P ∈ Π - κA∪κB∪κC (1),
then there exist unique squares ϒA, ϒB, ϒC inscribed in the quadrilaterals ABPC, BCPA, CAPB, respectively. If P =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears) satisfies (1), then the vertices of ϒA are as shown here:

It is well known that the trilinear pole of the line PU, given by barycentrics 1/(rv - qw) : 1/(pw - ru) : 1/(qu - sv) , lies on the circumconic with perspector P and on the circumconic with perspector U (e.g., the trilinear pole of X2U is the point 1/(v - w) : 1/(w - u) : 1/(u - v), on the Steiner circumellpse. If P lies on the circumcircle, then P is the trilinear pole of the line X6Q, where Q = crossdifference of X6 and the isogonal conjugate of P; e.g., X99 = trilinear pole of X6X524, where X524 = crossdifference of X6 and X512.

The triangle A1B1C1, here named the 1st Parry triangle, is similar to ABC and orthogonal to ABC, with similitude center X110. Let A2 be the intersection, other than X110, of the Parry circle and line AX110, and define B2 and C2 cyclically. The triangle A2B2C2, here named the 2nd Parry triangle, is similar to ABC and orthogonal to ABC, with similitude center X111. On the Parry circle, A1B1C1 and A2B2C2 are antipodes. The Euler line of A1B1C1 is the Euler line of A2B2C2, and the Brocard axis of A1B1C1 is the Brocard axis of A2B2C2. The Brocard axis of A1B1C1, and also of A2B2C2, is the Lemoine axis of ABC.
Let A3 be the intersection, other than X2, of the Parry circle and the A-median, and define B3 and C3 cyclically. The triangle A3B3C3, here named the 3rd Parry triangle, is similar to the 4th Brocard triangle, with similitude center the intersection, other than X2, of the Parry circle and the orthocentroidal circle. Also, A3B3C3 is the reflection of the circumsymmedial triangle of A2B2C2 in the common Brocard axis of A1B1C1 (which is also the Brocard axis of A2B2C2 and A3B3C3). The triangles A2B2C2 and A3B3C3 are perspective at X647. Let A'B'C' be the reflection of the circumsymmedial triangle in the Brocard axis. Then A3B3C3 is similar to A'B'C', with similitude center X111.

Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics) are distinct points on the line L at infinity; that is, p + q + r = 0 and u + v + w = 0. As in the definition of orthopoint (copied below from Glossary), P may be regarded as a “direction” in the plane of the reference triangle ABC, and all the (parallel) lines in this direction meet in P, and likewise for U. Let L(P) be any line that meets L in P, and let L(U) be any line that meets L in U. Let W1 and W2 be the angle bisectors of the angles between L(P) and L(U) at L(P)∩L(U). The midpoints of P and U are here defined as W1∩L and W2∩L. Since L(P) and L(U) are perpendicular lines, the two midpoints are a pair of orthopoints, defined in the Glossary of ETC.

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, February 27, 2016. The appearance of (Φ2, i, j) in the following lists means that the insimilcenter and the exsimilcenter of the circles Φ1 and Φ2 are Xi and Xj, respectively. (Followed by lists.)
X9718–X9721 — Centers related to Dou circle
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, March 10, 2016. The Dou circle is defined in MathWorld as the circle cutting the sidelines of the reference triangle ABC at A', A″, B', B″, C', C″ so that angle(A'AA″) = angle(B'BB″) = angle(C'CC″) = 90º. The center of the Dou circle is X155.
Let \(f(a,b,c) = (a^{2})[S_{A} (2 R^{2}-S_{A})\) and \(g(a,b,c) = bc(S^{2}+S_{B} S_{C}-2 (S_{B}+S_{C}) R^{2})\). A trilinear equation for the Dou circle is then
f(a,b,c)x^2 + f(b,c,a)y^2 + f(c,a,b)z^2 + g(a,b,c)yz + g(b,c,a)zx + g(c,a,b)xy = 0,
and the radius-squared is (4*R^6-S^2*(5*R^2-SW))/(4*R^2-SW)^2.
Let S = {circumcircle, nine-points-circle, orthocentroidal circle, orthoptic circle of the Steiner inellipse, polar circle (for obtuse ABC), tangential circle, Taylor circle}, and suppose that U and V are in S. The radical circle of {U, V, Dou circle} is here named the Dow radical circle of U and V, denoted by Dou(U,V). The center of Dou(U,V) is X2501, and the radius-squared of Dou(U,V) is the power of X2501 with repect to U and V. Moreover, Dou(U,V) is orthogonal to the Dou circle and every circle in S. The Stevanovic circle is orthogonal to the Apollonius circle, Bevan circle, excircles-radical circle, as well as every circle in S except the Taylor circle. The radical axis of the Stevanovic and each Dou-radical circle is the Euler line, and their radical trace is X468. If ABC is acute then Dou(U,V) passes through X5000 and X5001.
X9742–X9775 — Artzt triangle
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, March 25, 2016. The A-Artzt parabola of a triangle ABC is the parabola tangent at B and C to the sidelines AB and AC, respectively. See William Gallatly, The Modern Geometry of the Triangle, 2nd ed. (London: Hodgson, 1913), p. 42.
The A-Artzt parabola has trilinear equation \(a^{2}\)\(x^{2}\) - 4bcyvz = 0. Its axis is the line \(a(b^{2}\) - \(c^{2})\)x + \(b(a^{2}\) - \(b^{2}\) - \(3c^{2})\)y - (\(a^{2}\) - \(3b^{2}\) - \(c^{2})\)cz = 0, and its directrix is the line (\(a^{2}\) - \(b^{2}\) - \(c^{2})\)ax + \(2bc^{2}\)y + \(2b^{2}\)cz = 0.
The B- and C-Artzt parabolas are defined cyclically. The foci of the three parabolas are the vertices of the 2nd Brocard triangle.
The trilinear poles of the directrices of the Artzt parabolas lie on the cubics K675 and K676.
The triangle A'B'C' bounded by the directrices of the Artzt parabolas is here named the Artzt triangle.
X9776–X9812 — Conway triangle
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, April 2, 2016. Let ABC be a a triangle with opposite sidelengths a,b,c, respectively. Let AB be the point P on line AB such that |BP| = b and B lies between A and P. Define BC and CA cyclically. Likewise, let AC be the point Q on line AC such that |CP| = c and C lies between A and P. Define BA and CB cyclically. It is known that these six points lie on the Conway circle, with center X1 and radius-squared \(r^{2}\) + \(s^{2}\), where r = inradius and s = semiperimeter of ABC.
Let A' = BABC∩CACB, and define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is here named the 2nd Conway triangle of ABC. Let A″B″C″ be the (1st) Conway triangle, introduced at X7411, and let A*B*C* be the intouch triangle; A' = reflection of A″ in A*, and likewise for B' and C', as noted by Peter Moses, April 2, 2016.
area(A'B'C') = 8Rs|B'C'| = sqrt(8*S*R*a/((s-b)*(s-c)))A' = - (a + b + c) : a + b - c : a - b + c (barycentric coordinates)The vertices A', B', C' lie on these cubics: K007 (Lucas cubic), K028, K461, K651.
Another construction of AB and AC follows. Let \(p_{a}\) be the parabola tangent to BC at the A-cevian-trace-of-X75 and also tangent to the sidelines AB and AC. AB and AC are the touchpoints of \(p_{a}\) with AB and AC.
A'B'C' is perspective to ABC with perspector X7; it is also perspective with perspector X8 to these triangle: anticomplementary, Fuhrmann and outer-Garcia.
A'B'C' and Fuhrmann triangles are inversely similar, with X9782 as center of inverse similitude.
X9813–X9837 — Submedial triangle and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, April 15, 2016. Let ABC be a triangle, and suppose that C' is a point on side AB and that B' is a point on side AC. Let r(B'C') be the rectangle whose vertices are B', C', and the orthogonal projections of B' and C' onto side BC. Let \(R_{A}\) be the rectangle r(B'C') of maximal area, which is obtained by taking A'B'C' to be the medial triangle of ABC. Let OA be the center \(R_{A}\), and define OB and OC cyclically. The central triangle OAOBOC is here named the submedial triangle; c.f. the Calabi triangle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabi_triangle).
The A-vertex of OAOBOC is given by
OA = 2*a*b*c : (3*a^2+b^2-c^2)*c : (3*a^2-b^2+c^2)*b (trilinears)
The vertices of the submedial triangle lie on the cubic K281, and
The circumcircle of OAOBOC passes through these points: X6667, X6721, X6722, X6723, and the X5 is the radical center of the circumcircles of the rectangles \(R_{A}\), \(R_{B}\), \(R_{C}\).

X10001–X10014 — Parallels-Conics and related points
contributed by Peter Moses, May 2, 2016. Let A' be the line through a point P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) parallel to line BC. Let AB = A'∩AB and AC = A'∩AC. Define BC and CA cyclically, and define BA and CB cyclically. The six points AB, BC, CA, AB, BC, CA lie on a conic, here called the parallels-conic of P, denoted by Cpar(P). The point P is here called the base-point of Cpar(P). The center of Cpar(P) is the point W(P) given by
W(P) = p*(\(p^{2}\) - pq - pr - 2qr) : q*(\(q^{2}\) - qr - qp - 2rp) : r*(\(r^{2}\) - rp - rq - 2pq)
The perspector of Cpar(P) is the point
W*(P) = p(2qr + 2pq + pr)(2qr + 2pr + pq) : q(2rp + 2qr + qp)(2rp + 2qp + qr) : r(2pq + 2rp + rq)(2pq + 2rq + rp)
Cpar(P) is an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola according as P lies inside, on, or outside the Steiner inellipse.
Let P' be the reflection of P in W(P). Then P' is the base-point of another conic, Cpar(P'), also having center W(P). For example, if P = X1, then P' = X9.
Randy Hutson observes that W(P) is the midpoint of P and P' = X2-Ceva conjugate of P. (July 20, 2016)
If P lies on the orthic axis, then Cpar(P) is a rectangular hyperbola, and the locus of W(P) as P traces the orthic axis a circular cubic.
X10025–X10030 — H-transforms and K-transforms
, contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 13, 2016. Suppose that R =\(r : s : t\) and U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics) are points not on a sideline of a triangle ABC. Let
LA be the line of the points \(0 : t : r\) and \(- v : w : u\)LB be the line of the points \(s : 0 : r\) and \(v : - w : u\)LC be the line of the points \(s : t : 0\) and \(v : w : - u\)L'A be the line of the points \(0 : r : s\) and \(- w : u : v\)L'B be the line of the points \(t : 0 : s\) and \(w : - u : v\)L'C be the line of the points \(t : r : 0\) and \(w : u : - v\)The lines LA, LB, LC concur in a point, P, and the lines L'A, L'B, L'C concur in a point, P'. If R and U are triangle centers, then P and P' are a pair of bicentric points and PP' is a central line f*x + g*y + h*z = 0, so that the point H(R,U) =\(f : g : h\) is a triangle center, here introduced as the H-transform of R and U, given by first barycentric
f = v*w*(u/r + v/s - w/t)(u/r - v/s + w/t) - u^2 (v/s + w/t - u/r)^2 .
Next, let
LA be the line of the points \(0 : t : r\) and \(- w : u : v\)LB be the line of the points \(s : 0 : r\) and \(w : - u : v\)LC be the line of the points \(s : t : 0\) and \(w : u : - v\)L'A be the line of the points \(0 : r : s\) and \(- v : w : u\)L'B be the line of the points \(t : 0 : s\) and \(v : - w : u\)L'C be the line of the points \(t : r : 0\) and \(v : w : - u\)The lines LA, LB, LC concur in a point, P, and the lines L'A, L'B, L'C concur in a point, P'. If R and U are triangle centers, then P and P' are a pair of bicentric points and PP' is a central line f*x + g*y + h*z = 0, so that the point K(R,U) =\(f : g : h\) is a triangle center, here introduced as the K-transform of R and U, given by first barycentric
f = v*w*(u/t + w/s - v/r)(u/s + v/t - w/r) - u^2 (v/r + w/s - u/t)(v/t + w/r - u/s)
Let G = centroid = X2. Then \(H(G,P) = K(G\),P) and \(H(P,G) = K(P\),G) for all P. For fixed X, the locus of a point P satisfying \(H(P,X) = G is the circumconic with center X\). In particular, for X = X125, the locus is the Jerabek hyperbola; for X = X115, the Kiepert hyperbola; and for X = X11, the Feuerbach hyperbola.
If P =\(p : q : r\), then \(H(P,P) = qr - p^{2}\): rp - \(q^{2}\) : pq - \(r^{2}\), which is the Steiner-circumellipse-inverse of P.
X10037–X10094 — Inner- and outer- Yff triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, August 4, 2016. The Yff circles are the two triplets of congruent circles in which each circle is tangent to two sides of a reference triangle (see Mathworld). The circles in each triplet have radius \(r_{1}\)=r*R/(R+r) and \(r_{2}\)=r*R/(R-r), respectively. The centers A1, A2 for the A-circles of the first and second triplets have respective trilinear coordinates:
A1= -(a^4-2*(b^2+b*c+c^2)*a^2+(b^2-c^2)^2)/(2*a^2*b*c) : 1 : 1A2= +(a^4-2*(b^2-b*c+c^2)*a^2+(b^2-c^2)^2)/(2*a^2*b*c) : 1 : 1and cyclically B1, C1 and B2, C2 for the B- and C- circles.
The triangles T1=A1B1C1 and T2=A2B2C2 are known as the inner- and outer- Yff triangles, respectively.
X10097–X10103 — Points associated with Dao circles
contributed by Peter Moses and Clark Kimberling, August 4, 2016, based findings of Dao Thanh Oai. Suppose that P is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, but not on a sideline (BC, CA, AB). Let P' be the isogonal conjugate of P. Let (O) be the circumcircle of ABC, and let C(P) be the conic through A, B, C,P,P'. Let D be the point in (O)∩C(P) other than A, B, C; let E be a point on (O), other than A, B, C,D, and let E' the point in DE∩C(P), other than D. The points P,P',E,E' lie on a circle, here named the Dao circle of P, denoted by D(P). The point E' is here named the 1st (P,E)-Dao point. (Based on “A generalization of the Sawayama-Thébault theorem”, Dao Thanh Oai, July 21, 2016; ADGEOM 3383)
Write P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics). Then C(P) is given by
\(b^{2}\)\(c^{2}\)\(p^{2}\)x(y - z) + \(c^{2}\)\(a^{2}\)\(q^{2}\)y(z - x) + \(a^{2}\)\(b^{2}\)\(r^{2}\)z(x - y) = 0.
The perspector of C(P) is
\(a^{2}\)\(p(b^{2}\)\(r^{2}\) - \(c^{2}\)\(q^{2})\) : \(b^{2}\)\(q(c^{2}\)\(p^{2}\) - \(a^{2}\)\(r^{2})\) : \(c^{2}\)\(r(a^{2}\)\(q^{2}\) - \(b^{2}\)\(p^{2})\).
The circle D(P) meets (O) in another point, the 2nd (P,E)-Dao point, and D(P) meets C(P) in another point, the 3rd (P,E)-Dao point. These points are represented by F and F', respectively, in the following examples.
X10129–X10136 — ATFF points of pairs of triangles

Suppose that A'B'C' and A″B″C″ are distinct triangles in the plane of a triangle ABC. The finite fixed point of the affine transformation that carries A'B'C' onto A″B″C″ is here named accordingly and is denoted by ATFF(A'B'C', A″B″C″).
X10137–X10148 — Hex2T circles

X10153–X10200 — Centroidal conics and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, August 28, 2016. Let ABC be the reference triangle and U, V, W three points, at least two of them distinct, and let
Ga = centroid of AVW, and define Gb and Gc cyclicallyGu = centroid of UBC, and define Gv and Gw cyclically.Then the six centroids lie on a (possibly degenerate) conic, and the triangles GaGbGc and GuGvGw are congruent and homothetic, and their homothetic center is the center of the conic.
The conic is here named the UVW-centroidal conic and also the centroidal conic of UVW. The triangles GaGbGc and GuGvGw are the 1st and 2nd UVW-centroidal triangles and also the1st and 2nd centroidal triangles of UVW.The center O(UVW) of the centroidal-conic-of-UVW is a triangle center if U, V, W are either triangle centers or vertices of a central triangle. Such center is the centroid of the six centroids above specified.
X10237–X10259 — Eulerologic centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 2, 2016. Let T'= A'B'C' and T″ = A″B″C″ be triangles. If the Euler lines of A'B″C″, B'C″A″, C'A″B″ concur, then the triangles T' and T″ are (T′, T″)-eulerologic and the point of concurrence is here named the (T′, T″)-eulerologic center. (Definitions given by Antreas Hatzipolakis in Anopolis 3841).
Note that the existence of the (T',T″)-eulerologic center does not imply the existence of a (T″,T')-eulerologic center.
Clearly, if two triangles have the same circumcircle then they are mutually eulerologic. Examples:(1) The following triangles are inscribed in the circumcircle of ABC, so that each pair are mutually eulerologic: ABC, circummedial, circumorthic, 1st circumperp, 2nd circumperp, circumsymmedial, 3rd mixtilinear, 4th mixtilinear. The eulerologic center of each pair is X3.(2) The following triangles are inscribed in the nine-point circle of ABC, so that each pair are mutually eulerologic: Euler, 2nd Euler, 3rd Euler, 4th Euler, 5th Euler, Feuerbach, medial, orthic. The eulerologic center of each pair is X5.
X10276–X10281 — Feuerbach quadrangle and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 17, 2016. Let FA, FB, FC be the A-, B-, C- Feuerbach points of ABC, respectively (i.e., the touchpoints of the nine-points-circle and the excircles). Let FD=X11 be the Feuerbach point of ABC. The cyclic quadrangle QAF={FA,FB,FC,FD} is here named the Feuerbach quadrangle of ABC. The centroid of QAF is X10276. Properties:
A maltitude (“midpoint altitude”) is a perpendicular drawn to a side of a quadrilateral from the midpoint of the opposite side. In a cyclic quadrilateral the four maltitudes concur at the anticenter. The anticenter of QAF is X10277.
In a cyclic quadrangle the centroids of the component triangles are the vertices of another cyclic quadrangle. For QAF this last quadrangle has centroid coinciding with the centroid of QAF.
(3) The diagonal triangle A*B*C* of QAF has vertices with barycentric coordinates:A* = {FA,FB}∩{FC,FD} = -(SB-SC) : SA-SC : SA-SBB* = {FB,FC}∩{FA,FD} = SB-SC : -(SC-SA) : SB-SAC* = {FC,FA}∩{FB,FD} = SC-SB : SC-SA : -(SA-SB)A*, B*, C* lie all on the cubics K237, K238, K239, K672.A*B*C* has: area=area(ABC)/2, centroid = X10278 , circumcenter = X10279, orthocenter = X5 and nine-point-center=X10280In terms of Chris van Tienhoven’s Encyclopedia of Quadri-Figures (EQF), some centers of QAF are:QA-P1 = Quadrangle centroid = X10276QA-P2 = Euler-Poncelot point = X10277 = common point of the nine-point-circles of the component trianglesThe midray circles of the quadrangle {P1,P2,P3,P4} are the circumcircles of the triangles MijMikMil, for all combinations of (i,j,k,l) in {1,2,3,4}, where Mij = midpoint of {Pi,Pj}.
X10290–X10608 — Points associated with mid-triangles and cross-triangles
contributed by Randy Hutson, October 22, 2016. Let T1 = A1B1C1 and T2 = A2B2C2 be central triangles (or a pair of bicentric triangles) in the plane of a triangle ABC.
Let A' = midpoint of A1 and A2, and define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is here named the mid-triangle of T1 and T2, denoted by MT(T1,T2).Let A″ = B1C2∩C1B2, and B″ and C″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″ is here named the cross-triangle of T1 and T2, denoted by XT(T1,T2).If T1 and T2 are homothetic, then both MT(T1,T2) and XT(T1,T2) are homothetic to T1 and T2.
If T1 and T2 are directly similar, then MT(T1,T2) is also directly similar to T1 and T2, with the same center of similitude.
If any pair in {T1, T2, XT(T1,T2)} are perspective, then every pair in the set are perspective.
If the vertices of T1 and T2 lie on a conic, then XT(T1,T2) is degenerate (consisting of 3 collinear points). If T1 and T2 are also perspective, XT(T1,T2) lies on the polar of the perspector wrt the conic. If T1 and T2 are the cevian triangles of P and Q, resp., then XT(T1,T2) is degenerate and collinear with P and Q.
If the vertices of T2 lie on the respective sidelines of T1 (e.g., A2 lies on B1C1)), then XT(T1,T2) = T1.
For many choices of triangles T1, T2, T3,(perspector of T1 and XT(T2,T3)) = (perspector of T2 and XT(T1,T3)) = (perspector of T3 and XT(T1,T2)).If T1 is the cevian triangle of P and T2 is the anticevian triangle of Q, then XT(T1,T2) is perspective to ABC, and the perspector is collinear with these 3 points: P, P-Ceva conjugate of Q, Q-cross conjugate of P. Also, XT(T1,T2) is perspective to T1 at Q.
If T1 is the circumcevian triangle of P, then XT(ABC,T1) is perspective to the circumcevian triangle of P*, where P* is the circumcircle-inverse of P. The perspector lies on the circumcircle.
The cross-triangle of the cevian and anticevian triangles of P is perspective to ABC at P.
The cross-triangle of the cevian and circumcevian triangles of P is perspective to ABC at gcgP, where g = isogonal conjugate and c = complement.
The (degenerate) cross-triangle of the circumcevian triangles of P and Q is perspective to ABC at Λ(gP, gQ). Also, the centroid of the (degenerate) cross-triangle of the anticevian triangles of P and Q is the tripolar centroid of the cevapoint of P and Q.
If T1 is perspective to ABC at X2, then the perspector of ABC and XT(ABC,T1) is the barycentric product A1*B1*C1.
X10631–X10682 — Tri-equilateral triangles and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 5, 2016. As with the Kenmotu squares, we inscribe in a triangle ABC three congruent equilateral triangles PAbAc, PBcBa and PCaCb, with Ba, Ca on BC, Cb, Ab on CA and Ac, Bc on AB. There are two points P making possible this construction: P = Pi=X15 and P = Po=X16. The equilateral triangles obtained in each case are here named the A-, B-, C- inner/outer equilateral triangles, respectively.
In each case, the points Ba, Ca, Cb, Ab, Ac, Bc are obviously concyclic. Their circles Γi and Γo, here named the inner and outer tri-equilateral circles, are denoted and determined as follows:
Γi: center = X15, radius = 2*R/|\(\sqrt{3}\)+cot(ω)|Γo: center = X16, radius = 2*R/|\(\sqrt{3}\)-cot(ω)|,where R and ω are the circumradius and the Brocard angle of ABC, respectively.

contributed by Randy Hutson, December 8, 2016. The anti-Artzt triangle, A'B'C', is here introduced as the triangle of which ABC is the Artzt triangle. A'B'C' is also the anti-McCay triangle of the 1st Brocard triangle. A'B'C' is perspective to ABC at X598 and homothetic to the Artzt triangle at X2.

For example, there are pairs of much-studied triangles whose composite is simply the reference triangle; e.g., the (2nd circumperp triangle of circumorthic triangle) = ABC; and conversely, (circumorthic triangle of 2nd circumperp) = ABC. Further examples of such pairs include these:

X11615–X11633 — Circles through X111 and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 8, 2017. Sava Grozdev and Deko Dekov found, by using a computer program, 23 circles (21 of them distinct, 18 of them unnamed until now) all passing through the Parry center X111 (See this reference). These circles were verified algebraically and, in the following table, they are described together with their centers. (Followed by a table.)
X11634–X11644 — Clifford(4) centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 9, 2017. Clifford’s theorems, named after the English geometer William Kingdon Clifford, are a sequence of theorems relating to intersections of circles in general position.
1st theorem: Given four circles \(d_{i}\), i=1..4, passing through a common point M, let Pij be the second intersection of \(d_{i}\) and \(d_{j}\). Define the circles d’l={Pij, Pjk, Pki} for l=1..4. Then these last four circles have a common point Q, here denoted as the Clifford(4) center of circles \(d_{i}\).
2nd theorem: Given five circles passing through a common point M, every subset of four of these circles determines a Clifford(4) center Qi (by the first theorem). Then these five points Qi lie on a circle S whose center will be denoted as the Clifford(5) center of the given circles.
3rd theorem: Given six circles passing through a common point M, every subset of five circles determines a circle \(S_{i}\) (by the 2nd theorem). Then these six circles have a common point, denoted here as the Clifford(6) center of the given circles.
The sequence of theorems can be continued indefinitely. (References: Mathworld and Wikipedia).
X11677–X12691 — Inner-Conway triangle and related centers

Construct Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' bounded by the lines AbAc, BcBa, CaCb is here named the inner-Conway triangle of ABC, with A-vertex given by trilinears A' = bc : (c - b)c : (b - c)b. (A'B'C' is also the intouch triangle of the anticomplementary triangle.)
X11752–X11791 — Centers associated with the Przybyłowski-Bollin configuration
contributed by Peter Moses, January 22, 2017. In connection with the Przybyłowski-Bollin configuration described at X11753, there are four remarkable triangles. Two of them stem from X15, and the other two from X16. For X15, the two triangles are denoted by AiBiCi, associated with the incenter, and AaBbCc, associated with the A-excenter. In order to write barycentrics for the A-vertex of each triangle, let
U = Sqrt[2(a^2+b^2+c^2+2 \(\sqrt{3}\) S)] = 2 Sqrt[SW+\(\sqrt{3}\) S]. Then
Ai = a^2 (\(\sqrt{3}\) (-a^2 + b^2 + c^2) + 2 S) : b (\(\sqrt{3}\) b (a^2 - b^2 + c^2) + 2 S (b + U)) : c (\(\sqrt{3}\) c (a^2 + b^2 - c^2) + 2 S (c + U))
Aa = a^2 (\(\sqrt{3}\) (-a^2 + b^2 + c^2) + 2 S) : b (\(\sqrt{3}\) b (a^2 - b^2 + c^2) + 2 S (b - U)) : c (\(\sqrt{3}\) c (a^2 + b^2 - c^2) + 2 S (c - U))
The triangles AiBiCi and AaBbCc are perspective, with perspector X15.
Let Oa = midpoint of Ai and Aa, and define Ob and Oc cyclically. The points Ai, Aa, B, C lie on a circle with center Oa, and the triangle OaObOc is perspective to the excentral triangle with X11752 as perspector.

It has barycentric equation: (b^2-c^2)^2*y*z+(c^2-a^2)^2*z*x+(a^2-b^2)^2*x*y=0 It passes through the vertices of the antipedal triangle of X477 and centers X476, X523, X685, X850, X892, X2395, X2501, X4024, X4036, X4581, X4608, X5466, X8599, X10412 and X12079. Its directrix and the Euler line of ABC are parallel, therefore its axis and the Euler line of ABC are perpendicular. Its 4th intersection with the circumcircles of ABC and A'B'C' is X476 The focus and vertex are X12064 and X12065, respectively. Its axis is the line {523, 5972}, trilinear polar of X12066. Its directrix is the line {30, 10279}, trilinear polar of X12067. The perspector is X115 and the center is X523. The dual conic of the X-parabola has center X620, perspector X4590 and passes through the vertices of the cevian triangle of X4590 and centers X2, X32, X439, X593, X1509, X2482, X3926, X4027, X7058, X7794, X11128, X11129.

X12835–X12841 — Centers associated with the ellipse IE59
contributed by Peter Moses, March 29, 2017. Let IE59 denote the inellipse with perspector X59. The center of IE59 is X13006, and IE59 passes through Xi for these i:
55, 56, 181, 202, 203, 215, 1124, 1335, 1362, 1397, 1672, 1673, 1682, 2007, 2008, 3235, 3236, 3237, 3238, 6056, 7005, 7006, 7066, 10799, 12835, 12836, 12837, 12838, 12839, 12840, 12841
This ellipse IE59 is the locus of the centers of similtude (insimilicenter and exsimilicenter) of the incircle with Tucker circles. Also, IE59 intersects the incircle in X1362 and three other points, so that the corresponding four Tucker circles are tangent to the incircle. The Tucker circle through X1362 has the following parameter:
arccos[(\(t^{2}\) - \(s^{2})\)/(\(t^{2}\) + \(s^{2})\)], where t = r + 4R.
The centers of the other three Tucker circles are the extraversions of X970, and they lie on the Brocard axis. Not only are these circle internally tangent to the incircle, but they are also externally tangent to the two corresponding excircles. In this section, the names for centers X12835 to X12841, the notation “Tucker (X,p)-circle” represents the Tucker circle with center X and parameter p.
Let \(f(a,b,c,x,y,z) = b^{4}c^{4}(a - b - c)^{2}(b - c)^{4}x^{2} - 2a^{4}b^{2}c^{2}(a - b)^{2} (a - b + c)(c - a)^{2}(a + b - c)yz\). The ellipse IE59 is given by the barycentric equation f(a,b,c,x,y,z) + f(b,c,a,y,z,x) + \(f(c,a,b,z,x,y) = 0\).
Possibly the earliest mention of IE59 occurs in TCCT, page 238, in a list of inscribed ellipses; in that list, this ellipse is denoted by W(X11).

Let \(BB_{A}\)CAC, \(CC_{B}\)ABA, \(AA_{C}\)BCB be three rectangles built on the sides of a triangle ABC, such that |BBA|/a = |CCB|/b = |AAC|/c = λ = constant. Assume that λ %gt; 0 means that rectangles are built outwards from ABC and λ < 0 means that rectangles are built inwards from ABC. Nguyen proved that if NA, NB, NC are X5 (i.e., the nine-point-center) of triangles ABACA, BCBAB and CACBC, respectively, then triangles NANBNC and ABC are orthologic.
In addition, it can be proved that if the three nine-point-centers (the N’s) are replaced by any other point P on the Euler line such that (X3P)|/(X3X4) = (OP)/(OH) = t, a constant invariant of (a,b,c), then the triangles PAPBPC and ABC remain orthologic. In this case, the orthologic center PAPBPC to ABC is:X' = (2*a^6 - (b^2+c^2)*(a^4+(b^2-c^2)^2))*(3*t-1)*λ - 2*S*(a^2+b^2-c^2)*(a^2-b^2+c^2) : : (barycentrics)and the orthologic center ABC to PAPBPC:X″ = 1/(((2*a^4 + 2*(b^2+c^2)*a^2 + 4*b^2*c^2 - 4*(b^2+c^2)^2)*t + (a^2+b^2+c^2)*(-a^2+b^2+c^2))*λ + 2*S*(-a^2+b^2+c^2)) : : (barycentrics)The point X' is here named the Nguyen-Euler(λ) point of P, and the point X″, the Nguyen-Euler(λ) adjoint point of P.

If X is a point in the plane of ABC, then it has actual trilinear distances (possibly nonpositive) that are the heights of rectangles as in the above construction. Therefore, starting with X =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics), we have U = kx/\(a^{2}\), where k = S/(x + y + z), and V = ky/\(b^{2}\) and W = kz/\(c^{2}\). Consequently,

X14782–X14806 — Involution and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 10, 2017. “When several pairs of points A, A'; B, B' ; C, C' ; … lying on a straight line are such that their distances from a fixed point O are connected by the relations
OA .OA' = OB.OB' = OC.OC' = … ,
the points are called a range in involution.” (Lachlan, R.: An Elementary Treatise on Modern Pure Geometry. MacMillan & Co., 1893, chapter 5, pp. 37-41).
A range in involution is denoted by {A, A'}, {B, B'}, {C, C'}. The point O, collinear with the given points, is called the center of involution and each pair of corresponding points, as A and A', are said to be a conjugate-couple.
To construct O, let {A, A'}, {B, B'} be two pairs of points on a straight line. Through A and B draw any two lines AP, BP intersecting in P and through A', B' draw A'Q, B'Q parallel to BP, AP respectively, meeting in Q. PQ meets AB in O. (Proof in the above reference). From this construction, it is clear that two pairs of points are sufficient for determining the range unambigously and its notation can be shortened to {A, A'}, {B, B'}.
X14815–X14825 — Ghoicas-Lozada Images
contribued by Peter Moses and Clark Kimberling, October 11, 2017. The following material is based on a construction by M. D. Ghoicas in 1934; see Antreas Hatzipolakis and César Lozada, Hyacinthos 26655. Let P be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, not on one of the three sidelines, and let P* be the isogonal conjugate P*. Let
AB = AP∩BC, and define BC and CA cyclically.AC = AP*∩BC, and define BA and CB cyclically.A' = BBC /CCB, and define B' and C' cyclically.A″ = BBA /CCA, and define B″ and C″ cyclically.Then the following pairs of triangles are perspective: ABC and A'B'C', ABC and A″B″C″, and A'B'C' and A″B″C″. Let
Q = ABC and A'B'C'Q* = perspector of ABC and A'B'C'GL(P) = perspector of A'B'C' and A″B″C″The point GL(P) is here named the Ghoicas-Lozada image of P. Let
X14870–X14889 — Simpedal points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 19, 2017. “To determine a point P whose pedal triangle A'B'C' with regard to a given triangle ABC shall be similar to a given triangle A*B*C*”. (Johnson, Roger A.: Advanced Eucliden Geometry, Dover, New York, 1960, problem 205, pp. 142.)
Assume ABC and A*B*C* are not inversely similar. For finding P, take any two points B1, C1 on AC and AB, respectively, and build A1B1C1 directly similar to A*B*C*. Then, through A2=AA1∩BC, draw parallels to A1B1 and A1C1, cutting AC and AB at B2 and C2, respectively. The required P is the Miquel point of A2B2C2 with respect to ABC. (Proof in the cited reference).
The point P and the triangle A'B'C' will be named here the simpedal point of A*B*C* in ABC and the simpedal triangle of A*B*C* in ABC, respectively.
Let A* = UA : VA : WA (trilinears) and similarly B* and C*. Let M be the trilinear matrix of A*B*C* and \(m_{ij}\) the (i, j)-minor of M. Denote δij = (-1)i+j \(m_{ij}\). Then,

X14941–X14952 — Brocard-Lemoine points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 24-27, 2017. Let ABC be a triangle, P any point in its plane (not on its sidelines) and A', B', C' the traces of P on ABC. Let Ab, Ac be the points where BC is cut by the parallel to AB through B' and the parallel to AC through C', respectively. Build Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb cyclically. Then lines AAb, BBc, CCa concur at a point W1 and lines AAc, BBa, CCb concur at a point W2.
For P =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears), W1 and W2 have trilinears as shown:W1 =\(c/v : a/w : b/u\)W2 =\(b/w : c/u : a/v\)Note that for P=X6, W1 and W2 are the Brocard points of ABC.
The previous construction is due to Lemoine as an attempt to generalize the Brocard geometry (Roger A. Johnson, Advanced Eucliden Geometry, Dover, New York, 1960, §499-500, pp. 299). Johnson writes, these points have many properties resembling those of the Brocard points.
This preamble includes notes from Randy Hutson.
X14953–X14966 — Bicentrically induced harmonic conjugates
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 25, 2017. Using barycentric coordinates, suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) are a bicentric pair of points. Let
P' = line p*x + q*y + r*z = 0U' = line u*x + v*y + w*z = 0L = a lineP* = L∩P'U* = L∩U'X = a point on LX' = (P*,U*)-harmonic conjugate of X, to be expressed as L(P,U)-harmonic conjugate of XIf L is a central line and X is a triangle center, then X' is a triangle center. For example, if X is on the Euler line, then X' is on the Euler line, for every choice of bicentric pair (P,U), and the point X' in this case is written as Euler(P,U)-harmonic conjugate of X. If X is on the Brocard axis, then X' is written as Brocard(P,U)-harmonic conjugate of X.
X15015–X15142 — Centers related to altimedial triangles
contributed by Randy Hutson, October 27, 2017. The term altimedial triangle was introduced in Hyacinthos 253, by Antreas Hatzipolakis, January 30, 2000. A recap follows:
Let MA, MB, MC be the midpoints of sides BC, CA, AB, resp.Let HA, HB, HC be the feet of the altitudes from A, B, C, resp.The triangles HAMCMB, MCHBMA, MBMAHC are the A-, B- and C-altimedial triangles. Each is inversely congruent to the medial triangle and inversely similar to ABC (with center of inverse similitude the respective vertex of the orthocentroidal triangle).
The A-altimedial triangle has barycentric vertex matrix:
0 : tan B : tan C\(1 : 1 : 0\)\(1 : 0 : 1\)The A-, B- and C-anti-altimedial triangles, AABACA, ABBBCB, ACBCCC are here introduced as the triangles of which ABC is the A-, B- and C-altimedial triangle, resp. To construct the A-anti-altimedial triangle, take AA as the reflection of A in line BC. Then BA is the reflection of AA in B, and CA is the reflection of AA in C. The B- and C-anti-altimedial triangles are constructed cyclically. The anti-altimedial triangles are each inversely congruent to the anticomplementary triangle and homothetic to the respective altimedial triangle, with center of homothety the respective vertex of the orthocentroidal triangle.
X15254–X15299 — Perspeconics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 14, 2017. Let ABC and A'B'C' be two perspective triangles such that neither is inscribed in the other. Let Ab = BC∩A'B', Ac = BC∩A'C', and likewise for Bc, Ba, Ca, and Cb. As ABC and A'B'C' are perspective, the pairs of lines {BC, B'C'}, {CA, C'A'} and {AB, A'B'} concur at three collinear points, and the lines AbAc, BcBa, CaCb join opposite vertices of an hexagon. By Pascal’s theorem, the six points lie on a conic, here named the perspeconic of ABC and A'B'C'.
X15345–X15349 — Dao images
based on notes from Dao Thanh Oai, November 20, 2017. Let P be an arbitrary point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let OA be the centere of the circumcircle of BPC. Let LA be the line through OA parallel to line AP, and define LB and LC cyclically. The lines LA, LB, LC concur in a point Q = Q(P), here named the Dao image of P. (Dao Thanh Oai, November 20, 2017).
If P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics), then
Q = p (c^2 q^2 + (-a^2 + b^2 + c^2) q r + b^2 r^2) (2 a^2 q r + p (-(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2) p + (a^2 - b^2 + c^2) q + (a^2 + b^2 - c^2) r)) : :
If P is on the circumconic Γ = {A, B, C, X4, P}, then Q is on the complement of Γ. (Peter Moses, November 23, 2017)
The Dao image of P is the complement of the Kirikami-Euler image of P. (Randy Hutson, December 2, 2017)
The Dao image of P is the X2-Ceva conjugate of the 2nd Vu point of P. (Randy Hutson, November 17, 2019)

X15428–X15445 — Always-perspective triangles and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, December 2, 2017. Centers X1601-X1634 refer to perspectors of the tangential triangle and the circumcevian triangle of an arbitrary point P. This section deals with the perspectivities between a central triangle and a triangle depending on P. Let P =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears) be a point not on the sidelines of ABC and let the reflections-of-P triangle be the triangle whose vertices are the reflections of P in the lines BC, CA, AB. The following pairs of triangle are perspective for all P: ABC-X3-reflections and antipedal-of-P:
The perspector Q(P) of these triangles is given by trilinears
Q(P) = b*c*(SA*u^2*(SB^2*v^2+SC^2*w^2)+a*u*v*w*(w*b+v*c)*(S^2-2*SB*SC)-SB*SC*a^2*v^2*w^2)+(S^4-2*SB*SC*(S^2+SA^2))*u^2*v*w : : /
Q(P) is the reflection in X3 of the isogonal conjugate of the reflection in X3 of the isogonal conjugate of P.
If P is at infinity, Q(P) is the isogonal conjugate of the antipode of the isogonal conjugate of P.
If P lies on the circumcircle and P' = circumcircle-antipode of P, then Q(SR(X98, P)) = SR(X98, P'), where SR(U,V) is the Simson-Rigby point of U and V. (See the preamble just before X2677 )

: contributed by César Eliud Lozada, December 22, 2017. This section refers to the general solutions to some selected problems in chapter 7 of TCCT, pp. 211-216.
Problem 1:
Let T1 be the medial triangle and T2 be the pedal triangle of any point P inside ΔABC. Prove that the side-triangle of T1 and T2 is perspective to T2 and that the center of perspective lies on the nine-points-circle.
If P =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears) and T2 is the pedal triangle of P, then the perspector Q(P) is:Q(P) = b*c*((b^2-c^2)*u+a*(b*v-c*w))*(c*(-c^2+a^2+b^2)*v-b*(-b^2+c^2+a^2)*w) : : (trilinears)The perspector Q(P) is the same point on the nine-points-circle for every point on the line X3P and it will be denoted here as the (7-1)-TCCT image of the line X3P .
X15648–X15669 — Cross-perspeconics centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, December 28, 2017. Let T1=A1B1C1 and T2=A2B2C2 be two perspective triangles, neither inscribed in the other. Let
\(a_{b}\) = A1B2, \(a_{c}\) = A1C2, \(b_{c}\)= B1C2, \(b_{a}\) = B1A2, \(c_{a}\) = C1A2, \(c_{b}\) = C1B2
Ab = \(a_{b}\)∩\(b_{c}\), Ac = \(a_{c}\)∩\(c_{b}\), Bc = \(b_{c}\)∩\(c_{a}\), Ba = \(b_{a}\)∩\(a_{c}\), Ca = \(c_{a}\)∩\(a_{b}\), Cb = \(c_{b}\)∩\(b_{a}\)
Then the six points Ab, Ac, Ba, Bc, Ca, Cb lie on a conic, here named the cross-perspeconic of T1 and T2.
X15670–X15723 — Points on the Euler line, by combos
Certain points on the Euler line are easily represented as combos, as defined in the Introduction, in Part 1. If P and Q are points on the Euler line, then the points h P + k Q, where h and k are constants, comprise the thinline of P and Q, denoted by TL(P,Q). Points X15670-X15680 are on TL(X2,X21), and points X15681-X15723, X15759, X15764, X15765 are on TL(X2, X3).
The Euler line contains infinitely many thinlines, all of which contain the point X2-X3 at infinity. Otherwise, distinct thinlines meet in at most one point.
In general, if P and Q are points, then many combos h P + k Q are composites of the midpoint and reflection operations. Let m = midpoint and r = reflection. Then
P + Q = m(P,Q)P - 2 Q = r(P,Q)3 P + Q = m(P,m(P,Q))3 P - Q = m(r(Q,P)),P)3 P - 2 Q = r(r(P,Q)),P)3 P - 4 Q = r(P,r(P,Q))4 P - 5 Q = r(r(Q,P),r(P,Q))5 P + 3 Q = m(m(m(P,Q),r(Q,P)),Q)An open question is whether h*P+k*Q is such a composite for all choices h, k or integers (not both 0). Note that TL(P,Q) also contains points such as P + \(2^{1/2}\)*Q which is not such a composite.
X15766 — Euler lines and Brocard axis concurrences
:contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 02, 2018. Let r be the Euler line of ΔABC and P a variable point. Let \(r_{a}\), \(r_{b}\), \(r_{c}\) be the Euler lines of the triangulation of P, here defined as ordered triple (ΔPBC, ΔPCA and ΔPAB) of triangles. Then, if P is on the Neuberg cubic, the four lines r, \(r_{a}\), \(r_{b}\), \(r_{c}\) concur. Under the same conditions, the Brocard axes of ΔABC, ΔPBC, ΔPCA and ΔPAB concur.
X15808–X15886 — Tangential perspeconics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 8, 2018. If A'B'C' and A″B″C″ are two perspective triangles, neither inscribed in the other, then the six lines A'B″, A'C″, B'C″, B'A″, C'A″ and C'B″ are tangent to a unique conic, here named the tangential perspeconic of A’B’C’ and A”B”C”.
Suppose the first triangle is the reference triangle ABC and the second is a central triangle A'B'C', perspective to ABC at X =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics). Then XA'/XA = λa, XB'/XB = λb and XC'/XC = λc, where λa = λ(a,b,c), λb = λ(b,c,a), λc = λ(c,a,b) and λ(a,b,c) is a degree-0 homogeneous function of a,b,c. In this case, the center Q of the tangential perspeconic of ABC and A'B'C' is:Q = λa (λb λc - 1) (y + z) + (λb + λc - 2) x : : (barycentrics)
X15915–X15928 — Gamma-triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 20, 2018. The gamma triangle Γ(T) of a triangle T is defined as the triangle having vertices the isogonal conjugates of the orthopoints of the sidelines of T. (TCCT, 6-46, pp. 178-179). From this definition, it is clear that every member of a set of homothetic triangles has the same gamma-triangle. It is proved in the given reference that if T is not a degenerated triangle then T and Γ(T) are similar. Their center of similitude will be named here as the gamma-center of similitude of T.
X15995–X15999 — Points associated with the Garcia reflection triangle
This preamble is based on notes from several contributors named in the preamble. The Garcia reflection triangle is introduced here as follows. Let A' be the excenter of a triangle ABC, and define B' and C' cyclically. Let A″ be the midpoint of segment BC, and define B″ and C″ cyclically. Let A* be the reflection of A' in A″, and define B* and C* cyclically. Emmanuel Jose Garcia conjectured that the triangle A*B*C*, here named the Garcia reflection triangle, is perspective to the outer-Garcia triangle. César Lozada proved (January 28, 2018) that the conjecture is true. He found barycentric coordinates:
A* = a : c - a : b - aB* = c \(- b : b : a\) - bC* = b - c : a - c : c

The triangle A'B'C' is called the Fuhrmann triangle of ABC. (See Fuhrmann triangle from MathWorld). The Furhrman triangle is the reflection of the 2nd circumperp triangle in the sidelines of ABC.
Let ABC be a triangle and let A″ be the midpoint of the arc BC containing A, and define B″ and C″ cyclically.. The triangle A″B″C″ is here named the 2nd Fuhrmann triangle of ABC. This triangle is the reflection of the 1st circumperp triangle in the sidelines of ABC. Its A-vertex has barycentric coordinates:
A″ = -a^2 : b*c+a^2-c^2 : b*c+a^2-b^2
A″B″C″ has area S*(2*r+3*R)/(4*r), where r, R and S are the inradius, circumradius and double-area of ABC, respectively.
The 2nd Fuhrmann triangle is perspective to triangles in the following list with perspector X3: anti-Hutson intouch, anti-incircle-circles, 6th anti-mixtilinear, Ara, Ascella, 1st Brocard, 1st circumperp, 2nd circumperp, 1st Ehrmann, 2nd Euler, Fuhrmann, Johnson, inner-Johnson, outer-Johnson, Kosnita, McCay, medial, inner-Napoleon, outer-Napoleon, 1st Neuberg, 2nd Neuberg, tangential, Trinh, inner-Vecten, outer-Vecten.

X16286–X16302 — Collineation images on the Euler line
A regular collineation m is defined by its action on four points, P1, P2, P3, P4, no three of which are collinear. Given four such points, let Pk = m(Pk-4) for k = 5,6,7,8. The eight points Pk determine m; conversely, given eight such points, a collineation m is uniquely determined. For every point X, the point m(X) is here called the (P1, P2, P3, P4; P5, P6, P7, P8) collineation image of X. (Regular collineations are discussed in Clark Kimberling, Collineations, Conjugacies and Cubics).
Collineations map lines to lines. Thus, for example the collineation m indicated by (X1,X2,X3,X6; X2,X3,X6,X1) maps the Nagel line, X1X2, onto the Euler line, X2X3. Examples of triangle centers m(X) found in this way are X16286-X16302. For more collineation images on the Euler line, see X16342-X16355, X16367-X16384, and X16393-X16458. See also the preamble just before X16544.
X16544–X16614 — Collineation images
This section follows the discussion of collineations just before X16286. If A'B'C' is a central triangle other than ABC and P and U are triangle centers, then (A, B, C,P; A',B',C',U) is a regular collineation, as is its inverse, given by (A',B',C',U; A, B, C,P). The collineation images at X16544-X16576 result from A'B'C' = excentral triangle, P = X2, and U = X1. We write the image of X as m(X); let \(m^{-1}\) denote the inverse collineation. Then centers X16544-X16576 are examples of m(X), and X16577-X16614 are examples of \(m^{-1}(X)\). Other examples are given by the following list …
X16678–X16759 — Collineation images
This section follows the discussion of collineations just before X16286, and especially just before X16544. If A'B'C' is a central triangle other than ABC and P and U are triangle centers, then (A, B, C,P; A',B',C',U) is a regular collineation, as is its inverse, given by (A',B',C',U; A, B, C,P).
X17043–X17077 — Collineation images
If A'B'C' is a central triangle other than ABC and P and U are triangle centers, then (A, B, C,P; A',B',C',U) is a regular collineation, as is its inverse, given by (A',B',C',U; A, B, C,P). The collineation images at X17043-X17097 result from A'B'C' = medial triangle, P = X2, and U = X1. We write the image of X as m(X); let \(m^{-1}\) denote the inverse collineation. Then centers X17043-X17073 are examples of m(X), and X17074-X17097 are examples of \(m^{-1}(X)\).
X17134–X17219 — Collineation images
If A'B'C' is a central triangle other than ABC and P and U are triangle centers, then (A, B, C,P; A',B',C',U) is a regular collineation, as is its inverse, given by (A',B',C',U; A, B, C,P). The collineation images at X17134-X17219 result from A'B'C' = medial triangle, P = X2, and U = X1. We write the image of X as m(X); let \(m^{-1}\) denote the inverse collineation. Then centers X17134-X17166 are examples of m(X), and X17167-X17219 are examples of \(m^{-1}(X)\).
X17227–X17400 — Moses points
Consider the set triangle centers having first barycentric of the form
k(1)*a^2 + k(2)*(ab + ac) + k(3)(b^2 + c^2) + k(4)*bc,
where k(i) is in {-2,-1,0,1,2} for i = 1,2,3,4. There are 273 such centers, of which 99 are listed above. The remaining 174 appear below as X17227 to X17400, with names of the form MOSES (k(1),k(2),k(3),k(4)) POINT. Barycentrics contributed by Peter Moses, April 8, 2018.
We refer to ordered tuples such as (k(1),k(2),k(3),k(4)) as the Moses code for a point X. If X has a first barycentric that is a polynomial in a,b,c, then the Moses notation can be generalized in a straightforward manner, as in X17669-X17698. The notation can also be extended to cover certain nonpolynomials; e.g. X615 can be coded as the Moses (1,0,0,0;-2S) point.
Specifically, for polynomial centers of degree 3, the Moses code is the 6-tuple (k(1),…,k(6)) of coefficients in
k(1)*a^3 + k(2)*a^2*(b + c) + k(3)*a*(b^2 + c^2) + k(4)*a*b*c + k(5)*(b^3 + c^3) + k(6)*(b^2*c + b*c^2); see, for example, X17591.
For degree 5, the Moses code is the 12-tuple (k(1),…,k(12)) representing
k(1)*a^5 + k(2)*a^4*(b + c) + k(3)*a^3*(b^2 + c^2) + k(4)*a^2*b*c + k(5)*a^2*(b^3 + c^3) + k(6)*a^2*(b^2*c + b*c^2) + k(7)*a*(b^4 + c^4) + k(8)*a*(b^3 c + b*c^3) + a(9)*a*b^2*c^2 + a(10)*(b^5 + c^5) + a(11)(b^4 c + b*c^4) + a(12)*(b^3 c^2 + b^2 c^3); see for example, X17787.

Let :g:`A″B″C″ << A″ B″ C″ >>` be any other triangle perspective to :g:`ABC << A B C >>` and homothetic to :g:`A’B’C’ << A’ B’ C’ >>`. Then the perspectors of :g:`ABC << A B C >>` and :g:`A″B″C″ << A″ B″ C″ >>` lie on a fixed circumconic of :g:`ABC << A B C >>`. (:person:`Dao Thanh Oai <dao-thanh-oai>`, March 17, 2018). (A proof of this theorem is given in Homo-Perspeconics (

X17438–X17499 — Collineation images
If A'B'C' is a central triangle other than ABC and P and U are triangle centers, then (A, B, C,P; A',B',C',U) is a regular collineation, as is its inverse, given by (A',B',C',U; A, B, C,P). The collineation images at X17438-X17499 result from A'B'C' = incentral triangle, P = X2, and U = X1. We write the image of X as m(X); let \(m^{-1}\) denote the inverse collineation. Then centers X17438-X17478 are examples of m(X), and X17479-X17499 are examples of \(m^{-1}(X)\).

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, April 14, 2018. Lemma: The internal tangents of two exterior circles touch them in four concyclic points. Also, the external tangents of two circles, none totally interior to the other, touch the circles in four concyclic points.
In a triangle ABC, the common internal tangents of the incircle and the A-excircle touch them in four concyclic points. Let {\(o_{a}\)} be the circle through these touchpoints and denote as a′ the radical axis of {\(o_{a}\)} and the incircle. Build b′ and c′ cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' bounded by a′, b′ and c′ will be named here the Ursa-minor triangle of ABC.
Continuing with the previous construction, let a″ be the radical axis of {\(o_{a}\)} and the A-excircle and build b″ and c″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″ bounded by a″, b″ and c″ will be named here the Ursa-major triangle of ABC.
A-vertices of both triangles have trilinear coordinates:A' = (b+c)*a-(b-c)^2 : -(a-b+c)*(a-c) : -(a+b-c)*(a-b)A″ = (b+c)*(a^2+b^2+c^2)-2*(b^2+c^2)*a : -((a-b)^2+(2*a-c)*c)*(a-c) : -((a-c)^2+(2*a-b)*b)*(a-b)

contributed by Randy Hutson, May 2, 2018. Let TC1=A1B1C1 be the triangle obtained by rotating ABC about the 1st Ehrmann pivot, P(5), by an angle of 2π/3, so that TC1 circumscribes ABC. Triangle TC1 is here named the 1st Ehrmann circumscribing triangle. Let TC2=A2B2C2 be the triangle obtained by rotating ABC about the 2nd Ehrmann pivot, U(5), by an angle of -2π/3, so that TC2 circumscribes ABC. Triangle TC2 is here named the 2nd Ehrmann circumscribing triangle. TC1 and TC2 are inscribed in the Johnson circle (centered at X4).
Let TI1=A'1B'1C'1 be the triangle obtained by rotating ABC about the 1st Ehrmann pivot, P(5), by an angle of -2π/3, so that TI1 is inscribed in ABC. Triangle TI1 is here named the 1st Ehrmann inscribed triangle. Let TI2=A'2B'2C'2 be the triangle obtained by rotating ABC about the 2nd Ehrmann pivot, U(5), by an angle of 2π/3, so that TI2 is inscribed in ABC. Triangle TI2 is here named the 2nd Ehrmann inscribed triangle. TI1 and TI2 are inscribed in a common conic, here named the Ehrmann conic. The center of the Ehrmann conic is X14993.
The orthocenter of TC1 is the circumcenter of TI1, and is here introduced (and at Bicentric Pairs (
BicentricPairs.html)) as P(173). P(173) is therefore the intersection of the Euler lines of TC1 and TI1. The orthocenter of TC2 is the circumcenter of TI2, and is here introduced as U(173). U(173) is therefore the intersection of the Euler lines of TC2 and TI2. PU(173) lie on the Hatzipolakis axis (line PU(5) or X5X523). The midpoint of PU(173) is X5. P(173), X3 and X4 are the vertices of an equilateral triangle with center P(5). U(173), X3 and X4 are the vertices of an equilateral triangle with center U(5).The vertex-triangle of TC1 and TC2 is here named the Ehrmann vertex-triangle. The Ehrmann vertex-triangle is the Kosnita triangle of the Johnson triangle (or equivalently, the reflection of the Kosnita triangle in X5), and the tangential triangle of the Ehrmann mid-triangle (defined below). The vertex-triangle of TI1 and TI2 is ABC.
Let VAVBVC be the Ehrmann vertex-triangle. Then VA is the isogonal conjugate of A'1 wrt TC1, and the isogonal conjugate of A'2 wrt TC2, and cyclically for VB and VC.
The A-vertex of the Ehrmann vertex-triangle has barycentric coordinates:VA = a^6 - a^4(b^2 + c^2) - a^2(b^4 + c^4) + (b^2 - c^2)^2(b^2 + c^2) : -(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)[(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)^2 - b^2c^2] : -(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)[(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)^2 - b^2c^2]The Ehrmann vertex-triangle is orthologic to ABC with orthology center X4.
The Ehrmann vertex-triangle is Eulerologic to ABC at X7577.
The Ehrmann vertex-triangle is perspective to the reflections-of-P triangle for all P.

X23582–X23594 — Points associated with barycentric squares of lines (inscribed ellipses)
Several weeks before the appearance of this preamble on September 29, 2018, Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, and independently, Randy Hutson, developed the notion of (pointwise) squares and cubes of points on lines, and they computed examples found below. Centers X23582-X23594 were contributed by Kimberling and Moses, and X23962-X24041 by Hutson. The latter are in two groups: X23962-X23992 (barycentrc squares) and X23993-X24041 (trilinear) See the preambles just before X23962 and X23993.
Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, not on a sideline BC, CA, AB. Let L be the trilinear polar of P, so that L meets the sidelines in \(0 : q : -r\), \(-p : 0 : r\),\(p : -q : 0\). The barycentric squares of these points are the points A' = 0 : q^2 : r^2, B' = p^\(2 : 0 : r\)^2, C' = p^2 : q^2 : 0. The perspector of A'B'C' and ABC is the barycentric square P^2 = p^2 : q^2 : r^2, so that P^2 is the perspector of the inellipse that is the locus of squares of points on L. The center of the ellipse is the point p^2 (q^2 + r^2) : q^2 (r^2 + p^2) : r^2 (p^2 + q^2), which is the X2-crosspoint of P^2, as well as the complement of the isotomic conjugate of P^2. The ellipse is here named the barycentric square of L.
X23606–X23616 — Points associated with pointwise barycentric cubes of lines
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, September 23, 2018. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, not on a sideline BC, CA, AB. Let L be the trilinear polar of P, and let X be a point on L. The locus of a point X^3 (barycentric cube) is a cubic curve, here named the pointwise barycentric cubic of L. Let \(f(p,q,r,x,y,z) = q^{9}r^{9}x^{3} + 3p^{9}q^{3}r^{3}yz(q^{3}z+r^{3}y)\). An equation for the cubic follows:
f(p,q,r,x,y,z) + f(q,r,p,y,z,x) + f(r,p,q,z,x,y) - 21 (p q r)3x y z = 0.
An equivalent equation is (p^3 x + q^3 y + r^3 z)^3 - 27 p^3 q^3 r^3 x y z = 0.
If L = X2X3 (the Euler line), then P = X648, and the cubic passes through the points Xi for i = 2, 3081, 6524, 23606, 23607, 23608, 23609.
If L is the line at infinity, then P = X2, and the cubic is K656, which passes through Xi for i = 2, 3081, 6545, 8017, 8028, 8029, 8030, 8031, 8032, 23610, 23611, 23612, 23613, 23614, 23615, 23616.

Let E be the inellipse that is the (pointwise) barycentric square of L. The vertex conjugate of the foci of E is the point a^2 p^2 : b^2 q^2 : c^2 r^2. Let U =\(u : v : w\) and X =\(x : y : z\) be points on L so that U^2 and X^2 lie on E. The trilinear pole of the tangent to E at U^2 is the barycentric product P*U = p*u : q*v : r*w, which lies on the trilinear polar of the Brianchon point (perspector) of E. The intersection of the tangents to E at U^2 and X^2 is the barycentric product U*X = u*x : v*y : w*z.
X23993–X24041 — Points associated with trilinear squares of lines (inscribed ellipses)
contributed by Randy Hutson, September 29, 2018. The following discussion is analogous to the preambles just before X23582 and X23962. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears) is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, not on a sideline BC, CA, AB. Let L be the trilinear polar of P, so that L meets the sidelines in \(0 : q : -r\), \(-p : 0 : r\),\(p : -q : 0\). The trilinear squares of these points are the points A' = 0 : q^2 : r^2, B' = p^\(2 : 0 : r\)^2, C' = p^2 : q^2 : 0. The perspector of A'B'C' is the trilinear square P^2, so that P^2 = p^2 : q^2 : r^2 is the perspector of the inellipse that is the locus of squares of points on L. The center of the ellipse is the point p^2(q^2 + r^2) : q^2(r^2 + p^2) : r^2(p^2 + q^2), which is the X2-crosspoint of P^2, as well as the complement of the isotomic conjugate of P^2. The ellipse is here named the trilinear square of L.
Let E be the inellipse that is the trilinear square of L. The vertex conjugate of the foci of E is the point a^2 p^2 : b^2 q^2 : c^2 r^2. Let U =\(u : v : w\) and X =\(x : y : z\) be points on L so that U^2 and X^2 lie on E. The trilinear pole of the tangent to E at U^2 is the trilinear product P*U = p*u : q*v : r*w, which lies on the trilinear polar of the Brianchon point (perspector) of E. The intersection of the tangents to E at U^2 and X^2 is the trilinear product U*X = u*x : v*y : w*z.

X25045–X25050 — Points associated with a family of ellipses
contributed by Peter Moses, October 10, 2018. Let E be the circumellipse with center X141, given by
a^2 (b^2 + c^2) y z + b^2 (c^2 + a^2) x z + c^2 (a^2 + b^2) x y = 0.
This ellipse is the isogonal conjugate of the anticomplement of the de Longchamps line, and it passes through Xi for i = 67, 110, 660, 670, 694, 1634, 4553, 4576, 8050, 20021.
For arbitrary fixed nonzero constant k, let E(k) be the ellipse obtained from E by dilation from X141 with ratio k; then E(k) is given by
(b^2 + c^2) ((a^2 + b^2) (a^2 + c^2) k^2 - b^2 c^2) x^2 + 2 (a^2 b^2 c^2 + (b^2 + c^2) (c^2 + a^2) (a^2 + b^2) k^2) y z + (cyclic) = 0.
The major axis of every E(k) passes through Xi for i = 6, 1344, 2574, 8105, 9173, 13414, and the minor axis, through Xi for i = 6, 1345, 2575, 8106, 9174, 13415, 14899. The two axes are parallel to the Simson lines of X1113 and X1114.
These ellipses are associated with a problem in navigation posed by William Lionheart (see the link at X6), in connection with the fact that if a point P moves on E(k), the sum of squared distances from P to the sidelines BC, CA, AB stays constant. The value of the constant is
(a^2 b^2 c^2 + (b^2 + c^2) (c^2 + a^2) (a^2 + b^2) k^2) / (4 (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) R^2).
Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) is a point on the circumcircle. Then the point
LM(P,k) = (b^2 + c^2) k ((2 a^2 + b^2 + c^2) p + (-a^2 - c^2) q + (-a^2 - b^2) r) - a^2 ((b^2 + c^2) p + (c^2 + a^2) q + (a^2 + b^2) r) : :
is on the ellipse E(k). The point LM(P,k) is here named the Lionheart-Moses k-image of P. Centers X25045-X25050 are examples of such images, for k = 1, as are X3448, X11061, X25332, and X25333; see also X25314-X25336.

Let C(P) be the circumconic with perspector P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics), and let U =\(u : v : w\) and F =\(f : g : h\) be distinct points, with U on C(P). Let U* be the point, other than U, that lies on C(P) and on the line FU. Then
U* = u^2 q r (h v p + f w q + f v r) (g w p + f w q + f v r) : :

X28145–X28236 — Points on circumcircle and line at infinity
contributed by Clark Kimberling, November 17, 2018. Suppose that X =\(x : y : z\) is a point on the line at infinity. All the lines that meet in X are parallel, so that X can be regarded as a direction in the plane of the reference triangle ABC. Let X' be the isogonal conjugate of X, so that X' lies on the circumcircle. Let X″ be the circumcircle-antipode of X', and let X’’’ be its isogonal conjugate, on the line at infinity. As a direction, X’’’ is perpendicular to X. In this section, X is given by the form (b - c)(h a + k(b + c)) : : , where h and k are constants.
In the table below, Columns 1 and 2 show h and k.
Column 3. (b - c)(h a + k(b + c)) : : , on infinity line, referenced below as \(x : y : z\)
Column 4. (isogonal conjugate of \(x : y : z\)) = a^2/x + b^2/y + c^2/z : : on circumcircle, referenced below as \(u : v : w\)
Column 5. (antipode of \(u : v : w\)) = (a^2+b^2-c^2)(a^2-b^2+c^2)u + 2a^2(a^2-b^2-c^2)v + 2a^2(a^2-b^2-c^2)w : : on circumcircle, referenced below as \(u1 : v1 : w1\)
Column 6. (isogonal conjugate of \(u1 : v1 : w1\)) = a^2/u1 + b^2/v1 + c^2/w1
For each row, let X be the point in Column 3 and X' the point in Column 6. Let U be any point in the finite plane of ABC. Then the lines UX and UX' are perpendicular. (The table is omitted here.)

X30181–X30257 — Frégier points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, December 15, 2018. Let Γ be a conic and P a fixed point on it. The sides of any right angle with vertex P cut Γ again in :g:`P’ <P’>` and :g:`P″ <P″>`. Then all the lines :g:`P’P″ <[ P’ P″ ]>` intersect in a common point QΓ(P). (See: Frégier’s Theorem in MathWorld). This section deals with some named conics in the plane of a triangle ABC. The point QΓ(P) is denoted here as the P-Frégier point of Γ. It can be proved that if Γ is a rectangular hyperbola then QΓ(P) lies in the line at infinity. Isogonal conjugates of these points in the infinity are also included in this section.

The locus of P for which A″B″C″ is perspective to ABC is the union of the circumcircle, the lines BC, CA, AB, the line at infinity, and the cubic K004. If P is on the line at infinity, then the perspector is on the cubic K162.
The locus of P for which A″B″C″ is perspective to the cevian triangle of P is the same as for property 3.
The locus of P for which A'B'C' is perspective to the anticevian triangle of P is the union of the lines BC, CA, AB, and the cubic K004.
A’B’C’and A″B″C″ are perspective with perspector X6.
The intriangle of X2 is perspective to the circumsymmedial triangle at X3.
The intriangle of X6 is perspective to the 1st Ehrmann triangle (see X8537 at X12027; to the Artzt triangle (see X9742 at X6776, and to the anti-Honsberger triangle at X184.
X30543–X30550 — Centers associated with duple triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling, January 1, 2019. Suppose that A'B'C' is a central triangle in the plane of a reference triangle ABC, and that barycentrics for A' are \(u : v : w\). The duple of A'B'C' is here introduced as the central triangle A″B″C″ having A″ =\(u : w : v\); for example, the duple of the excentral triangle has A″ = \(-a : c : b\). It is easy to prove that if two triangles are perspective, then their duples are perspective.
Peter Moses (January 1, 2019) found the following perspectivities for the duple of the excentral triangle:

X30715–X30721 — Centers associated with line-reflected triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling, January 11, 2019). In the plane of a triangle ABC, suppose that A'B'C' is a triangle and L is a line. Let A″ be the reflection A' in L, and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″ is here named the L-reflection of A’B’C’. If A'B'C' is a central triangle and L a central line, then A″B″C″ is a central triangle.
Let T denote the Euler-line-reflection of ABC. Peter Moses (January 12, 2019) found that T is perspective to the following triangles, with perspectors as indicated:

The locus of a point P such that the cevian triangle of P is perspective to T is the cubic pK(14618,264). The locus of P such that the anticevian triangle of P is perspective to T is the cubic pK(112,648). (Peter Moses, January 13, 2019)

X31353–X31375 — Conics associated to pairs of orthologic or parallelogic triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 27, 2019.
Conics associated to a pair of orthologic triangles:
Let T'=A'B'C' and T″=A″B″C″ be two orthologic triangles. Denote a’b and a’c the perpendicular lines from A' to A″C″ and A″B″, respectively, and build b’c, b’a, c’a,c’b cyclically. Then these six lines are tangent to a conic Φ’t, here named the orthologic tangential-conic T’ to T”.
Swap T' and T″, repeat the above construction and name the respective lines a”b, a”c, b”c, b”a, c”a, c”b. Then these six lines are tangent to another conic Φ”t, here named the orthologic tangential-conic T” to T’.
Let A'b=a’b ∩ B'C' and A'c=a’c ∩ B'C' and define B'c, B'a, C'a, C'b cyclically. Then these six points lie on a conic Φ’p, here named the orthologic conic T’ to T”.
Swap T' and T″, repeat the above construction and name the respective points A″b, A″c, B″c, B″a, C″a, C″b. Then these six points lie on another conic Φ”p, here named the orthologic conic T” to T’.
Conics associated to a pair of parallelogic triangles:
Let T'=A'B'C' and T″=A″B″C″ be two parallelogic triangles. Denote a’b and a’c the parallel lines from A' to A″C″ and A″B″, respectively, and build b’c, b’a, c’a,c’b cyclically. Then these six lines are tangent to a conic Ψ’t, here named the parallelogic tangential-conic T’ to T”.
Swap T' and T″, repeat the above construction and name the respective lines a”b, a”c, b”c, b”a, c”a, c”b. Then these six lines are tangent to another conic Ψ”t, here named the parallelogic tangential-conic T” to T’.
Let A'b=a’b ∩ B'C' and A'c=a’c ∩ B'C' and define B'c, B'a, C'a, C'b cyclically. Then these six points lie on a conic Ψ’p, here named the parallelogic conic T’ to T”.
Swap T' and T″, repeat the above construction and name the respective points A″b, A″c, B″c, B″a, C″a, C″b. Then these six points lie on another conic Ψ”p, here named the parallelogic conic T” to T’.
If T' and T″ are orthologic (parallelogic) triangles and P is the orthologic (parallelogic) center T' to T″, then the orthologic (parallelogic) conic T' to T″ does not depend on T″. Moreover, the orthologic conic T' to T″ and the parallelogic conic T' to T″ coincide. Therefore, when T' are P are given, a more convenient name for this conic Φ’p= Ψ’p is P-orthoparallelogic conic of T’. A similar coincidence occurs for the tangential conics Φ’t= Ψ’t and therefore a better name for this conic is P-orthoparallelogic tangential-conic of T’.
If P =\(x:y:z\) (barycentrics) then the center of the P-orthoparallelogic conic of ABC is:
O'p = x^2*(y+z)*((y+z)*(x^4-(y-z)^2*y*z)-x*(y^2+z^2)*(-x^2+y^2+z^2)-(y^3+z^3)*x^2) : :

Q'p = x*(y+z)*F(x,y,z)*F(x,z,y) : :, where \(F(x,y,z) = (x^{2} (2 x y+x z+2 z^{2})-(y-z) \cdot (2 y ((x+z) y+z^{2})+x z (y+z)))\)
The center of the P-orthoparallelogic tangential-conic of ABC is O't=:term:complement <complement>-of-P and its perspector is:
Q't = (x*(2*z+y)+y*(y+z))*(x*(2*y+z)+z*(y+z)) : :
X31393–X31502 — Centroids of curvatures
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, February 08, 2019. Let (O1), (O2), (O3) be three circles with distinct and non-collinear centers. Denote I1, I2, I3 the internal centers of similitude of {(O2), (O3)}, {(O3), (O1)} and {(O1), (O2)} , respectively. Then the lines O1I1, O2I2, O3I3 concur.
Assume that exact trilinear coordinates of the centers are Oi = ( Ui, Vi, Wi ) and their radius are \(R_{i}\) (i = 1..3). If M is the trilinear matrix of the centers then the given point of intersection Q is:
Q = \(M^{T}\).| ρ1 ρ2 ρ3 |T, where ρi = 1/\(R_{i}\), i.e., ρi is the curvature of the circle (Oi).
In fewer words:
Q = Σ ρiUi : Σ ρiVi : Σ ρiWi, i=1..3
Then, for obvious reasons, the point Q is here named here the centroid of curvatures of the circles (O1), (O2), (O3).
Suppose a fourth circle (O4) is added to the above configuration and let Qℓ be the centroid of curvatures of (Oi), (Oj), (Ok). Then the lines OiQi concur at:
Q = Σ ρiUi : Σ ρiVi : Σ ρiWi, i=1..4
The last extension provides a geometrical recursive construction of the centroid of curvatures of any number n ≥ 3 of circles with distinct and not collinear centers.

X32488–X32513 — 2nd and 3rd Vecten triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 14, 2019. Given a triangle ABC, build the square σ’a = AA'bA'aA'c, with the same orientation as ABC, and such that B and C lie on the lines A'aA'b and A'aA'c, respectively. Define σ’b and σ’c cyclically.
Build now the square σ”a = AA″bA″aA″c, with opposite orientation of ABC, and such that B and C lie on the lines A″aA″b and A″aA″c, respectively, and construct σ”b and σ”c cyclically.
A'a and A″a have barycentric coordinates:
A'a = 1/SA : 1/(SB-S) : 1/(SC-S).
A″a = 1/SA : 1/(SB+S) : 1/(SC+S).
The lines AA'a, BB`b and CC'a concur at X486 and similarly the lines AA″a, BB″b and CC″a concur at X485. Moreover, the triangle bounded by the lines A'bA'c, B'aB'c and C'aC'b is the inner-Vecten triangle of ABC and the triangle enclosed by the lines A″bA″c, B″aB″c and C″aC″b is the outer-Vecten triangle of ABC. For the latter reasons, the triangle A'aB'bC'c are here named here the 2nd inner-Vecten triangle of ABC and the triangle A″aB″bC″c are here named the 2nd outer-Vecten triangle of ABC.
Let A', A″ be the centers of σ’a and σ”a, respectively, and define (B', B″), (C', C″) cyclically. The triangles A'B'C' and A″B″C″ are here named the 3rd inner-Vecten triangle of ABC and 3rd outer-Vecten triangle of ABC, respectively. The have first vertices barycentrics coordinates:

X32559–X32588 — Mutual polar conics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 22, 2019. Two triangles are mutually polar with respect to a conic if each edge of one is the polar of a vertex of the other. Two triangles are perspective if and only if they are mutually polar with respect to a conic.. (Lord, Eric (2013). Symmetry and Pattern in Projective Geometry, (pp 88). London: Springer).
The conic with respect to which two perspective triangles T1 and T2 are mutually polar are here named the mutual polar conic of T1 and T2. A list of these conics involving ABC and some triangles can be seen in Wolfram’s Polar Triangle.
If T' = A'B'C' is a central triangle perspective to ABC with perspector P =\(u:v:w\) (trilinears) then there exists a function f(a,b,c) such that AA'=f(a,b,c)*AP, BB'=f(b,c,a)*BP and CC'=f(c,a,b)*CP (in particular, if T' and ABC are homothetic then f(a,b,c) is a constant). The center O of the mutual polar conic of ABC and T' has trilinears O = u/f(a,b,c) : v/f(b,c,a) : w/f(c,a,b) (O=P if ABC and T' are homothetic). The perspector of this conic is P.

Let L be a line. The barycentric product of the (real or nonreal) circumcircle intercepts of L is the trilinear pole of the isogonal conjugate of the isotomic conjugate of L (or equivalently, X6*L). These intercepts are also circumcircle-P-antipodes for all P on L.
X32751–X32766 — Points Selected for Their Tripolar Coordinates
contributed by Peter Moses and Clark Kimberling, June 18, 2019. Homogeneous tripolar coordinates (henceforth simply tripolars) for a point X are any triple \(x : y : z\) of numbers (or functions of a,b,c) that are respectively proportional to the distances |AX|, |BX|, |CX|. A point X and its circumcircle-inverse have identical tripolars. The appearance of i, j; f(a,b,c) in the following table means that Xi and Xj are such a pair, with tripolars \(f(a,b,c,) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\). (Table omitted.)
If X has tripolars \(x: y : z\), then barycentrics for X are
a^2 (D SA + T S) : : and a^2( D SA - T S) : : , where SA = b c cos A, S = 2 area(ABC), T = b^2 y^2 + c^2 z^2 - a^2 x^2, and
D = \(\sqrt{(a x + b y + c z)(- a x + b y + c z)(a x - b y + c z)(a x + b y - c z)}\).

X33338–X33503 — Half-squares and half-diamonds triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, June 27, 2019. In a triangle ABC, build the triangles Ta = AB'C', Tb = BC'A' and Tc = CA'B', all isosceles with the same vertical angle θ in A, B, C, respectively. Barycentrics coordinates of A' are
A' = (a^2*sin(θ) + S)/a : b*sin(C-θ) : c*sin(B-θ)and cyclically for B' and C'.There are two triads of such triangles, according as Ta, Tb, Tc have all the same or opposite orientation as ABC (this fact can be translated by using ±θ). Let A'B' C' and A″B″C″ be the respective resulting triangles. Then
A'B'C' and A″B″C″ are both perspective to ABC with perspectors Q = a*csc(A - θ) : : (barycentrics). These perspectors lie on the Kiepert hyperbola of ABC and their isogonal conjugates satisfy\(OQ^{-1}\) = OK*cos(θ)*cos(ω)/cos(θ + ω), where O=X3, K=X6 and ω is the Brocard angle of ABC. A'B'C' and A″B″C″ are perspective with perspector Q* = cos(A)*cos(θ)+cos(B)*cos(C) : :. Q* lies on the Euler line of ABC and OQ* = OH/(1+2*cos(θ)), where H=X4. ABC is orthologic to both A'B'C' and A″B″C″. The orthologic centers A'B'C'→ABC and A″B″C″→ABC are both Q and the reciprocal orthologic centers lie also on the Kiepert hyperbola of ABC.Two particular cases are considered here: θ = ±π/2 and θ = ±π/3. For the first case, Ta is a half-square (and similarly for Tb, Tc) and, for the second case, these three triangles are equilateral and we can regard Ta as a half-diamond. These names are introduced here for the triangles A'B'C' and A″B″C″. Their A-vertex barycentrics coordinates are1st half-squares triangle, with A' = -(a^2-S)/a : b*cos(C) : c*cos(B) = -(a^2+S) : SC : SB2nd half-squares triangle, with A″ = -(a^2+S)/a : b*cos(C) : c*cos(B) = -(a^2-S) : SC : SB1st half-diamonds triangle, with A' = -(\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2-2*S)/(2*a) : b*cos(C-π/6) : c*cos(B-π/6) = -(\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2-2*S) : \(\sqrt{3}\)*SC+S : \(\sqrt{3}\)*SB+S2nd half-diamonds triangle, with A″ = -(\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2+2*S)/(2*a) : b*cos(C+π/6) : c*cos(B+π/6) = -(\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2+2*S) : \(\sqrt{3}\)*SC-S : \(\sqrt{3}\)*SB-SMoreover, when θ = π/3, the centers Ao, Bo, Co of the equilateral triangles Ta, Tb and Tc are vertices of an equilateral triangle. These triangles are here named the 1st and 2nd diamonds-central triangles. They have center X2 and A-vertices1st half-diamonds-central triangle: A'o = -(a^2+2*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S) : SC-\(\sqrt{3}\)*S : SB-\(\sqrt{3}\)*S2nd half-diamonds-central triangle: A″o = -(a^2-2*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S) : SC+\(\sqrt{3}\)*S : SB+\(\sqrt{3}\)*SAlso, for any value of θ, the 1st or 2nd Fermat points of Ta, Tb, Tc are the vertices of other equilateral triangles.

X33513–X33516 — Centers of bianticevian conics
contributed by Vu Thanh Tung and Vu Quoc My, July 4, 2019. Suppose that P and Q are points not on a sideline of a triangle ABC. The conic section that passes through P, Q, and the vertices of the anticevian triangle of P also passes through the vertices of the anticevian triangle of Q. This conic was introduced by Randy Hutson. Barry Wolk found coordinates for the center, and Paul Yiu and Francisco Javier García Capitán found other properties. See Hyacinthos (#21109 and related posts), July 2012.
If P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics), then the two anticevian triangles have vertices
Pa = \(-p : q : r\), Pb =\(p :-q : r\), Pc = p : q -r and Ua = \(-u : v : w\), Ub=\(u : -v : w\), Uc =\(u : v : -w\),
and the conic, which passes through P, Q, Pa, Pb, Pc, Ua, Ub, Uc, has center 1/(q^2 w^2 - r^2 v^2) : 1/(r^2 u^2 - p^2 w^2) :1/(p^2 v^2 - q^2 w^2).
X33537–X33543 — Points on the Stammler reflection hyperbola
:contributed by Peter Moses, July 11, 2019. The name Stammler reflection hyperbola, denoted by SRH, refers to the reflection of the Stammler hyperbola in X3. Let T be the hexyl triangle.

X33602–X33627 — Fermat-Dao-Nhi triangles and related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, July 19, 2019. Dao Thanh Oai and Hoang Le Ngoc Nhi have presented the following configurations:
Let ABC be a triangle with centroid G and outer-Fermat (or inner-Fermat) triangle AfBfCf.
Let A* = reflection of G in Af; let A1 = reflection of A* in A. Define B1 and C1 cyclically. Let A* = reflection of G in A; let A2 = reflection of A* in Af . Define B2 and C2 cyclically. Let A* = reflection of A in G; let A3 = midpoint of A*Af . Define B3 and C3 cyclically. Let A* = reflection of Af in G; let A4 = midpoint of A*A. Define B4 and C4 cyclically. Then triangles A1B1C1, A2B2C2, A3B3C3, A4B4C4 are equilateral and perspective to ABC.
Added by César Lozada:
For the outer-Fermat triangle, barycentrics coordinates of A1…A4 are:
A1 = -7*S-3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2 : 2*S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SC : 2*S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SB
A2 = -5*S-3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2 : 4*S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SC : 4*S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SB
A3 = 4*S-3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2 : -5*S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SC : -5*S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SB
A4 = 8*S-3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*a^2 : -S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SC : -S+3*\(\sqrt{3}\)*SB
For the inner-Fermat triangle, just replace S → -S in these coordinates.
The preceding triangles are here named here the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th outer-Fermat-Dao-Nhi triangles, respectively, and their correspondents built from the inner-Fermat triangle are here named the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th inner-Fermat-Dao-Nhi triangles, respectively. All these triangles have center X2.
Observe that given A-barycentrics have all the form Aλ, μ = λ*S - a^2 : μ*S + SC : μ*S + SB, where λ, μ are real numbers. It results that, for all real numbers (λ, μ), the triangle 𝔽(λ, μ) = Aλ, μBλ, μCλ, μ is perspective to each triangle in the following set: {ABC, anti-Artzt, 1st anti-Brocard, anti-McCay, anticomplementary, Artzt, 1st Brocard-reflected, 1st Brocard, inner-Fermat, outer-Fermat, 1st half-diamonds-central, 2nd half-diamonds-central, 1st half-diamonds, 2nd half-diamonds, 1st half-squares, 2nd half-squares, McCay, medial, inner-Napoleon, outer-Napoleon, 1st Neuberg, 2nd Neuberg, inner-Vecten, outer-Vecten}. Also 𝔽(λ, μ) and 𝔽(λ’, μ’) are perspective for any combination of (λ, μ, λ’, μ’). The perspector of ABC and 𝔽(λ, μ) has barycentric coordinates Q = (μ*S+SB)*(μ*S+SC) : :, not dependending on λ. Q lies on the Kiepert hyperbola of ABC.
With the last notation we have: A1B1C1 = 𝔽(-7*k, 2*k), A2B2C2 = 𝔽(-5*k, 4*k), A3B3C3 = 𝔽(4*k, -5*k), A4B4C4 = 𝔽(8*k, -k), where k = ±\(\sqrt{3}\)/9 (plus and minus signs for outer- and inner- triangles, respectively). Similarly: 1st/2nd half-diamonds triangles = 𝔽( ±2*\(\sqrt{3}\)/3, ±\(\sqrt{3}\)/3 ), 1st/2nd half-diamonds-central triangles = 𝔽( ∓2*\(\sqrt{3}\), ∓\(\sqrt{3}\) ), 1st/2nd half-squares triangles = 𝔽( ∓1, 0 ), outer-/inner-Fermat = 𝔽( 0, ±\(\sqrt{3}\)/3 ).
The condition for 𝔽(λ, μ) being equilateral is |λ - μ| = \(\sqrt{3}\).
Note that every original construction is made from two reflections. Going further, if homothecies are used instead of reflections then configurations 1 to 4 can be combined and generalized by writing:
<blockquote
Let ABC be a triangle with centroid G and outer-Fermat (or inner-Fermat) triangle AfBfCf.
Let A* be the homothecy of G with factor p and center A, 𝔸1 the homothecy of A* with factor q and center Af. Build 𝔹1 and ℂ1 cyclically. Then, for each value of p∉{0, 3} there exist two values of q∈{1/p, 2/(3-p)} such that 𝔸1𝔹1ℂ1 is equilateral and perspective to ABC. Let A* be the homothecy of G with factor p and center Af, 𝔸2 the homothecy of A* with factor q and center A. Build 𝔹2 and ℂ2 cyclically. Then, for each value of p∉{0, 3/2} there exist two values of q∈{1/p, 1/(3-2*p)} such that 𝔸2𝔹2ℂ2 is equilateral and perspective to ABC.
X33628–X33636 — Perspectors of triangles inscribed in the circumcircle
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 21, 2019. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) is a point. The points q - r : r - p : p - q and 2p - q - r : 2q - r - p : 2r - p - q clearly lie on the line at infinity, so that their isogonal conjugates, \(g(P) = a^{2}/(q-r)\): b^2/(r-p) : c^2/(p-q) and \(h(P) = a^{2}/(2p-q-r)\): b^2/(2q-r-p) : c^2/(2r-p-q), lie on the circumcircle. Thus, if T is a central triangle Then g(T) and h(T) are central triangles inscribed in the circumcircle. Suppose that X =\(x : y : z\) is a triangle center. Let T(1) be the central triangle with A-vertex \(-x : y : z\), and let T(2) be the central triangle with A-vertex \(0 : 1/y : 1/z\).
Theorem: the triangles g(T(1)) and h(T(2)) are perspective, and their perspector is
M(X) = a^2(-3x+y+z)/(y+z) : b^2(-3y+z+x)/(z+x) : c^2(-3z-x+y)/(x+y).
If X is on the circumcircle, then M(X) is on the line X6X', where X' is the X3-cross conjugate of X. If X is on the line at infinity, then M(X) = X6.
If X is on the Kiepert circumhyperbola, KCH, of the anticomplementary triangle, then M(X) is on the Brocard axis. Points on KCH include Xi for these i: {1, 2 , 20, 63, 147, 194, 368, 487, 488, 616, 617, 627, 628, 1670, 1671, 1764, 2128, 2582, 2583, 2896, 3413, 3414, 6194, 6462, 6463, 7616, 8591, 8782, 9742, 10336, 11148, 13174, 13678, 13798, 16552, 16563, 17147, 18301, 18596, 20371, 21378, 30562, 30564, 30579, 33404, 33405, 33608, 33609, 33610, 33611, 33612, 33613}

X33904–X33922 — Points on the line at infinity
contributed by Clark Kimberling, August 13, 2019. Suppose that U =\(u : v : w\) =\(u(a,b,c) : v(a,b,c) : w(a,b,c)\) is a point on the line L at infinity, which consists of all points X =\(x : y : z\) : =\(x(a,b,c) : y(a,b,c): z(a,b,c)\) that satisfy \(x+y+z = 0\). Suppose also that D =\(d : e : f\) is a point, and define
g(D) =\(u(d,e,f) : v(d,e,f) : w(d,e,f)\).
Clearly, g(D) lies on L. For example, if D = U = b-c : c-a : a-b, then
\(g(D) = c-a - (a-b)\): a-b - (b-c) : b-c - (c-a) = 2a-b-c : 2b-c-a : 2c-a-b, and g(g(D)) = D; also,
if D = 2a-b-c : 2b-c-a : 2c-a-b, then \(g(D) = D\).
In those examples, a,b,c can be replaced by \(a^{m}\), \(b^{m}\),\(c^{m}\) for any nonzero real number, so that that following family of triangle centers, all on L, can be regarded as a basis for generating, by composition, many more centers on L.

X34178–X34193 — P-vertex conjugate of P, for P on the line at infinity
contributed by Randy Hutson, August 31, 2019. Let P be a point on the line at infinity. The locus of the P-vertex conjugate of P, as P varies, is a quartic which is the isogonal conjugate of the anticomplementary circle. This quartic passes through the vertices of ABC and the tangential triangle, the circular points at infinity, and centers X3446, X3447, X9217, X22259, X34130, X34178, X34179, X34180, X34181, X34182, X34183, X34184, X34185, X34187, X34189, X34190, X34191 and X34192. If ABC is acute, the quartic is a closed curve. If ABC is obtuse, it meets the line at infinity at the isogonal conjugates of the anticomplements of PU(4) (the circumcircle intercepts of the anticomplementary circle).
Peter Moses gives the equation for the quartic as:

Suppose further that p,q,r are distinct homogeneous functions of a,b,c. The permutation ellipse of P, denoted by E(P), is the ellipse that passes through the six points \(p : q : r\),\(q : r : p\),\(r : p : q\),\(p : r : q\),\(q : p : r\),\(r : q : p\), given by
(q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
The centroid, X2, is the center and the perspector of E(P).

The Frégier point of P is the point P' shown at Frégier’s Theorem. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) lies on the Steiner circumellipse. Then the Frégier point of P is given by
\(F(P) = (-5 a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}) q^{2} r^{2} + p^{2} (r^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2} - 5 c^{2}) + q^{2} (a^{2} - 5 b^{2} + c^{2})) + p q r ((-7 a^{2} + 5 b^{2} + 5 c^{2}) p + (5 a^{2} + 5 b^{2} - 7 c^{2}) q + (5 a^{2} - 7 b^{2} + 5 c^{2}) r)\): : .
The locus of F(P) for P on the Steiner circumellipse is the permutation ellipse E(X69). Selected points on the Steiner circumellipse and the associated Frégier points on E(X69) are shown here:
An equation for the ellipse E(X69), that is, Frégier image of the Steiner circumellipse, is
(a-b-c) (a+b-c) (a-b+c) (a+b+c) x^2+(3 a^4-2 a^2 b^2+3 b^4-2 a^2 c^2-2 b^2 c^2+3 c^4) y z + (cyclic) = 0.
An equation for the ellipse E(X6), which is the Frégier image of the Steiner inellipse, is
(a^2 b^2+a^2 c^2+b^2 c^2) x^2 - (a^4+b^4+c^4) y z + (cyclic) = 0.
In general, the Frégier image of an ellipse is an ellipse; specifically, it is the dilation of the first ellipse by the following factor:(semiMajor^2-semiMinor^2)/(semiMajor^2+semiMinor^2).

X34453–X34466 — Points on the Apollonius circle
based on notes from Peter Moses, October, 2019. The excircles are tangent to the Apollonius circle and the nine-point circle. The centers of the excircles, therefore, lie on an ellipse, here named the Moses-Apollonius ellipse, that is the locus of the center of a (dynamic) circle tangent to the Apollonius and nine-point circles. An equation for this ellipse follows:
b^2*c^2*(a + b - c)*(a - b + c)*(b + c)^2*x^2 - 2*a^2*b*c*(a + b + c)*(a^3 - a^2*b - a*b^2 + b^3 - a^2*c + a*b*c - b^2*c - a*c^2 - b*c^2 + c^3)*y*z + (cyclic) = 0
The ellipse passes through the vertices of the vertices of the excentral triangle and Xi for these i: 5400, 34460, 34461, 34462, 34463, 34464, 34465 and has

The Bevan-antipodal triangle is also the anticevian triangle of X57. (Randy Hutson, January 17, 2020)
X34505–X34511 — Points of the Moses-Steiner osculatory triangle
based on notes from Peter Moses, October 19-22, 2019. Suppose that Γ is a curve that circumscribes a triangle ABC and that A', B' C' are the centers of the osculating circles at A, B, C, respectively. The triangle A'B'C' is here named the Moses-Γ osculatory triangle. If Γ = Steiner circumellipse, then A'B'C' is the Moses-Steiner osculatory triangle, for which
A' = -3 a^4+2 a^2 b^2-b^4+2 a^2 c^2+2 b^2 c^2-c^4 : a^2 (a^2+b^2-c^2) : a^2 (a^2-b^2+c^2)B' = b^2 (a^2+b^2-c^2) : -a^4+2 a^2 b^2-3 b^4+2 a^2 c^2+2 b^2 c^2-c^4 : b^2 (-a^2+b^2+c^2)C' = c^2 (a^2-b^2+c^2) : c^2 (-a^2+b^2+c^2) : -a^4+2 a^2 b^2-b^4+2 a^2 c^2+2 b^2 c^2-3 c^4,and the three osculating circles meet in the Steiner point, X99. If you have GeoGebra, you can view Moses-Steiner osculatory triangle (
Moses-Steiner%20osculatory.ggb).Let D be the point other than X99 in which the osculating circles and B and C meet, so that D is the reflection of X99 in the A-sideline of the Moses-Steiner osculatory triangle, and D is given by
D = a^2-b^2-c^2 : -a^2+b^2+2 c^2 : -a^2+2 b^2+c^2,
Define E and F cyclically. The triangle DEF is here named the Moses-Steiner reflection triangle. See X34512-X34514.
X34520–X34544 — Vu points
based on notes from Vu Thanh Tung and Vu Quoc My, October 24, 2019. Let P =\(p:q:r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let A' be the point, other than P, in which the line AP meets the circle (PBC), and define B' and C' cyclically; the triangle A'B'C' is called the circlecevian triangle of P with respect to triangle ABC by Floor van Lamoen ( Hyacinthos # 10039).
Let TA and TA' be the tangents to (PBC) at P and A', respectively.Let A1 = TA∩BC and A2 = TA'∩BC.Define B1 and C1 cyclically, and define B2 and C2 cyclically.Then A1,B1,C1 are collinear and A2,B2,C2 are collinear.The trilinear pole of the line B1C1 is given by Q1(P) = 1/(-a^2 q r + c^2 q (q + r) + b^2 r (q + r)) : : , here named the 1st Vu point of P.
The trilinear pole of the line B2C2 is given by Q2(P) = p^2 (-a^2 q r + c^2 q (q + r) + b^2 r (q + r)) : : , here named the 2nd Vu point of P.
Examples:
If P lies on the circumcircle, then Q1(P) is the trilinear pole of the tangent to the circumcircle at P, and Q2(P) = X6. (Randy Hutson, October 24, 2019)
Q2(P) is the X2-Ceva conjugate of the Dao image of P. (Randy Hutson, November 17, 2019)
X34551–X34562 — Bankoff equilateral triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 29, 2019. Let OA1A2, OB1B2, OC1C2 be three congruent equilateral triangles with the same orientation. Then the midpoints of A2B1, B2C1 and C2A1 are vertices of an equilateral triangle. (Martin Gardner, The Asymmetric Propeller, The College Mathematics Journal, Vol. 30, No. 1, Jan. 1999, pp. 18-22, based on the article by Leon Bankoff, Paul Erdös, and Murray Klamkin, The asymmetric propeller, Mathematics Magazine, 46: 5, 1973, pp 270-272)1 2.
Application: Let ABC be a triangle with circumcenter O. Centering at O, let Ab be the rotation of A toward B by an angle |π/6| and let Ac be the rotation of A toward C by the same angle |π/6| (triangle OAbAc is an equilateral triangle). Build (Bc, Ba) and (Ca, Cb) cyclically and let Am, Bm, Cm be the midpoints of BcCb, CaAc, AbBa, respectively. Then, by the precedent theorem, AmBmCm is equilateral.
The triangle AmBmCm will be named here the (ABC)-Bankoff equilateral triangle.
1 The original work by Bankoff, Erdös, and Klamkin refers to three equilateral triangles, not necessarily congruent, but with the same result, i.e, the indicated midpoints are vertices of another equilateral triangle. Martin Gardner added:
…The original propeller theorem goes back at least to the early 1930’s and is of unknown origin. It concerns three congruent equilateral triangles with corners meeting at a point as shown shaded in Figure 1. The triangles resemble the blades of a propeller.
…They showed that the three equilateral triangles need not be congruent. They can be of any size, as shown in Figure 2, and the theorem still holds.
… Later, Bankoff made three further generalizations. As far as I know they have not been published.
Second generalization: The propeller triangles need not meet at a point. They may meet at the corners of any equilateral triangle, as shown in Figure 3. Third generalization: The propeller triangles need not be equilateral! They need only be similar triangles of any sizes that meet at a point. The midpoints of the three added lines will then form a triangle similar to each of the propellers, as shown in Figure 4. Fourth generalization: The similar triangles need not meet at a point! If the propellers meet at the corners of a fourth triangle of any size, provided it is similar to each propeller, the midpoints of the added lines will form a triangle similar to each propeller. Vertices of the interior triangle must touch corresponding corners of the propellers.

X34585–X34593 — Points related to the circumellipse of the medial and incentral triangles
based on notes from Dasari Naga Vijay Krishna and Peter Moses, November, 2019. The circumellipse of the medial and incentral triangles (the CEMIT), given by the equation
b*c*x^2 - a*c*x*y - b*c*x*y + a*c*y^2 - a*b*x*z - b*c*x*z - a*b*y*z - a*c*y*z + a*b*z^2 = 0,
has center X1125 and perpsector X34585. The axes are parallel to the asymptotes of the Feuerbach hyperbola, and
The CEMIT passes through the following points:vertices of the medial trianglevertices of the incentral trianglevertices of the anti-Aquila triangleXi for these i: 11, 214, 244, 1015, 8054, 8299, 10494, 14714, 17417, 17419, 17421, 17761, 17793, 34586, 34587, 34588, 34589, 34590, 34591, 34592, 34593.If P = p:q;r lies on the circumcircle then the point \(f(P) = a (q c (a + c) + r b (a + b))\): : lies on the CEMIT. Inversely, if U lies on the CEMIT, then the point \(g(U) = (a (a + b) (a + c) (-u + v + w)\): : lies on the circumcircle.
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that f(Xi) = Xj: (99,1015), (100,244), (101,17761), (104,34586), (105,8299), (106,34587), (109,34589), (110,11), (741,17793), (759,214), (901,34590), (934,345191), (1113,34592), (1114,34593), (34594,8054).

X34603–X34752 — HR-ellipses
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 7, 2019. Let T'=A'B'C' and T″=A″B″C″ be two homothetic triangles. Denote (B'a, C'a) the reflections of B' and C' in A″, respectively, and define (C'b, A'b) and (A'c, B'c) cyclically. Then these six points lie on an ellipse here named the HR-ellipse of T’ to T” (letters H and R stands for homothetic and reflections). By swapping T' and T″, the HR-ellipse T″ to T' is found.
Suppose T' and T″ are homothetic to the reference triangle ABC, with H' = homothetic center (ABC, T') and H″=homothetic center (ABC, T″). Denote λ’=AA'/AH' and λ”=AA″/AH″. Then, if H', H″ have normalized barycentrics coordinates H' =\(x' : y' : z'\) and H″ = x” : y” : z”, the centers O', O″ of the HR-ellipses T' to T″ and T″ to T' are:
O' = (3*x’ - 1)*λ’ - 2*(3*x” - 1)*λ” - 1 : :
O″ = (3*x” - 1)*λ” - 2*(3*x’ - 1)*λ’ - 1 : :
In general, { H', H″, O' , O″} are aligned, then O' = complement-of-O″ with respect to T' and O″ = complement-of-O' with respect to T″.
X34773–X34795 — Ellipsologic centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 14, 2019. Let T'=A'B'C' and T″=A″B″C″ be two triangles. Denote as E'a the ellipse passing through A' and having foci B″ and C″. Define E'b and E'c cyclically. If theses three ellipses intersect in a unique point Q', then Q' is here named the ellipsologic center of T’ to T”.
Note: The existence of the ellipsologic center of T' to T″ does not imply the existence of the ellipsologic center of T″ to T'.
It is known that “if three conics are such that each pair has one common focus and two and only two real points of intersection, the three chords of visible intersection are concurrent” (E. Neville, “A focus-sharing set of three conics”, Mathematical Gazette 20(239) (1936) 182-183, and B. Lawrence, “Note on focus sharing conics”, Mathematical Gazette 21(243) (1937) 160-161.
The point of intersection, Qi, of the common chords mentioned above does not lie necessarily on any of the conics, but if it lies on one of the conics then it is obviously the intersection of the three conics. Lawrence gives the following interesting alternative construction of Qi:
Assume the major axes of the ellipses E'a, E'b, E'c are λa = A'B″+A'C″, λb = B'C″+B'A″ and λc = C'A″+C'B″ and suppose λc is the longest axis. If λ’a = λc - λb ≥ 0 and λ’b = λc - λa ≥ 0 then Qi is the point at distances λa*λ’a/(2*B″C″) and λb*λ’b/(2*C″A″) from the perpendicular bisectors of B″C″ and C″A″, respectively.
For definitions of these triangles see here (

In the preamble just before X15254 the conic is named the perspeconic of A’B’C’ and A’’B’’C’’.
The perspeconic of ABC and the circumcevian triangle of a point P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) is given by
a^2 q^2 r^2 (c^2 q+b^2 r) x^2-p q r (2 b^2 c^2 p^2+a^2 c^2 p q+a^2 b^2 p r+a^4 q r) y z + (cyclic) = 0,

perspector = p (2 b^2 c^2 p+2 a^2 c^2 q+a^2 b^2 r) (2 b^2 c^2 p+a^2 c^2 q+2 a^2 b^2 r) : :
If P lies inside ABC, the conic is an ellipse; otherwise, a hyperbola. As a degenerate case, if P lies on the circumcircle, then the conic is the line tangent to the circumcircle at P. If P is on the line X187X237, the conic consists of two lines that pass through X6.

If P lies on the circumcircle, then P' = P; if P lies on the line at infinity, then P' = X3.
If P lies on the Stammler circle, then P' lies on the circumcircle.
If P on the Euler line is given by P = g*X2 + h*X3, then P' = 9 a^2 b^2 c^2 g (g + h) X2 + (9 a^2 b^2 c^2 h (3 g + 2 h) + 4 (a^2 + b^2 + c^2) g^2 S^2) X3 .
If P on the line X1X3 is given by P = g*X1 + h*X3, then P' = g (g + h) R s X1 + (h (3 g + 2 h) R s + g^2 S) X3.

Let P be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, and let A' be the point, other than P, in which the line AP meets the circle (PBC). Define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is called the circlecevian triangle of P with respect to triangle ABC by Floor van Lamoen ( Hyacinthos # 10039).
Let I be the incenter of triangle ABC, and let A0 = BC∩IA'; define B0 and C0 cyclically. Then AA0, BB0, CC0 concur in a point, T(P), here named the Vu T-transform of P. Barycentrics are given by
T(P) = p / (b*c*p^2 + b*c*p* q + c^2*p*q + b^2*p*r + b*c*p*r + a^2*q*r) .

X34936–X34991 — Polar reciprocal conics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 24, 2019. Let K1, K2 be two conics (circles included) with centers O1 and O2, respectively. The locus of the poles with respect to K1 of the tangents to K2 is another conic Φ21 named the reciprocal polar conic of K2 with respect to K1. By swapping K1 and K2, the reciprocal polar conic Φ12 of K2 with respect to K1 is found.
The center of Φ21 is the pole, with respect to K1, of the polar of O1 wrt K2 and, similarly, the center of Φ12 is the pole, with respect to K2, of the polar of O2 wrt K1. (Reference: Eagles, T.H.: Constructive Geometry of Plane Curves, McMillan and Co, London, 1885. pp 201-202.)
X34992–X34999 — Perspectors involving circlecevian triangles

Let P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, and let A' be the point, other than P, in which the line AP meets the circle (PBC). Define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is called the circlecevian triangle of P with respect to triangle ABC by Floor van Lamoen ( Hyacinthos # 10039); see the preambles just before X34892 and X34914. The A-vertex of the circlecevian triangle of P is given by A' = -a^2 q r (p + q + r) : q (c^2 p q + b^2 p r + a^2 q r) : r (c^2 p q + b^2 p r + a^2 q r).

Example 1: Cip(X1) = X35, the circumcevian-inversion perspector of X1; also, Cip(X35000) = X35, so that X35000 is the secondary pre-circumcevian-inversion point of X1.
Example 2: Cip(X2) = X7496, the circumcevian-inversion perspector of X2; also, Cip(X35001) = X7496, so that X35001 is the secondary pre-circumcevian-inversion point of X2.
Example 3: Cip(X4) = X3520, the circumcevian-inversion perspector of X4; also, Cip(X18859) = X3520, so that X18859 is the secondary pre-circumcevian-inversion point of X4.

If P' lies on E(P), then E(P') = E(P). Moreover, if U =\(u : v : w\) is a point, other than P, then the point, other than P', in which the line UP' meets E(P), is here named the E(P,U)-antipode of P’, denoted by E(P,P',U) and given by

Suppose that a point \(f : g : h\) lies on the line at infinity (i.e., f + g + h = 0). Then the point \(f^{2} : g^{2} : h^{2}\) lies on the Steiner inellipse, E(X115). Conversely, if \(F^{2} : G^{2} : H^{2}\) lie on the ellipse, then the following six points lie on the line at infinity:
\(f : g : h\) \(g : h : f\) \(h : f : g\) \(f : h : g\) \(g : f : h\) \(h : g : f\)
where f, g, h are the positive square roots of F,G,H.

\(p : r : q\)\(q : p : r\)\(r : q : p\)The six points, corresponding to the permutations pqr, qrp, rpq, prq, qpr, rqp, lie on the permutation ellipse of P, as defined in the preamble just before X34341, given by
(q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
If P' lies on E(P), then E(P') = E(P). Moreover, if U =\(u : v : w\) is a point, other than P, then the point, other than P', in which the line UP' meets E(P), is the E(P,U)-antipode of P', as defined and formulated in the preamble just before X35025.
X36241–X36244 — Suren-Moses equilateral-triangle circumcevian-inversion points

X36256–X36295 — TC(Xi,Xj)-antipodes
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, January 13, 2020. In this paragraph, all coordinates are trilinears. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\). The trilinear permutation conic denoted by TC(P), is the conic that passes through the six points \(p : q : r\),\(q : r : p\),\(r : p : q\),\(p : r : q\),\(q : p : r\),\(r : q : p\). An equation for TC(P) is (q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
Thus, TC(P) is analogous, and symbolically identical to, the permutation ellipse E(P), defined in the preamble just before X34341.
Next, suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears). For the rest of this paragraph,\(p:q:r\) are trilinears, but all other coordinates, and the equation for TC(P), are in barycentric coordinates. The conic TC(P) passes through the six points \(ap : bq : cr\),\(aq : br : cp\),\(ar : bp : cq\),\(ap : br : cq\),\(aq : bp : cr\),\(ar : bq : cp\). (Note that these six points are not six permutations of \(ap: bq : cr\).) An equation for TC(P) is (q r + r p + p q)(b^2 c^2 x^2 + c^2 a^2 y^2 + a^2 b^2 z^2) - abc(p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(ayz + bzx + cxy) = 0.
The TC(P,U)-antipode of P is the point, other than P, in which the line PU meets TC(P), where
P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears) =\(ap : bq : cr\) (barycentrics)U =\(u : v : w\) (trilinears) =\(au : bv : cw\) (barycentrics)Barycentrics for TC(P,U)-antipode of P are \(f(a,b,c,p,q,r,u,v,w) : f(b,c,a,q,r,p,v,w,u) : f(c,a,b,r,p,q,w,u,v)\), where (see the preamble).

X36404–X36411 — Centers of TC conics
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, January 16, 2020. Trilinear permutation conics TC(P) are defined in the preamble just before X36256. Briefly, if P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears), then TC(P), is the conic that passes through the six points \(p : q : r\),\(q : r : p\),\(r : p : q\),\(p : r : q\),\(q : p : r\),\(r : q : p\). An equation for TC(P) is (q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
For the equivalent formulation using barycentrics, see the aforementioned preamble. If P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics), then the center of TC(P) is given by a(2a(q r + r p + p q) + (-a + b + c)(p^2 + q^2 + r^2)) : :

Let X =\(x : y : z\) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, let A'B'C'= circumcevian triangle of X, and let OA = circumcenter of triangle XBC; define OB and OC cyclically. The triangles OAOBOC and A'B'C' are perspective, and their perspector, on the circumcircle, is given by
V(X) = a^2 / (a^4 y (y - z) z + (b^2 - c^2) x^2 (c^2 y + b^2 z) + a^2 (-b^2 z (x^2 + 2 x z + y (y + z)) + c^2 y (x^2 + 2 x y + z (y + z)))) : :
Let X* denote the isogonal conjugate of X; then V(X*) = V(X), as in the following examples:

X36521–X36525 — Points on the Steiner Midellipse
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, January 21, 2020. The ellipse midway between the Steiner inellipse (SIE) and the Steiner circumellipse (SCE) is here named the Steiner Midellipse (SME). Specifically, for any X on SCE, let U = segment GX ^ CIE. Let M = midpoint of XUThen SME is the locus of M as X goes around SCE MSE is, like SIE and SCE, a permutation ellipse; ie., if P = pqr =\(p : q : r\) is on SME, then all six permutations, pqr, qrp, rpq, prq, qpr, rqp are on SME.Let G = X2 = centroid of ABC. If P is on SCE then the point given by the combo G + 3 P is on SME; likewise, if P is on SIE, then G - 3 P is on SIE. An equation for SME follows: 7 (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - 34 (y z + z x + x y) = 0.

X36598–X36650 — Cevian-circumconic triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 23, 2020. Let :g:`ABC << A B C >>` be a triangle, P a point, :g:`A’B’C’ << A’ B’ C’ >>` the :term:`cevian triangle <cevian-triangle>` of :g:`P <P>` and K a conic through :g:`A’ <A’>`, :g:`B’ <B’>`, :g:`C’ <C’>`. If :g:`A″ <A″>`, :g:`B″ <B″>`, :g:`C″ <C″>` are the points, others than :g:`A’ <A’>`, :g:`B’ <B’>`, :g:`C’ <C’>`, at which K cuts :g:`BC <[ B C ]>`, :g:`CA <[ C A ]>`, :g:`AB <[ A B ]>`, respectively, then :g:`AA″ <[ A A″ ]>`, :g:`BB″ <[ B B″ ]>`, :g:`CC″ <[ C C″ ]>` are concurrent.
If Pk is the perspector of K with respect to ABC, the triangle A″B″C″ is named here the (P, Pk)-cevian-circumconic triangle.
If P =\(x : y : z\) and Pk =\(x_{k} : y_{k} : z_{k}\) (barycentrics) then:
A″ = 0 : 1/(z*(\(x_{k}\)*y*z+x*y*\(z_{k}\)-3*x*\(y_{k}\)*z)) : 1/(y*(x*\(y_{k}\)*z+\(x_{k}\)*y*z-3*x*y*\(z_{k})\))
The perspector Q(P, Pk) of ABC and A″B″C″ is:
Q(P, Pk) = x*(\(x_{k}\)*y*z+x*y*\(z_{k}\)-3*x*\(y_{k}\)*z)*(x*\(y_{k}\)*z+\(x_{k}\)*y*z-3*x*y*\(z_{k})\) : :
If Pk = P then Q(P, Pk) = P = Pk.
If P = X2 then Q(P, Pk) is the isotomic conjugate-of-the anticomplement-of-the anticomplement-of-Pk.
As a cevian triangle with respect to ABC, A″B″C″ is perspective to these named anticevian triangles: anticomplementary, Bevan antipodal, excentral, Pelletier, Schroeter, Soddy, tangential, X-parabola-tangential.

X36761–X36788 — Largest-circumscribed-equilateral triangle
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, February 6, 2020. Consider all equilateral triangles AeBeCe circumscribing ABC and such that A lies between Be and Ce (1), B lies between Ce and Ae (2) and C lies between Ae and Be (3) (see note at the end of this preamble). The A-vertex of the largest AeBeCe is the antipode of X13 in the circle {{X13, B, C}}, and the other two vertices are found cyclically. If this triangle is denoted as A'B'C' then A' has barycentric coordinates:
A' = -6*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S*a^2 - (3*(a^2 + b^2 + c^2))*a^2 + 2*(b^2 - c^2)^2 :(7*b^2 + 2*c^2)*a^2 - 3*b^4 + 5*b^2*c^2 - 2*c^4 + 2*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S*(2*a^2 + b^2) :(7*c^2 + 2*b^2)*a^2 - 3*c^4 + 5*c^2*b^2 - 2*b^4 + 2*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S*(2*a^2 + c^2)The center of A'B'C' is X5463 and its squared-sidelength is 4*S*(cot(ω)+\(\sqrt{3}\))/3, where S and ω are double-area and Brocard angle of ABC, respectively.
A'B'C' is perspective to the ABC-X3-reflections-triangle and it is also homothetic to the other triangles in the following list, where the given number n means that the respective homothetor is X(n):
(ABC-X3 reflections, 36761), (Bankoff, 36762), (3rd Fermat-Dao, 36763), (7th Fermat-Dao, 36764), [and others]
Orthologic triangles to A'B'C' and orthologic centers:
(ABC, 5473, 13), (ABC-X3 reflections, 5473, 5473), (anti-Aquila, 5473, 11705), (anti-Ara, 5473, 12142), [and others]

Note: The centers of circles {{X13, B, C}}, {{X13, C, A}} and {{X13, A, B}} are the vertices of outer-Napoleon triangle, i.e., A'B'C' is the reflection triangle of X13 in the vertices of the outer-Napoleon triangle. A similar construction can be made using X14 and the inner-Napoleon triangle, but in this case, \(conditions ^{(1)}\), (2), (3) are not all satisfied at the same time.

Then the point D(P,U) = \(p^{2}\)u : \(q^{2}\)v : \(r^{2}\)w is on the inconic with perspector U. In particular, if U = X76, then D(P,U) lies on the inellipse having perspector X76 and center X141. This inellipse is the dual of the circumcircle.
Also, D(P,X76) is the barycentric quotient P*/P, where P*, the isogonal conjugate of P, lies on the circumcircle.

Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) lies on M(U). Let CM(P) denote the circumconic of the medial triangle that has center P. Theorem: if P lies on M(U), then U lies on CM(P).
The center of M(U) is 2u + v + w : 2v + w + u : 2 w + u + v .The perspector of M(U) is u/(\(u^{2}\) + vw + 3wu + 3uv) : v/(\(v^{2}\) + wu + 3uv + 3vw) : w/(\(w^{2}\) + uv + 3vw + 3uv).The appearance of (n,CM) in the following list means that the point U = Xn lies on the conic CM for every P on M(Xn):

X37743–X37746 — Points on the circumellipse with center X9
based on notes from Peter Moses, March 14, 2020. Dan Reznik has shown that the circumellipse ellipse with center X9 has many interesting geometric properties. As stated at X9, Let E be the circumellipse of T = ABC with center X9. Then ABC is a billiard orbit of E(3-periodic). If we fix E in the plane, all its triangular orbits (a set of “rotating” triangles T) have the same X9. Note that X9 is the point of concurrence of lines drawn from each excenter to the midpoint of the corresponding side of T. (Dan Reznik, June 30, 2019) See [1] Triangular Orbits in Elliptic Billiards: the Mittenpunkt X9 is stationary at the origin and [2] Triangular Orbits in Elliptic Billiards: the Mittenpunkt X9 is stationary at the origin. A particularly fine article is recommended: ‘Can the Ellliptic Billiard Still Surprise Us?’, by Dan Reznik, Ronaldo Garcia, and Jair Koiller, in Mathematical Intelligencer 42 (2020) 6-17. An online pdf is available: Click here.
Certain lines are mapped onto E by barycentric quotients:
If P lies on the line at infinity, then X1/P lies on E.If P lies on the circumcircle, then P/X1 lies on E.E = isogonal conjugate of the antiorthic axis.For further details regarding the circumellipse E, see X9. For more points on E, see X37202-X37223.
X37756–X37805 — Cyclologic centers
Contributed by Emmanuel José Garcia, March 27 - April 1, 2020. Let ABC be a triangle. Consider two points, P and Q, in the plane of ABC. Let PaPbPc and QaQbQc be the pedal triangles of P and Q, respectively. Let X, Y and Z be the orthogonal projections of P onto the sides QaQb, QbQc and QaQc, respectively. Then, PaPbPc and XYZ are cyclologic triangles. For a proof, see GeoDom: Cyclologic triangles.
The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that Xk is the cyclologic center of the pedal triangle of Xi with respect to Xj: (4,3,10151), (5,3,10615), (3,4,10257), (3,1,37743), (3,4,37744), (3,2,37745), (6,2,37746). (Peter Moses, April 3, 2020)
X37806–X37835 — Vu Poles
based on notes contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, April 5, 2020. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) are distinct points in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let
A0 = point of intersection, other than P, of the circles (PBC) and (PUA)A1 = AP∩BCA2 = point of intersection, other than A1, of the circle (PA0A1) and line BC, and define B2 and C2 cyclicallyThe points A2,B2,C2 are collinear; denote their line by v(P,U). Let
V(P,U) = trilinear pole of v(P,U). The point V(P,U) is here named the Vu pole of P and U.
Let P* and U* denote the isogonal conjugates of P and U, respectively. Then V(P,U) = V(U*,P*).
Examples:
[and others]Peter Moses (April 5, 2020) found that
V(P, U) = q r (a^2 (q r u (u+v+w) - p v w (p+q+r)) - b^2 p u (w (p+q) - r (u+v)) - c^2 p u (v (p+r) - q (u+w))) : :
and that if U is on the Euler line, then V(X2,U) is also on the Euler line. Specifically, if U is given by the combo X2 + k X3, then
V(X2, U) = (-a^2 - b^2 + c^2)(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2) + a^2 (3 a^4 - 3 b^4 + 4 b^2 c^2 - 3 c^4) + 3 k a^2 (a^4 - b^4 + b^2 c^2 - c^4) : :

The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that VT(Xi,Xj) = Xk: (1,5,37806), (2,1,37807), (2,3,37808), (2,4,37809), (2,5,37810), (2,6,37811), (3,1,37812), (3,2,37813), (3,4,37814), (1,11,37815), [and others]
X37869–X37880 — Antigonal images
based on notes contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, April 9, 2020. Let P =\(p:q:r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let A' be the point, other than P, in which the line AP meets the circle (PBC), and define B' and C' cyclically; the triangle A'B'C' is called the circlecevian triangle of P with respect to triangle ABC by Floor van Lamoen (Hyacinthos #10039); see the preambles just before X34520 and X34892.
Assume that P is not X4, and let A″ = reflection of A' in line BC, and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The lines AA″, BB″,CC″ concur in a point IA(P), and A″B″C″ is the circlecevian triangle of IA(P) with respect to ABC. The point IA(P) is the antigonal image of P; for a definition see the Glossary of ETC, where it is noted that.
IA(P) = p / ( a^2 (p + q) (p + r) - b^2 p (p + q) - c^2 p (p + r) ) : :
Note that IA(IA(P)) = P, and that IA(P) lies on the rectangular hyperbola passing through these five points: A, B, C, P, X4.

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, April 18-19, 2020. If X is a point on the Euler line, then the circumcircle-inverse of X is on the Euler line. In addition to the 4877 triangle centers on the Euler line that are listed in the Central Lines page (accessible via Tables at the top of this page), this section introduces 85 more.
The appearance of {i,j} in the following list means that Xi and Xj are a pair of circumcircle-inverses on the Euler line: {2,23), (3,30), (4,186), (5,2070), (20,2071), (21,1325), (22,858), (24,403), (25,468), (26,2072), (27,2073), (28,2074), (29,2075), (140,5899), (199,33329), (235,37917), (237,1316), (297,36176), (376,7464), (378,10295), (381,7575), (382,15646), (384,37896), (401,37918), (404,37919), (427,21284), (428,37920), [and others].

X38001–X38002 — Stationary points of Hutson right hyperbolas
conributed by Clark Kimberling, based on notes from Randy Hutson and Peter Moses, April 26, 2020. The following note is copied from X37904. “Let P and P' be circumcircle antipodes. Let Q be the midpoint of X2 and P. Let Q' be the midpoint of X2 and P'. The rectangular hyperbola passing through P, P', Q, Q' has center X37904 for all P. (Randy Hutson, April 24, 2020)”.
There are two stationary points on the family of Hutson rectangular hyperbolas, and on the Euler line, as can be seen by dragging P around the circumcircle in this GeoGebra diagram: Hutson Right Hyperbolas (
HutsonRightHyperbolas.ggb). (Peter Moses, April 26, 2020)Let HRH(P) denote the Hutson right hyperbola of P.HRH(X74 passes through Xi for these i: 74, 110, 2574, 2575, 2930, 5642, 5646, 38001, 38002.HRH(X98) passes through Xi for these i: 98, 99, 2482, 6055, 38001, 38002.HRH(X111) passes through Xi for these i: 111, 1296, 9172, 33900, 38001, 38002.For P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) on the circumcircle, let
\(h(a,b,c,p,q,r,x,y,z) = (a^{2} - 5 b^{2} - 5 c^{2}) \cdot (2 a^{2} b^{2} c^{2} p (-q + r) - c^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2} - c^{2}) \cdot (a^{2} + c^{2}) q^{2} - 2 b^{2} (b^{2} - c^{2}) c^{2} q r + b^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2}) \cdot (a^{2} - b^{2} + c^{2}) r^{2}) x^{2} - (a^{4} - b^{4} + 10 b^{2} c^{2} - c^{4}) \cdot ((b^{4} - c^{4}) p^{2} + 2 a^{2} p (b^{2} q - c^{2} r) + a^{2} (a^{2} + c^{2}) q^{2} - a^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2}) r^{2}) y z\)
An equation for HRH(P) is
h(a,b,c,p,q,r,x,y,z) + H(b,c,a,q,r,p,y,z,x) + \(H(c,a,b,r,p,q,z,x,y) = 0\).
The family of Hutson right hyperbolas can be generalized by replacing X2 in the definition of HRH(P) by U =\(u : v : w\). Let
\(H(a,b,c,u,v,w,p,q,r,x,y,z) = (c^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2} - c^{2}) \cdot (a^{2} + c^{2}) q^{2} + 2 a^{2} b^{2} c^{2} p (q - r) + 2 b^{2} c^{2} (b^{2} - c^{2}) q r - b^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2}) \cdot (a^{2} - b^{2} + c^{2}) r^{2}) \cdot (c^{2} u v + 2 c^{2} v^{2} + b^{2} u w - (a^{2} - 2 b^{2} - 2 c^{2}) v w + 2 b^{2} w^{2}) x^{2} - ((b^{4} - c^{4}) p^{2} + a^{2} (a^{2} + c^{2}) q^{2} - a^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2}) r^{2} + 2 a^{2} p (b^{2} q - c^{2} r)) \cdot (4 b^{2} c^{2} u^{2} + c^{2} (a^{2} + 3 b^{2} - c^{2}) u v + b^{2} (a^{2} - b^{2} + 3 c^{2}) u w + a^{2} (a^{2} - b^{2} - c^{2}) v w) y z\)
Then the general right hyperbola is given by
H(a,b,c,u,v,w,p,q,r,x,y,z) + h(b,c,a,v,w,u,q,r,p,y,z,x) + \(h(c,a,b,w,u,v,r,p,q,z,x,y) = 0\),
with the following point, independent of P, as center:
4*a^2*b^2*c^2*u^3 + c^2*(4*a^4 + 3*a^2*b^2 + b^4 - 5*a^2*c^2 - 2*b^2*c^2 + c^4)*u^2*v + a^2*c^2*(3*a^2 + b^2 - 3*c^2)*u*v^2 + b^2*(4*a^4 - 5*a^2*b^2 + b^4 + 3*a^2*c^2 - 2*b^2*c^2 + c^4)*u^2*w + 2*a^2*(2*a^4 - a^2*b^2 - b^4 - a^2*c^2 - c^4)*u*v*w + 3*a^4*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*v^2*w + a^2*b^2*(3*a^2 - 3*b^2 + c^2)*u*w^2 + 3*a^4*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*v*w^2 : : ,
and two stationary points on the line UX3. The midpoint of the two points is the center of the hyperbola. As an example, for U = X4, the center is X468 and the stationary points are X5000 and X5001, and if P = X74, then the hyperbola is the Walsmith rectangular hyperbola. (Peter Moses, April 26, 2020)
The general hyperbola is denoted by (U,P)-MHRH and here named the (U,P)-Moses-Hutson right hyperbola. For further examples, see X38010-X38014.

X38017–X38020 — Foci of circumparabolas
:based on notes from Peter Moses and Randy Hutson, April 28-29, 2020. Suppose that one focus of a circumparabola is P =\(p : q : r\) on the line at infinity. Then the other focus lies on the circumparabolas foci quintic, Q077 and is given by
p*((-a^2 + b^2 + c^2)*p^2*q*r - a^2*q^2*r^2 + b^2*r^2*p^2 + c^2*p^2*q^2): :
The circumparabola, given by
p(q + r) y z + q( r + p ) z x + r( p + q) = 0
is the isogonal conjugate of the line tangent to the circumcircle at the isogonal conjugate of P.
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that Xi is on the line at infinity and Xj is the corresponding focus of a circumparabola: (30,38246), (512,38017), (513,38018), (514,38019), (523,12064), (524,38020), (525,38233). (Peter Moses, April 29, 2020)

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, April 28, 2020. This section includes centroids of triangles {Xi, Xj, Xk}, with i < j< k ≤ 12 and some triangles with vertices X13 to X18. The following list shows centroids of triangles in the above range but not given in this section. The appearance of (i, j, k, n) in this list means that the centroid of trinagle {Xi, Xj, Xk} is Xn: (1, 2, 3, 3653), (1, 2, 8, 19875), (1, 2, 10, 19883), (1, 3, 4, 5886), (1, 3, 8, 26446), (1, 3, 10, 10165), (1, 4, 8, 5587), (1, 4, 10, 3817), (1, 4, 20, 3576), (1, 5, 10, 11230), (1, 8, 10, 10), (1, 8, 11, 34122), (1, 8, 20, 165), (1, 10, 11, 32557), (2, 3, 4, 5055), (2, 3, 5, 11539), [and others]
X38247–X38304 — Vu-Lozada QA-points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 1, 2020. The following theorem is enunciated in the preamble just before X36598:
Let :g:`ABC << A B C >>` be a triangle, P a point, :g:`A’B’C’ << A’ B’ C’ >>` the :term:`cevian triangle <cevian-triangle>` of :g:`P <P>` and ℭ a conic through :g:`A’ <A’>`, :g:`B’ <B’>`, :g:`C’ <C’>`. If :g:`A″ <A″>`, :g:`B″ <B″>`, :g:`C″ <C″>` are the points, others than :g:`A’ <A’>`, :g:`B’ <B’>`, :g:`C’ <C’>`, at which ℭ cuts :g:`BC <[ B C ]>`, :g:`CA <[ C A ]>`, :g:`AB <[ A B ]>`, respectively, then :g:`AA″ <[ A A″ ]>`, :g:`BB″ <[ B B″ ]>`, :g:`CC″ <[ C C″ ]>` concur.
It is also written in that preamble that if P =\(x : y : z\) and ℭ has perspector X' =\(x' : y' : z'\) with respect to ABC (barycentrics), then the triangles ABC and A″B″C″ have perspector Q(P, X') = x (x’ y z + x (z’ y - 3 y’ z)) (x’ y z + x (y’ z - 3 z’ y)) : :
Vu Thanh Tung observed that if the previous construction is applied to a quadrangle P1P2P3P4 and every Qi is calculated as above in the triangle PjPkPℓ, then the four lines PnQn are also concurrent (Quadri-and-Poly-Geometry #243). César Lozada found that this point of concurrence T(P, X') has barycentrics coordinates:
T(P, X') = x’ (x’ y z + x (y’ z - 3 z’ y)) (x’ y z + x (z’ y - 3 y’ z)) : : . The point T(P, X') is nere named the Vu-Lozada QA-point of (P, X’). Notes:
If P = X' or P lies on the ABC-circumconic with perspector X' then T(P, X') = P. If X' = X2 then T(P, X') = IsotomicConjugate(Anticomplement(Anticomplement(IsotomicConjugate(P)))). If X' = X4 then T(P, X') = PolarConjugate(Anticomplement(Anticomplement(PolarConjugate(P)))). If X' = X6 then T(P, X') = IsogonalConjugate(Anticomplement(Anticomplement(IsogonalConjugate(P)))).
The appearance of (i, j, n) in the following list means that the Vu-Lozada QA-point of (Xi, Xj) is Xn:(1, 2, 38247), (1, 3, 38248), (1, 4, 38249), (1, 6, 3445), (1, 7, 38250), (1, 8, 38251), (1, 31, 38252), (2, 1, 8056), (2, 3, 1073), (2, 4, 38253), (2, 6, 8770), (2, 7, 38254), (2, 8, 38255), (2, 111, 38280), (3, 1, 36600) [and others]

X38310–X38313 — Points Associated with generalized Paasche conics
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, May 4, 2020. As stated at X37861, if P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics) are triangle centers having the same degree of homogeneity in a,b,c, then the (p,u)-generalized Paasche conic, GPC(p,u), is the conic that passes through these six \(points: 0 : r\) : w,\(0 : v : q\),\(u : 0 : p\),\(r : 0 : w\),\(q : v : 0\),\(u : p : 0\) and is given by the equation p v w x^2 + q w u y^2 + r u v z^2 - (q r u + u v w) y z - (r p v + u v w) z x - (p q w + u v w) x y = 0.
The perspector of GPC(p,u) is the barycentric quotient P/U = p v w : q w u : r u v, and the center of GPC(p,u) is 2 p^2 v^2 w^2 - u v w (2 p q r + 2 q r u + 2 p r v + 2 p q w + r u v + q u w) : :
Note, for example, that GPC(p,2u) is not the same conic as GPC(p,u); i.e., the definition of generalized Paasche conic depends on the representations of centers P and U. Nevertheless, we write GPC(P,U) instead of GPC(p,u) in cases where p and u are the first barycentrics as shown in ETC; in particular, this is the case when p and u are polynomials in a,b,c with relatively prime coefficients that agree in parity. Examples of this kind include the following:
Degree 2 of homogeneity:
Degree 3 of homogeneity:
GPC(p,u} passes through \(u : v : w\) if q r + r p + p q + v w + w u + u v = p u + q v + r w.

As noted at X37861, César Lozada observed that the Paasche inner conic (i.e., the Paasche ellipse), passes through the points indicated by the notation GCP(1,sin A). To generalize, the locus of the center of GCP(t, sinA) as t goes through the real numbers is the quartic curve given by
a*b*(b - c)^2*c*x^4 + 2*(a - b)*b*(a - 2*c)*(b - c)*c*x^3*y + a*b*c*(a^2 - 4*a*b + b^2 + 2*a*c + 2*b*c - 2*c^2)*x^2*y^2 - 2*a*(a - b)*(b - 2*c)*(a - c)*c*x*y^3 + a*b*(a - c)^2*c*y^4 - 2*(a - 2*b)*b*(a - c)*(b - c)*c*x^3*z - 2*a*b*c*(a^2 - a*b + b^2 - a*c - b*c + c^2)*x^2*y*z - 2*a*b*c*(a^2 - a*b + b^2 - a*c - b*c + c^2)*x*y^2*z + 2*a*(2*a - b)*(a - c)*(b - c)*c*y^3*z + a*b*c*(a^2 + 2*a*b - 2*b^2 - 4*a*c + 2*b*c + c^2)*x^2*z^2 - 2*a*b*c*(a^2 - a*b + b^2 - a*c - b*c + c^2)*x*y*z^2 - a*b*c*(2*a^2 - 2*a*b - b^2 - 2*a*c + 4*b*c - c^2)*y^2*z^2 + 2*a*(a - b)*b*(a - c)*(2*b - c)*x*z^3 - 2*a*(a - b)*b*(2*a - c)*(b - c)*y*z^3 + a*(a - b)^2*b*c*z^4 = 0.

X38344–X38429 — Equicenters: X38344-X38429
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 10, 2020. Let A'B'C' and A″B″C″ be triangles inscribed in ABC. The affine transformation sending A' to A″, B' to B″, C' to C″ has a fixed point E named the equicenter of triangles A'B'C' and A″B″C″. (Reference: The Triangle Web by Quim Castellsaguer).
The fixed point E is unique, and if T' and T″ are homothetic, then E is their homothetic center.
The equicenter of the affine transformation sending (A', B', C') to (A″, B″, C″) coincides with the equicenter of the inverse affine transformation sending (A″, B″, C″) to (A', B', C'). Therefore, the equicenter of T' and T″ may be referred simply as the equicenter of triangles T’ and T”, regardless of the order in which the triangles are listed.
The equicenter of T' and T″ is also the similarity image of T' and T″..
Some particular results:
If normalized barycentric coordinates of A', B', C' are A' =\(x_{a} : y_{a} : z_{a}\) and B' =\(x_{b} : y_{b} : z_{b}\) : C' =\(x_{c} : y_{c} : z_{c}\), then the equicenter of ABC and A'B'C' is given by
Ed(ABC, A'B'C') = \(x_{b}\) \(x_{c}\) + \(x_{b}\) \(y_{c}\) + \(x_{c}\) \(z_{b}\) : :
Suppose that X =\(x : y : z\) and U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics). If TX = cevian-of-X and TU = cevian-of-U, then E(TX, TU) = x u (y w - z v) ((y - z) u - (x + z) v + (x + y) w) : :
For a list of equicenters related to ABC see here (
./X38344List.txt). Also, definitions of triangles mentioned can be found in the index of triangles (IndexOfTrianglesReferencedInETC.html).Open problem: give a geometric construction of the equicenter of two arbitrary triangles.
Indeed, on October 29, 2005, François Rideau provided and proved a method, based strictly on intersections of lines, for constructing the fixed point of an affine transformation (see Francois Rideau - Les points fixes d’une application affine.pdf (
Francois%20Rideau%20-%20Les%20points%20fixes%20d%27une%20application%20affine.pdf) (in French)). This is his construction:Given two non-homothetic triangles :g:`A’B’C’ << A’ B’ C’ >>` and :g:`A″B″C″ << A″ B″ C″ >>` and the affine transformation ƒ({ A', B', C' }) → { A″, B″, C″ }, we complete the parallelograms A’B’:g:`C’D’ <[ C’ D’ ]>` and A”B”:g:`C″D″ <[ C″ D″ ]>`; i.e., :g:`D’ <D’>` is the reflection of :g:`B’ <B’>` in the midpoint of segment :g:`A’C’ <[ A’ C’ ]>` and :g:`D″ <D″>` is the reflection of :g:`B″ <B″>` in the midpoint of segment :g:`A″C″ <[ A″ C″ ]>`. Let A* = A'B' ∩ A″B″, B* = B'C' ∩ B″C″, C* = C'D' ∩ C″D″, D* = D'A' ∩ D″A″. Then the fixed point M of the affine transformation ƒ is M = A*C* ∩ B*D*.
Additionally, Rideau provided a very simple method for finding ƒ(X) of a given point X: let U = A*B* ∩ parallelLine(X, A'B') and V = B*D* ∩ parallelLine(X, A'D'). Then ƒ(X) = parallelLine(U, A″B″) ∩ parallelLine(V, A″D″).
Many thanks to Francisco Javier García Capitán for his notes with simplifications of Rideua conclusions and to Angel Montesdeoca for sending me these notes. (César Lozada, January 26, 2021.)

X38433–X38449 — Points associated with Vu (k)-conics
based on notes from Vu Thanh Tung, May 13-14, 2020 and Peter Moses, May 13, 2020. Suppose that 0 < k < π/2. Let A' and A″ be the points on line BC such that |AA'| = |AA″| and angle A'AA″ has measure 2k. Likewise, let B' and B″ on CA and C' and C″ on AB be the points such that the triangles B'BB″ and C'CC″ are similar to A'AA″. Then the points A', A″, B', B″, C', C″ lie on a conic, here named the Vu (k)-conic. Peter Moses found that these conics all have center X6 and that the perspector, V(k), of the Vu (k)-conic is given by
V(k) = 1/((a^2 - b^2 - c^2)^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*Cos[k]^2 - 4*(a^4 - b^4 - c^4)*S^2*Sin[k]^2) : : (barycentrics)
Moses also found that he ratio of minor axis to major axis is \(\sqrt{(J-1) (J+3) / ((J-3) (J+1))}\), where J = |OH|/R, as at X1113.
Accordingly, the isotomic conjugate, T(k), and the isogonal conjugate, U(k), are given by
T(k) = (a^2 - b^2 - c^2)^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*Cos[k]^2 - 4*(a^4 - b^4 - c^4)*S^2*Sin[k]^2 : :
U(k) = a^2 ((a^2 - b^2 - c^2)^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*Cos[k]^2 - 4*(a^4 - b^4 - c^4)*S^2*Sin[k]^2) : :
U(k) lies on the Euler line.X6145 = perspector of the Vu (π/4) conic, and X18434 = perspector of the Vu (π/6) conic.
For every real number x, the perspector of the Vu (acrctan(x))-conic is
1/((a^2 - b^2 - c^2)^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2) - 4*(a^4 - b^4 - c^4)*S^2*x^2) : : , with isogonal conjugate

X38723–X38870 — Circum-Euler-points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 28, 2020. The centroids of the four triangles determined by four concyclic points are concyclic. . (Reference: Halsted, George Bruce, Elementary Synthetic Geometry, 1892, problem 24, pp. 84.) Indeed, the above result is true for other points distinct from the centroids, although the exact locus is still unknown.
Part of this locus is as follows: let Q be a point on the circumcircle of ABC and P a point on the Euler line of ABC such that |OP|/|OH| = λ, λ being a real number not depending on ABC. Denote Pa = P-of-QBC, Pb = P-of-QCA and Pc = P-of-QAB. Then the points P, Pa, Pb, Pc are concyclic on a circle with radius r’ = |λ| R and whose center O'(Q, P) is here named the Q-circum-Euler-point of P. In this case, O'(Q, P) = λ (Q + X4) + (1 - 2 λ) X3, and it lies on the line {X3, midpoint(X4, Q) }. Moreover, when P is fixed and Q varies, the locus of O'(Q, P) is another circle with the same radius r’ and center P.
There are other P such that P, Pa, Pb, Pc are concyclic. A numerical calculus shows that a partial list of such points contains P=Xn for n ∈ {1, 13, 14, 15, 16, 23, 26, 36, 40, 80, 125, 155, 165, 186, 265, 368, 369, 370, 399, 1144, 1147, 1385, 1482, 1511, 1658, 2070, 2071, 2072, 2077, 3167, 3232, 3576, 3579, 5159, 5373, 5394, 5473, 5474, 5537, 5609, 5611, 5615, 5626, 5899, 5961, 5962, 5963, 5964, 6104, 6105, 6699, 6771, 6774, 7387, 7464, 7575, 7689, 7982, 7987, 7991, 8008, 8009, 8148, 8697, 9909} (n<10000). When P=X1, P, Pa, Pb, Pc are vertices of a rectangle.
Curiously, when P=X15 and Q varies, the locus of O'(Q,P) are the sides of a central triangle having A-vertex with barycentric coordinates A' = (\(\sqrt{3}\)*S+SA)*(SB+SC): S^2-SA*SC : S^2-SA*SB. This triangle is perspective to the following triangles with perspector X3: (ABC, ABC-X3 reflections, 2nd anti-extouch, 2nd Hyacinth, Lucas antipodal(±1), Lucas central(±1), X3-ABC reflections). It is also perspective to the following triangles with the given perspectors: (circumsymmedial, 11485), (outer-Le Viet An, 3129), (symmedial, 61), (tangential, 22236). A similar locus does not occur for P=X16.
The following table contains the Q-circum-Euler-point of P for selected P and Q [table omitted here].

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, June 7, 2020. Let P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. The Vu perspectivies triangle of P, here denoted by T(P), is introduced in the preamble just before X38825. The A-vertex is given by
a^2*(p + q)*(p + r) : b^2*(q - r)*(p + q) : c^2*(r - q)*(p + r) : :
T(P) is perspective to the anticomplementary triangle for every P on the de Longchamps axis (a^2 x + b^2 y + c^2 z = 0).
T(P) is perspective to the anticomplementary triangle for every P on the following conic:
a^2(b^2 - c^2)x^2 + b^2(c^2 - a^2)y^2 + c^2(a^2 - b^2)z^2 = 0, this being the anticomplement of the conic {{A, B, C, X2, X6}}, which passes through Xi for these i: 2, 69, 75, 1272, 1369, 1370, 6527, 14360, 17135, 17149, 18133, 18750, 19583, 20245, 20351, 20934, 22339, 22340, 25332, 30698, 32747.

X38957–X39102 — Crosssums of circumcircle-P-antipodes and line intercepts
contributed by Randy Hutson, June 17, 2020. Let P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of triangle ABC. Let P' be the isogonal conjugate of P. Then the locus of the crosssum of circumcircle-P-antipodes is the bicevian conic of X2 and P', with center 2 a^2/p + b^2/q + c^2/r : :. For example, the locus of the crosssum of circumcircle antipodes is the nine-point circle, which is the bicevian conic of X2 and X4, and the locus of the crosssum of circumcircle-X6-antipodes is the Steiner inellipse, which is the limit of the bicevian conic of X2 and Q as Q approaches X2.
Let L be a line. The crosssum of the (real or nonreal) circumcircle-intercepts of L is the X2-Ceva conjugate of the crossdifference of every pair of points on L, and is the center of the circumconic that is the isogonal conjugate of L. If L passes through X3, then the crosssum is also the orthopole of L, and lies on the cevian circle of the isogonal conjugate of every point on L.

X39210–X39228 — Centers of Vietnamese circles
:contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, July 4, 2020. Suppose that T1 = U1V1W1 and T2 = U2V2W2 are triangles and that T1 is not perspective to T2. Let UVW be the vertex triangle of T1 and T2. Let LU = radical axis to the circles (UV1W1) and (UV2W2), and define LV and LW cyclically.
The lines LU, LV, LW concur in a point Vn(T1,T2), the Vietnamese point of T1 and T2, denoted by Vn(T1, T2), introduced in the preamble just before X39177. Continuing, let U0 be the point, other than U, in which the circles (UV1W1) and (UV2W2) intersect and define V0 and W0 cyclically. Let Mi be the Miquel point of Ti for i = 1, 2; e.g.,
M1 = (UV1W1)∩(UV1W1)∩(U1V1W).
The six points U0,V0,W0,M1,M2,Vn lie on a circle, here named the Vietnamese circle of T1 and T2, denoted by v(T1,T2). The center of this circle is denoted by Vo(T1,T2).
See Vietnamese Circle (
VietnameseCircle.pdf).If P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) are distinct with distinct circumcevian triangles T1, T2 then v(T1,T2) passes through the circumcenter, O, and is the circumcircle-inverse of the line PU. If P, U, O are collinear then v(T1,T2) is the circle of infinite radius - that is, the line at infinity, and Vo(T1,T2) = O.
If T1 = cevian triangle of P, and T2 = cevian triangle of U, then the appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that the center of the Vietnamese circle of the cevian triangle of Xi and the cevian triangle of Xj is Xk: (2,3,37084), (3,4,15451), (2,4,523)
The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that center of the Vietnamese circle of the anticevian triangle of Xi and the anticevian triangle of Xj is Xk: (1,2,2957), (2,6,30715)

X39274–X39287 — Trilinear poles of Vietnamese lines
contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, July 19, 2020. Suppose that T = U1V1W1, T = U2V2W2, T = U3V3W3 are triangles such that U1,U2,U3 are collinear, V1,V2,V3 are collinear, and W1, W2, W3 are collinear, so that the three pairs {T2,T3}, {T3,T1}, {T1,T2} have the same vertex triangle.
Theorem: The Vietnamese points (defined in the preamble just before X39177) of the three pairs {T2,T3}, {T3,T1}, {T1,T2} are collinear.
Corollary: Let TP, TU, TX be the cevian triangles of points P =\(p : q : r\), U =\(u : v : w\), X =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics). Then the three Vietnamese points of the three pairs {TP,TU}, {TU,TX}, {TX,TP}} lie on a line L'(P,U,X), here named the Vietnamese line of {P,U,X}, of which the trilinear pole is given by [coordinates omitted here].

X39311–X39334 — Points associated with Paasche triangles
contributed by Dasari Naga Vijay Krishna, July 24, 2020. In the preambles just before X37994 and X38487 we define points labeled as Ab, Ac, Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb , A'b, A'c, B'c, B'a, C'a, C'b . Here, we define six more points, A’’b, A’’c, B’’c, B’’a, C’’a, C’’b as the respective reflections of Ab, Ac, Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb in the vertices A, B, C.; e.g., A’’b = Ab in B, and A’’c = reflection of Ac in C, etc.
Barycentrics for the 6 points are as follows:
A”b = 0 : 2R+2c : -cA”c =\(0 : -b : 2R\)+2bB”c= \(-a : 0 : 2R\)+2aB”a = 2R+\(2c : 0 : -c\)C’’a = 2R+\(2b : -b : 0\)C’’b = -a : 2R+2a : 0It is easy to verify that the 6 points, A”b , A”c, B”c, B”a, C’’a, C’’b, lie on an ellipse, here named the Paasche Reflection Ellipse (PRE), given by the barycentric equation
2 b c (R + a) x^2 + 2 c a (R + b) y^2 + 2 a b (R + c) z^2 + a (4 R^2 + 4 R b + 4 R c + 5 b c) y z + b (4 R^2 + 4 R c + 4 R c + 5 c a) x z + c (4 R^2 + 4 R a + 4 R b + 5 a b ) x y = 0.
The center of the PRE is
X39311 = a(16R^4(b+c-a)+16R^3(b+c)(-a+b+c)+4R^2bc(-4a+5b+5c)+8Rb^2c^2+ab^2c^2) : :
The PRE is a “Kimberling generalized Paasche conic” given by (p,q,r) = (2(R+a),2(R+b),2(R+c)) and (u,v,w) = (-a,-b,-c); see the preamble just before X38310.

X39335–X39344 — Points on the conic TC(X1054)
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 24-25, 2020. This preamble extends the preamble just before X36256, in which, for a point P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears), the trilinear permutation conic denoted by TC(P), is defined as the conic that passes through the six points
\(p : q : r\),\(q : r : p\),\(r : p : q\),\(p : r : q\),\(q : p : r\),\(r : q : p\).
An equation for TC(P) is (q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
Thus, TC(P) is analogous, and symbolically identical, to the permutation ellipse E(P), defined in the preamble just before X34341.
Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinears). For the rest of this paragraph,\(p:q:r\) are trilinears, but all other coordinates, and the equation for TC(P), are in barycentric coordinates. The conic TC(P) passes through the six points
\(ap : bq : cr\),\(aq : br : cp\),\(ar : bp : cq\),\(ap : br : cq\),\(aq : bp : cr\),\(ar : bq : cp\).
(Note that these six points are not six permutations of \(ap : bq : cr\).)
An equation for TC(P) is (q r + r p + p q)(b^2 c^2 x^2 + c^2 a^2 y^2 + a^2 b^2 z^2) - abc(p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(ayz + bzx + cxy) = 0.
The conic TC(X1054), given by the trilinear equation x^2 + 3 y z + (cyclic) = 0. Define \(f(x,y,z) = (x-y)(x-z) - (y-z)^{2}\). If X =\(x : y : z\) (trilinears) is a point other than X1 =\(1:1:1\) then the point F(X) =\(f(x,y,z) : f(y,z,x) : f(z,x,y)\) is on TC(X1054).
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the point F(Xi) = Xj is on TC(X1054):
(2,9359), (4,2636), (6,1054), (19,2639), (31,2640), (100,9324), (171,9355), .
Let f(\(x : y : z\)) = (x - y)(x - z) - (y - z)^2. If X =\(x : y : z\) and X' = x’ : y ‘ : z’ are collinear with X1, then f(X') = f(X), on TC(X1054).
If P is on the anti-orthic axis, (the line X44 X513), then the P-Ceva conjugate of X1 is on TC(X1054.
The excenters, with trilinears \(-1:1:1\),\(1:-1:1\),\(1:1:-1\), also lie on TC(X1054). Let EC denote the circumconic of ABC that passes through the excenters, so that EC is given by the barycentric equation
g(a,b,c) y z + g(b,c,a) z x + g(c,a,b) yz = 0, where \(g(a,b,c) = (a^{2} + b^{2} - c^{2})(a^{2} - b^{2} + c^{2})\).
EC passes through Xi for i = 107, 648, 653, 685, 687, 1897, 6330, 6331, 6335, 6336, 8764, 13149, 15352, 15459, 16080, 16081, 16082, 16813, 17983, 30450, 36306, 36309, 38342. Six examples follow:
X39345–X39368 — Points on the permutation ellipse E(X4440)
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 25-28, 2020. This preamble extends the preamble just before X34341, in which, for a point P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics), the barycentric permutation ellipse denoted by E(P), is defined as the ellipse that passes through these six points:
\(p : q : r\),\(q : r : p\),\(r : p : q\),\(p : r : q\),\(q : p : r\),\(r : q : p\).
An equation for E(P) is (q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
Thus, TC(P) is analogous, and symbolically identical to, the trilinear permutation conic TC(P), defined and discussed in the preambles just before X36256 and X39335.
The ellipse E(X4440), is given by the barycentric equation x^2 + 3 y z + (cyclic) = 0. Define \(f(x,y,z) = (x-y)(x-z) - (y-z)^{2}\). If X =\(x : y : z\) (trilinears) is a point other than X2 =\(1:1:1\) then the point F(X) =\(f(x,y,z) : f(y,z,x) : f(z,x,y)\) is on E(X4440).
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the point F(Xi) = Xj is on E(X4440):
(1,4440), (3,39352), (6,148), (11,39353), (31,39345), (32,39346), (63, 39351), (75,9263), (76,25054), (192,9263), (561,39347), (514,17486), (523,8591), (594,39348), (649,39354), (1086,39349), (693,39350)
The vertices \(-1:1:1\),\(1:-1:1\),\(1:1:-1\) of the anticomplementary triangle also lie on E(X4440), so that this ellipse is the anticomplement of the Steiner circumellipse.
Let f(\(x : y : z\)) = (x - y)(x - z) - (y - z)^2. If X =\(x : y : z\) and X' = x’ : y ‘ : z’ are collinear with X2, then f(X') = f(X), on E(X4440). Example: if X is on the Euler line (but is not X2), then f(X) = X39352.
If P is on the line at infinity, then the P-Ceva conjugate of X2, which is also the anticomplement of the isotomic conjugate of P, is on E(X4440.
X39371–X39372 — Points associated with the Cip transform
contributed by Peter Moses, August 3, 2020. The Cip transform is introduced in Suren, Moses, and Kimberling, “The Circumcevian-Inversion Perspector of Two Triangles”, to appear in Journal for Geometry and Graphics, as follows: In the plane of a triangle ABC, let P be a point that is not on one of the sidelines, BC, CA, AB. Let Γ be the circumcircle of ABC, and let DEF be the circumcevian triangle of P; that is, D is the point, other than A, in which the line AP meets Γ, and likewise for the vertices E and F. Let X, Y, Z be the reflections of P in D, E, F, respectively, and let X',Y',Z' be the Γ-inverse of X, Y, Z, respectively. Let P' = BY'∩CZ'. Then ABC and X'Y'Z' are perspective triangles, and P' is the circumcevian-inversion perspector of X'Y'Z' and ABC. The mapping P → P' is the Cip transform.
If Λ is a conic that passes through the circumcenter, O, then it is the Cip transform of a circular cubic. If you have Geogebra, you can view seven examples, named according to the choice of Λ:
CIP_ABCIO (CIP_ABCIO.ggb).CIP_BrocardCircle (CIP_BrocardCircle.ggb).CIP_FeuerbachOfTangential (CIP_FeuerbachOfTangential.ggb).CIP_Jerabek (CIP_Jerabek.ggb).CIP_KiepertOfMedial (CIP_KiepertOfMedial.ggb).CIP_Lester (CIP_Lester.ggb).CIP_Thomson-Gibert-Moses hyperbola (CIP_Thomson-Gibert-Moses%20hyperbola).Names for the seven circular cubics are introduced here as ABCIO circular cubic, Brocard circular cubic, Feuerbach-of-tangential circular cubic, Jerabek circular cubic, Kiepert-of-medial circular cubic, Lester circular cubic, and Thomson-Gibert-Moses-hyperbola circular cubic. For each of these, O is the Cip-image of O and every point on the infinity line. Aside from O, two of the seven circular cubics have Cip-fixed points: X102 on the ABCIO circular cubic, and X110 on the Thomson-Gibert-Moses-hyperbola circular cubic.
Another point on the ABCIO circular cubic is X38599, and two on the Jerabek circular cubic are X35372 and X35465;
If Λ is a conic that does not pass through O, then the curve having Λ as Cip image has formal degree 4. An example is the Steiner circumquartic , see CIP_SteinerCircum (
CIP_SteinerCircum.ggb), which passes through X12188.
X39382–X39640 — and X39628-X39640, Circumcenters of circumcevian polar triangles
based on notes from Suren and Peter Moses (August-September, 2020). Let A'B'C' be the circumcevian triangle of a point P in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let La be the polar of A' wrt the circumcircle of BPC, and define Lb and Lc cyclically. Let A″ = Lb∩Lc, and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″ is here named the circumcevian polar triangle of P. If P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics), then the A-vertex of A″B″C″ is given by \(u : v : w\), where [formulas omitted here].
The circumcenter of A″B″C″, denoted by MSV(P), is given by
a^2/(c^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*p^2*q + 2*a^2*c^2*p*q^2 - b^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*p^2*r + a^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*q^2*r - 2*a^2*b^2*p*r^2 - a^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*q*r^2) : :
Theorems:MSV(P) = circumcircle-antipode of the Vu circumcircle point of P (defined in the preamble just before X38451.If P lies on the cubic K269, then MSV(P) = X109.If P lies on the Neuberg, then MSV(P) = X110.If P lies on the cubic K270, then MSV(P) = X112.If P lies on the cubic K1156, then MSV(P) = X1296.The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that MSV(Xi) = Xj:

X39389–X39401 — Circlecevian Perspectors
contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, Auguist 21, 2020. The circlecevian triangle of a point is defined in the preamble just before X37841, as follows: Let P =\(p:q:r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let A' be the point, other than P, in which the line AP meets the circle (PBC), and define B' and C' cyclically; the triangle A'B'C' is called the circlecevian triangle of P with respect to triangle ABC by Floor van Lamoen (Hyacinthos #10039); see the preambles just before X34520 and X34892. Let A1B1C1 be the circlecevian triangle of P. Let A2 be the point, other than A, of intersection of the circles (ABC) and AB1C1), and define B2 and C2 cyclically. Let A3 = BB2∩CC2, and define B3 and C3 cyclically. Theb ABC is perspective to A3B3C3, and the perspector, here named the circlecevian perspector of P, is given by
V(P) = a^2 (c^2 p q^2 + b^2 p^2 r + 2 b^2 p q r + a^2 q^2 r + b^2 p r^2) (c^2 p^2 q + c^2 p q^2 + 2 c^2 p q r + b^2 p r^2 + a^2 q r^2) : :
Let P* be the isogonal conjugate of P; then V(P) = V(P*).

contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, August 21, 2020. Let P be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let A1 be the 1st isodnamic point, X15, of triangle PBC, and define B1 and C1 cyclically. Let A2 be the point of intersection, other than A, of the circles (ABC) and (AB1C1), and define B2 and C2 cyclically. Let A3 = BB2∩CC2, and define B3 and C3 cyclically. The triangle A3B3C3 is perpsective to ABC, and the perspector, V(P), is here named the 1st Vu isodynamic perspector. Note that A3B3C3 is the anticevian triangle of V(P).
If the above construction is carried out with the 2nd isodynamic point, X16, instead of X15, the resulting perspector, T(P), is the 2nd Vu isodynamic perspector.

Generalization (Vu Thanh Tung, August 28, 2020):
Theorem: In the plane of a triangle ABC, let A1 and A'1 be points on BC such that B, C, A1, and A'1 are distinct. Define B1 and C1 cyclically, and define B'1 and C'1 cyclically. Let A2 be the point of intersection, other than A, of the circles (ABC) and (AA1A'1), and define B2 and C2 cyclically. Let A3 = BB2∩CC2, and define B3 and C3 cyclically. Then A3B3C3 is perspective to ABC if and only if the points A1, A'1, B1, B'1, C1, C'1 lie on a conic.
Corollary: Let A1B1C1 be the cevian triangle of P, and let A'1B'1C'1 be the cevian triangle of P'. Then the six vertices lie on the bicevian conic of P and P', and the perspector of the triangles ABC and A3B3C3 is the barycentric product P*P'.

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, August 30, 2020. Suppose that F =\(f : g : h\) (barycentrics) is a point on the infinity line, L. The orthopoint (a.k.a. orthogonal conjugate) of F, denoted here by F' =\(f' : g' : h'\) also lies on L. In Introduction to the Geometry of the Triangle,, Paul Yiu notes that
\(S_{A}\)*f*f’ + \(S_{B}\)*g*g’ + \(S_{C}\)*h*h’ = 0.
Equialvently, the point F″ = \(S_{A}\)*f*f’ : \(S_{B}\)*g*g’ : \(S_{C}\)*h*h’
also lies on L. The point F″ is here named the Yiu infinity point of F. Note that F″ = F*F'/H, where H = X4, the orthocenter.
The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that Xi is on L, Xj = orthopoint of Xi, and Xk = Yiu infinity point of Xi:

Suppose that Γ is the circle with powers (u,v,w) – that is, u = power of A with respect to the circle. and v and w are defined cyclically. Suppose that L is a line, given by p x + q y + r z = 0 (barycentrics), that does not pass through X3. The Γ-inverse of L is a circle that passes through X3. This circle is here named the Γ-inversion circle of L, denoted by ((Γ, L)). The center of ((Γ, L)) is given by

X39667–X39678 — Points associated with the 7th Brocard triangle
based on notes from Dan Reznik and by Peter Moses, September 14, 2020. In the plane of a triangle ABC, let O = X3, the circumcenter. Let A' be the point, other than O, in which the line AO meets the Brocard circle, and define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C', here named the 7th Brocard triangle; the first six Brocard triangles are defined by Bernard Gibert at Brocard triangles and related cubics.
The 7th Brocard triangle is perspective to the following triangles, with perspector O: ABC, Lucas central, 2nd Hyacinth, and the Lucas antipodal and other Lucas triangles. Also, A'B'C' is perspective to the 2nd Brocard triangle, with perspector X184, and to the symmedial triangle, with perspector X39643.
The A vertex of the 7th Brocard triangle is given by
A' = a^4 + b^4 + c^4 - 2*b^2*c^2 : b^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2) : c^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2).
Let KK denote the cubic pK(X39644,X39645). If P is a point on KK, then the cevian triangle of P is perspective to A'B'C'. The cubic KK passes through the points Xi for i = 3, 6, 230, 5253, 6530, 8770.
The triangle A'B'C' under the Brocard porism (in which the circumcircle and Brocard inellipse are fixed; see X39) can be viewed at Loci of Centers of Ellipse-Mounted Triangles.) (Dan Reznik, September 14, 2020).
See also Brocard Porism: locus of 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 7th Brocard Triangles Vertices are Circles.) (Dan Reznik, September 21, 2020).
Let A″ = circumcircle-inverse of A', and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″, here named the 8th Brocard triangle, is given by
A″ = 2*a^4 : b^2*(-a^2 + b^2 - c^2) : c^2*(-a^2 - b^2 + c^2)B″ = a^2*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2) : 2*b^4 : c^2*(-a^2 - b^2 + c^2)C″ = a^2*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2) : b^2*(-a^2 + b^2 - c^2) : 2*c^4Note that A″B″C″ are collinear (on the Lemoine axis), so that A″B″C″ is a degenerate triangle.
Let A* = isogonal conjugate of A″, and define B* and C* cyclically. The triangle A*B*C* is here named the 9th Brocard triangle. Barycentrics are given by
A* = -((a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)) : 2*a^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2) : 2*a^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)B* = 2*b^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2) : -((a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2)) : 2*b^2*(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2)C* = 2*c^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2) : 2*c^2*(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2) : -((a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2))The vertices A*, B*, C* lies on the Steiner circumellipse.
The 7th Brocard triangle is the dual-of-orthic triangle of the 1st Brocard triangle, and also the anticomplement of the orthic-of-1st-Brocard triangle. (Randy Hutson, September 30, 2020)
The 9th Brocard triangle is the Steiner-orthic triangle (the Steiner circumellipse counterpart to the circumorthic triangle). (Randy Hutson, September 30, 2020)

X40139–X40173 — Hodpieces
:This preamble is based on notes received from Radosław Żak (October 29, 2020) and Peter Moses (October 29-30, 2020). In the plane of a triangle ABC, let P be a point, not on a sideline of ABC, and let DEF be the cevian triangle of P. The isogonal conjugate of line EF is a conic. Let A' be the center of of the conic, and define B' and C' cyclically. Then the lines AA', BB', CC' concur in a point here named the hodpiece of P, denoted by H(P). The name hodpiece is taken from James Joyce’s book, Finnegans Wake. The unique point P such that \(H(P) = P\), indexed below as X40139, is named the Bloom point after Leopold Bloom, the main character in Joyce’s Ulysses. The point H(X5) = X40140 is the Dedalus point, and the H(X7) = X40141, the Zana point.
An article (in Polish) about hodpieces by Żak won a gold medal in a competition for high school students organized by the Polish Mathematical Society. For an English translation, see Isogonal conjugate and a few properties of the point X25 (
Isogonal%20conjugate%20and%20a%20few%20properties%20of%20the%20point%20X(25).pdf).If P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics), then \(H(P) = a^{2}/(p (-a^{2}/p + b^{2}/q + c^{2}/r)\): : .
Let P* = P-Ceva conjugate of X6. Then \(H(P) = isogonal conjugate of P*-cross conjugate of P\).
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that H(Xi) = Xj: (1,57), (2,25), (3,459), (4,394), (5,40140), (6,2), (7,40141), (9,1422), (10,40142), (13,40156), (14,40157), (15, 40158), (16,40159), [and others]
Note that H(X2) = H(X8115) = H(X8116) = X25.

X40197–X40211 — Points associated with Vu parallels conics
based on notes received from Vu Thanh Tung, October 31, 2020. > In the plane of a triangle ABC, let P =\(p:q:r\) and U =\(u:v:w\) (barycentrics) be points. Let A1 be the point on BC such that PA1 is parallel to AU, and define B1 and C1 cyclically. Let A2 be the point on BC such that PA2 is parallel to AP, and define B2 and C2 cyclically. The six points A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 lies on a conic, here named the Vu parallels conic of P and U. See Vu Parallels Conic (
VuParallelsConic.pdf).Peter Moses (October 31, 2020) found that V(P,U) = [long omitted expression] and T(P,U) = [long omitted expression]
Let V(P,U) denote the center, and T(P,U) the perspector, of the Vu parallels conic of P and U. The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that V(Xi,Xj) = Xk: (1,2,40197), (1,6,40199), (2,3,40201), (2,4,40203), (2,6,40305), (2,6,40205), (3,4,14767), (3,5,6709), (3,6,40209)
The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that T(Xi,Xj) = Xk: (1,2,40198), (1,6,40200), (2,3,40202), (2,4,40204), (2,6,40206), (3,4,40207), (3,5,40208), (3,6,40210)
X40212–X40218 — U-Hodpieces
based on notes received from Vu Thanh Tung, November 1, 2020. The definition of hodpiece in the preamble just before X40137 generalizes as follows. Let P be a point, not on a sideline of ABC, and let DEF be the cevian triangle of P. Let U =\(u:v:w\) be a point. The P-reciprocal conjugate of U (defined as \(u/p : v/q : w/r\) in the Glossary of ETC), of the line EF is a conic. Let A' be the center of the conic, and define B' and C' cyclically. Then the lines AA', BB', CC' concur in the point
u / (p*(-u/p + v/q + w/r)) : v / (q*(u/p - v/q + w/r)) : w / (r*(u/p + v/q - w/r)),
here named the U-hodpiece of P, so that the hodpiece of P is the X6-hodpiece of P.
X40236–X40296 — Tetrahedral projections
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 4, 2020. Let ABC be a triangle on a plane XY. Consider three segments AA', BB', CC' with lengths U, V, W, respectively, and each having one fixed extreme in A, B and C, respectively, and the other extremes free to move outside the plane XY. Suppose that these segments are rotated around their fixed extremes in such a way that their free extremes coincide at a point D, forming, together with the sides of ABC, the edges of a tetrahedron ABCD. Let D* be the orthogonal projection of D on the plane of ABC. The point D* is here named the tetrahedral projection of ABC by (U, V, W) or the tetrahedral projection of ABC to A’B’C’. Then
D* = \(a^{2}\) (SA - \(U^{2})\) + SB \(W^{2}\) + SC \(V^{2}\) : \(b^{2}\) (SB - \(V^{2})\) + SC \(U^{2}\) + SA \(W^{2}\) : \(c^{2}\) (SC - \(W^{2})\) + SA \(V^{2}\) + SB \(U^{2}\) (1)Z(D), the Z-coordinate of D , i.e., the height of the point D measured from D* and orthogonally to the plane of ABC, is given by:Z(D) = ±\(\sqrt{∑ [2 (a^{2} U^{2} + V^{2} W^{2}) S_{A} - a^{2} U^{4}] - (a b c)^{2}}\)/(2 S) (2)Equation (2) shows that D is real or imaginary according to the sign of the quantity under the square root. If this quantity is zero then D and D* coincide on the plane of ABC. Moreover, the ± sign indicates that there are two possible points D and D', each in different sides with respect to the plane of ABC.
Equation (1) shows that if U, V, W are real numbers then D* is always real and also that, if U, V, W are cyclic values, i.e., if there exists a degree-1 function ƒ(a,b,c) such that U=ƒ(a,b,c), V=ƒ(b,c,a) and W=ƒ(c,a,b), then D* is a triangle center.
The appearance of (ƒ(a,b,c), n) in the following list means that the tetrahedral projection of ABC by (U=ƒ(a,b,c), V=ƒ(b,c,a), W=ƒ(c,a,b)) is Xn:(a, 20), (b+c, 962), (-a+b+c, 8148), (\(\sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}}\), 4), (\(\sqrt{-a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}\), 382) The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the tetrahedral projection of ABC to the cevian triangle of Xi is Xj: (2, 546), (4, 389), (7, 65), (39158, 3), (39159, 3) The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the tetrahedral projection of ABC to the anticevian triangle of Xi is Xj: (1, 1490), (2, 3146), (6, 40285) The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the tetrahedral projection of ABC to the circumcevian triangle of Xi is Xj: (1, 40257), (3, 3), (4, 6241), (186, 74), (8697, 8697) The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the tetrahedral projection of ABC to the circumanticevian triangle of Xi is Xj: (1, 40256), (2, 12111), (6, 3) The appearance of (T, n) in the following list means that the tetrahedral projection of ABC to the triangle T is Xn:(ABC-X3 reflections, 3), (anti-Aquila, 13624), (anti-Ara, 1885), (anti-Artzt, 5077), [and others]Definitions of all triangles above mentioned can be found in the index of triangles (

X40297–X40305 — Points associated with the power curve
contributed by Suren, November 4, 2020. In the plane of a triangle ABC, the locus of a point \(a^{t} : b^{t} : c^{t}\) (barycentrics [or trilinears]) as t varies through the real numbers is the power curve, PC(ABC), of ABC. (The term is introduced in Clark Kimberling, “Major Centers of Triangles,” American Math. Monthly 104 (1997), 431-438.) Note that PC(ABC) passes through Xi for i = 1,2,6,31,75,76, and that eliminating t shows that PC(ABC) is given by the equations
(log x)/(log a) = (log y)/(log b) = (log z)/(log c).
(Here, “log” signifies the natural logarithm, but equivalent equations result under change of base for “log”.) Centers X40297-X40305 involve the line tangent to PC at X1, X2, and X6.
In general, the line tangent to the power curve at a point \(a^{t} : b^{t} : c^{t}\) has the direction (i.e., a point on the infinity line) given by
(a*c)t log(a/c) + (a*b)t log(a/b) : : ,
and the trilinear pole of that point is the point \(a^{t}\) log(c/b) : \(b^{t}\) log(a/c) : \(c^{t}\) log(b/a).
X40306–X40315 — Points on Vu orthogonal conics
based on notes contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, November 5, 2020. In the plane of a triangle ABC, let P and U be points. Let L be the line through P perpendicular to line AU, and let A1 = L∩BC. Define B1 and C1 cyclically. Let L' be the line through U perpendicular to line AP. and A2 = L'∩BC. Define B2 and C2 cyclically. The six points A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C2 lie on a conic, here named the Vu orthogonal conic of P and U, denoted by VOC(P,U).
Let V(P,U) denote the center, and T(P,U) the perspector, of VOC(P,U). Note that VOC(U,P) = VOC(P,U), V(U,P) = V(P,U), and T(U,P) = T(P,U).

X40328–X40336 — Osiris points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 9, 2020. Let ABC be a triangle, P a point and Q the isotomic conjugate of P. Denote by A' the centroid of the quadrangle BCPQ and define B' and C'. cyclically. Then AA', BB', CC' concur at a point O(P)=O(Q), here named the Osiris point of P.
For P=\(x:y:z\) (barycentrics), O(P) = (y^2+5*y*z+z^2)*x+2*(y+z)*(x^2+y*z) : :
The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the Osiris point of Xi is Xj:(1, 40328), (2, 2), (3, 40329), (4, 40330), (5, 40331), (6, 40332), (7, 40333), (8, 40333), (13, 40334), (14, 40335), (69, 40330), (75, 40328), (76, 40332), [and others]If P or Q lie on the cubic K953, then its Osiris point lies on the Euler line of ABC.
The mapping O takes certain cubics onto lines: O(K296) = X1X2, O(K185) = X2X6, O(K953) = X2X3. (Peter Moses, November 10, 2020)
X40345–X40346 — Points on the tangential power curve
contributed by Clark Kimberling, November 11, 2020. Let PC(ABC) by the power curve; i.e., the locus of the point \(a^{t} : b^{t} : c^{t}\) (barycentrics) as t varies through the real numbers. If P =\(a^{t} : b^{t} : c^{t}\) for fixed t, then the isotomic conjugate of P is the point P' =\(a^{-t} : b^{-t} : c^{-t}\). Equations for the lines tangent to PC(ABC) at P and P' are found using Suren’s points on the line at infinity; see the preamble just before X40296. If P is not the centroid of ABC, then the tangent lines are distinct, and they meet in the point
P″ = \(a^{t}(b^{2t} - c^{2t})\)/(log b - log c) : \(b^{t}(c^{2t} - a^{2t})\)/(log c - log a) : \(c^{t}(a^{2t} - b^{2t})\)/(log a - log b)
The locus of P″ as t varies through the positive real numbers is here named the (barycentric) tangential power curve.
The corresponding normal lines at P and P' meet in a point whose locus is the normal power curve.
The trilinear tangential and normal power curves are defined in the same manner using trilinear coordindates throughout, using isogonal conjugates instead of isotomic.
X40359–X40375 — Ceva-conjugates associated with the power curve
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, November 17, 2020. Let P(t) =\(a^{t} : b^{t} : c^{t}\), on the power curve, as in the preambles just before X40297 and X40345. The P(t)-Ceva conjugate of P(u), denoted by P(t)©P(u) is given by
\(a^{u}(-a^{u-t} + b^{u-t} + c^{u-t})\) : \(b^{u}(a^{u-t} - b^{u-t} + c^{u-t})\) : \(c^{u}(a^{u-t} + b^{u-t} - c^{u-t})\),
P(t)©P(u) is the perspector of the cevian triangle of P(t) and the anticevian triangle of P(u).
The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that P(t)©P(u) = Xk:
(-9,-1,33807), (-8,-8,40359), (-8,-6,40360), (-8,-2,40361), (-8,0,33797), (-7,-1,33806), (-7,1,33791), (-6,-6,40362), (-6,-4,40050), [and others]
For fixed t = \(t_{0}\) and variable u, the locus of \(P(t_{0})\)©P(u) is here named the \(P(t_{0})\)©P(u)-Ceva power curve. For fixed variable t and fixed u = \(u_{0}\), the locus of P(t)©\(P(u_{0})\) is here named the P(t)©\(P(u_{0})\)-Ceva power curve.
X40376–X40383 — Complements and anticomplements associated with the power curve
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, November 19, 2020. Suppose that P(t) =\(a^{t} : b^{t} : c^{t}\) (barycentrics) is a point on the power curve. The complement of P(t) is the point \(b^{t}\) + \(c^{t}\) : \(c^{t}\) + \(a^{t}\) : \(a^{t}\) + \(b^{t}\). The anticomplement of P(t) is the point -\(a^{t}\) + \(b^{t}\) + \(c^{t}\) : \(a^{t}\) - \(b^{t}\) + \(c^{t}\) : \(a^{t}\) + \(b^{t}\) - \(c^{t}\).
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the (complement of Xi) = Xj:

X40469–X40529 — Centers and perspectors of cevapoint conics
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, November 30, 2020. In the plane of a triangle ABC, let L be the line u x + v y + w z = 0, and let U be the point \(u : v : w\), this being the isotomic conjugate of the trilinear pole of L. Let P =\(p : q : r\) be a point. The (U,P)-cevapoint conic, introduced here as the locus of X such that the cevapoint of P and X is on the line LU is given by
u (q x + p y)(r x + p z) + v (r y + q z)(p y + q x) + w (p z + r x)(q z + r y) = 0.
The center of the conic is the point
p*(p^2*(p - q - r) u^2 + q^2 (p - q + r) v^2 + r^2 (p + q - r) w^2 - 2 p q r v w + 2 p r (p - r) w u + 2 p q (p - q) u v) : : ,
and the perspector, by
p/(-p u + q r + r w) : q/(p u - q v + r w) : r/(p u + q v - r w).

In the plane of a triangle ABC, let L be the line u x + v y + w z = 0, and let U be the point \(u : v : w\), this being the isotomic conjugate of the trilinear pole of L. Let P =\(p : q : r\) be a point. The 1st (U,P)-Ceva conic, introduced here as the locus of X such that the P-Ceva conjugate of X is on the line L, is given by
u p (-p/x + q/y + r/z) + v q (p/x - q/y + r/z) + w r (p/x + q/y - r/z) = 0.
The center of the conic is the point

X40578–X40629 — Centers of 2nd Ceva conics
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, December 6, 2020. In the plane of a triangle ABC, let L be the line u x + v y + w z = 0, and let U be the point \(u : v : w\), this being the trilinear pole of L. Let P =\(p : q : r\) be a point. The 2nd (U,P)-Ceva conic is introduced here as the locus of X such that the X-Ceva conjugate of P is on the line L. This conic circumscribes ABC and is given by
p(-u p + v q + w r)/x + q(u p - v q + w r)/y + r(u p + v q - w r)/z = 0.
The center of the conic is the point
p*((p+q+r) p^2 u^2 + (p+q-r) q^2 v^2 + (p-q+r) r^2 w^2 + 2 p q r v w - 2 p r (p+r) w u - 2 p q (p+q) u v) : :

X40632–X40661 — Points associated with bicevian triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, December 8, 2020. Let P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) be points in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let A'B'C' be the cevian triangle of P and A″B″C″ the cevian triangle. Let A* be the midpoint of A' and A″, and define B* and C* cyclically. The triangle A*B*C* is here named the (P,U)-bicevian triangle:
A* = 0 : 2 q v + q w + r v : 2 r w + q w + r vB* = 2 p u + r u + p \(w : 0 : 2\) r w + r u + p wC* = 2 p u + p v + q u : 2 q v + p v + q u : 0For example, let DEF be the (X2,X4)-bicevian triangle, so that D = 0 : 2 a^2 + b^2 - c^2 : a^2 - b^2 + c^2. The vertices D, E, F lie on the cubics K054 and K124 and on the Moses-Steiner ellipse (see X6070.
These points lie on the Euler line of DEF:X5943 = X2-of-DEFX8254 = X3-of-DEFX6153 = X4-of-DEFX13365 = X5-of-DEFX40632 = X20-of-DEFThe following triangles are perspective to DEF, all with perspector X5: 3rd and 4th Euler triangles, submedial, infinite altitude, Ehrmann mid-triangle, Gemini 110, 1st and 2nd half-diamonds equilateral triangles, and 1st and 2nd half-diamonds triangles (X33338.
The circumcircle (M), of DEF, passes through Xi for i = 125, 137, 11702, 14071, 30480 and has squared radius

Note that (M) meets the nine-point circle in the points X125 and X137.
DEF is the reflection triangle of the medial-of-medial triangle (which is also Gemini triangle 110, the X2-midcevian triangle, and the excentral triangle of the submedial triangle, if ABC is acute), and DEF is homothetic to the reflection triangle at X2. (Randy Hutson, December 18, 2020)
Let D' be the point, other than D, where (M) meets the line BC, and define E' and F' cyclically. Then
Let D' = 0 : (a^2 + 2*b^2 - c^2)*(a^4 - 2*a^2*b^2 + b^4 - a^2*c^2 - b^2*c^2) : (a^2 - b^2 + 2*c^2)*(a^4 - a^2*b^2 - 2*a^2*c^2 - b^2*c^2 + c^4).

(1, K323)(4, K780)(6, K128)(7, K623)(13, K419a)(14, K419b)(30, K472)(69, K779)(75, K766)(76, K738)(98, K777)(239, K770)(287, K776)(291, K769)(297, K718)(298, K867a)(299, K867b)(325, K778)(335, K768)(350, K767)(385, K739)(511, K357)(519, K1148)(694, K354)(1916, K322)(3978, K356)(11078, K859a)(11092, K859b)The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the X2-Hirst inverse of Xi is Xj: (1,239), (3,401), (4,297), (5,40853), (6,385), (7,9436), (8,3912), (9,10025), (10,6542), (13,11078), (14,11092), (15,40854), (16,40855), (20,441), (21,448), [and others]
Note that X99 and X190 are self-X2-Hirst inverse. In general, a point P is self-X-Hirst inverse if and only if X lies on the circumconic with perspector X; thus, X is self-X2-Hirst inverse if and only if X is on the Steiner circumellipse.
X40896–X40908 — Points associated with paratriangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, January 1, 2021. Let P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. As in the preamble just before X40843, the paratriangle of P is the triangle A'B'C' with vertices given by
A' =\(p : r : q\)B' =\(r : q : p\)C' =\(q : p : r\)For fixed P with paratriangle A'B'C', the locus of X such that the anticevian triangle of X is perspective to A'B'C' is the anticevian-associated cubic given by
p (p r - q^2) y z^2 - p (p q - r^2) y^2 z + (cyclic) = 0,
which is the cubic pK(P,P'), where P' = p^2 - q r : q^2 - r p : r^2 - p q is the X2-Hirst inverse of P.
The appearance of (i,K___) in the following list means that if P = Xi, then the K___ is the anticevian-associated cubic;
(1, K323)(4, K780)(6, K128)(7, K623)[and others]The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the X2-Hirst inverse of Xi is Xj: (1,239), (3,401), (4,297), (5,40853), (6,385), (7,9436), (8,3912), (9,10025), (10,6542), (13,11078), (14,11092), (15,40854), (16,40855), (20,441), (21,448), (22,15013), (23,40856), (25,15014), (27,447), (30,2), [and others]
Note that X99 and X190 are self-X2-Hirst inverse. In general, a point P is self-X-Hirst inverse if and only if X lies on the circumconic with perspector X; thus, X is self-X2-Hirst inverse if and only if X is on the Steiner circumellipse.
X40911–X40920 — Points associated the special dilation triangle
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, January 4, 2021. Let T denote the pedal triangle of X2. There is exactly one dilation of T from X2 that is perspective to ABC. It is the (-1)-dilation, here named the special dilation triangle, with vertices given by
A' = 4 a^2 : a^2 - b^2 + c^2 : a^2 + b^2 - c^2B' = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 : 4 b^2 : b^2 - c^2 + a^2C' = c^2 - a^2 + b^2 : c^2 + a^2 - b^2 : 4 c^2.See Clark Kimberling and Peter J. C. Moses, “Dilation-Induced Perspectivities among Triangles”, Journal for Geometry and Graphics 14 (2010) 1-14.
X2-of-A'B'C' = X5650, and X3-of-A'B'C' = X141
The appearance of (T,i) in the following list means that A'B'C' is perspective to T, and the perspector is Xi:

X40921–X40926 — Perspectors involving the obverse triangle of X69
based on notes from Peter Moses, January 6, 2021. As in the preamble just before X24307, the obverse triangle, A'B'C', of a point P =\(p : q : r\) is given by
A' =\(p : r : q\), B' =\(r : q : p\), C' =\(q : p : r\).
In particular, for P = X69,
A' = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 : a^2 + b^2 - c^2 : c^2 + a^2 - b^2.
X41016–X41071 — Altintas-isodynamic triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 11, 2021.
Let ABC be a triangle. The parallel line to BC from P = X15 (1st isodynamic point) intersects the circumcircle of ABC in A1, A2 and the Simson lines of A1, A2 cut at A'. Define B' and C' cyclically. Then A'B'C' is equilateral and its center lies on the Euler line of ABC. (Kadir Altintas, January 9, 2021)
A' has barycentric coordinates:A' = -((S^2+SB*SC)*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S+(SA+3*SW)*S^2-2*(-SW*SA+S^2+SW^2)*SA)/(S^2-\(\sqrt{3}\)*S*SA-2*SW*SA) : SC : SBand squared-sidelength:L'2 = S^2*\(\sqrt{3}\)/(3*S+\(\sqrt{3}\)*SW)When P=X16 (2nd isodynamic point), the parallel line to BC from P intersect the circumcircle of ABC in two imaginary points, but the Simson lines of these points still intersect in a real point A″. The triangle A″B″C″ built in this way is also equilateral and:A″ = -((-S^2+SB*SC)*\(\sqrt{3}\)*S+(SA+3*SW)*S^2-2*(-SW*SA+S^2+SW^2)*SA)/(S^2-\(\sqrt{3}\)*S*SA-2*SW*SA) : SC : SBand its squared-sidelength is:L″2 = S^2*\(\sqrt{3}\)/(-3*S+\(\sqrt{3}\)*SW)Triangles A'B'C' and A″B″C″ are referred here as 1st- and 2nd- Altintas-isodynamic triangles, respectively.

X41133–X41154 — Inverses-in-permutation ellipses
:contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, January 25, 2021. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Suppose further that p,q,r are distinct homogeneous functions of a,b,c. The permutation ellipse of P, denoted by E(P), is introduced in the preamble just before X34341 as the ellipse that passes through the six points \(p : q : r\),\(q : r : p\),\(r : p : q\),\(p : r : q\),\(q : p : r\),\(r : q : p\), given by
(q r + r p + p q)(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - (p^2 + q^2 + r^2)(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
The centroid, X2, is the center and the perspector of E(P).
In C. Kimberling and P. Moses, ‘Permutation Ellipses’, Journal for Geometry and Graphics 24 (2020) 233-247, the following three special permutation ellipses are discussed: (1) trisector ellipse, (2) self-dual permutation ellipse; and (3) Steiner midway ellipse. Following are definitions and equations:
The trisector ellipse passes through the points \(0:1:2\),\(0:2:1\),\(1:0:2\),\(2:0:1\),\(1:2:0\),\(2:1:0\). These six points trisect the sides of ABC. The ellipse is given by 2(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - 5(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
The unique self-dual permutation ellipse is given by x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 4 (y z + z x + x y) = 0.
The Steiner midway ellipse (SME), is, loosely speaking, the ellipse midway between the Steiner inellipse (SIE) and the Steiner circumellipse (SCE). That is, for each P on SCE, let P' be the intersection of the ray GP with SIE, and let P″ be the midpoint of PP'. Then SME is the set of all such midpoints. SME is given by 7(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - 34(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
In general, the inverse of a point P =\(p : q : r\) in an ellipse j (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - k (y z + z x + x y) = 0 is the point k*p^2 - j*p*q + j*q^2 - j*p*r - k*q*r + j*r^2 : : .
The appearance of (m,n) in the following list means that the trisector-ellipse-inverse of X(m) is Xn:
(6,8859), (69,41133), (99,41134), (115,41135), (141,41136), (183,41137), (190,41138), (193,41139), (148,14971), (230,5032), (239,25055), (297,3545), (325,21356), (401,5054), (441,10304), (448,15671), (671,9166), (1635,24508), (3524,40884), (5055,40885), (5215,40871), (7840,21358), (8591,9167), (11078,22489), (11092,22490), (15699,40853), (17310,19875), (19883,40891), (22510,25165), (22511,25155), (37907,40856), (39663,39908)

X41155–X41161 — Inverses in circles

Moses found that the center of this circle is X6139, and also
A-power = (b^2*c^2*(-a + b + c)*(-2*a^2 + a*b + b^2 + a*c - 2*b*c + c^2))/(2*(-a + b)*(a - c)*(a^3 - a^2*b - a*b^2 + b^3 - a^2*c - b^2*c - a*c^2 - b*c^2 + c^3))

Suppose that O1 and O2 are circles. Let P1 be a point on O1, and let P2 be the O1-antipode of P1. Let\(S_{i}\) = internal center of similitude of O1 and O2\(S_{e}\) = external center of similitude of O1 and O2Q1 = P1\(S_{i}\)∩P2\(S_{e}\)Q2 = P1\(S_{e}\)∩P2\(S_{i}\)Then Q1 and Q2 are a pair of antipodes on O2, and the lines P1P2 and P2Q2 are parallel.
X41202–X41224 — Christopher J. Bradley bicevian points and axes
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, Februry 05, 2021. This section is based on the work On the Nine Intersections of Two Cevian Triangles (Article 20), by Christopher J. Bradley (with symmetrical notations by César Lozada).
Let :g:`U <U>`, :g:`X <X>` be two distinct points on the plane of :g:`ABC << A B C >>`, neither on its sidelines nor on a line parallel to a sideline through the opposite vertex. Let AuBuCu and AxBxCx be the :term:`cevian triangles <cevian-triangle>` of :g:`U <U>` and X, respectively. We introduce the nine intersections of these two triangles:
A1 = BuCu ∩ BxCx, and cyclically B1, C1
A2 = AuBu ∩ AxCx, and cyclically B2, C2
A3 = AxBx ∩ AuCu, and cyclically B3, C3
Then, assuming that U =\(u : v : w\) and X = x : y z (barycentrics):
A, B1, C1 are collinear on a line \(a_{1}\); B, C1, A1 are collinear on a line \(b_{1}\); C, A1, B1 are collinear on a line \(c_{1}\). BC, B2C2, BuCx concrr in a point A'; CA, C2A2, CuAx concur in a point B'; AB, A2B2, AuBx concur in a point C'. BC, B3C3, BxCu concur in a point A″; CA, C3A3, CxAu concur in a point B″; AB, A3B3, AxBu concur in a point C″. A', B', C' are collinear on a line L' and also A″, B″, C″ are collinear on a line L″. Moreover, these two lines are concurrent with UX at a point O(U,X), here named the Bradley bicevian point of (U, X).Barycentric coordinates of this point are O(U, X) = u^2*y*z-x^2*v*w : : . In other words, O(U, X) is the U-Hirst inverse-of-X = X-Hirst inverse-of-U (see the ETC glossary (glossary.html)). A, A2, A3 are collinear, as are B, B2, B3 and C, C2, C3. The last result means that ABC, A2B2 and A3B3 are perspective by pairs with common perspector Q(U,X) = (v*z+w*y)*u*x ::. A1B1C1 is perspective to these triangles: ABC, AuBuCu, AxBxCx, A2B2C2 and A3B3C3. Let Q2(U,X) and Q3(U,X) be the perspectors of A1B1C1 with A2B2C2 and A3B3C3, respectively. Q(U,X), Q2(U,X) and Q3(U,X) lie on a line, here named the Bradley bicevian axis of (U, X), whose trilinear pole has barycentric coordinates:T(U, X) = (x*v^2*z-y^2*u*w)*(x^2*w^2-z^2*u^2)*(y*w^2*x-z^2*v*u)*(y^2*u^2-x^2*v^2) : :
Note that A1B1C1 is the side-triangle of the U- and X-cevian triangles. For shortening, the term side-of-cevians-of-(U,X) will be used here for this triangle.
The appearance of (i, j, k) in the following list means that the Bradley bicevian point of (Xi, Xj) is Xk:(1, 2, 239), (1, 3, 1936), (1, 4, 243), (1, 5, 2596), (1, 6, 238), (2, 3, 401), (2, 4, 297), (2, 5, 40853), (2, 6, 385), (3, 4, 450), (3, 5, 41202), (3, 6, 511), (4, 5, 41203), (4, 6, 41204), (5, 6, 41205)The appearance of (i, j, k) in the following list means that the trilinear pole of the Bradley bicevian axis of (Xi, Xj) is Xk:(1, 2, 4589), (1, 3, 41206), (1, 4, 41207), (1, 6, 4584), (2, 3, 41208), (2, 4, 22456), (2, 6, 41209), (3, 6, 2966), (4, 6, 41210)The appearance of (i, j, m, n) in the following list means that the perspectors of the side-cevians-of-(Xi, Xj) with the cevian-of-Xi and the cevian-of-Xj are X(m) and Xn, respectively:

X41231–X41278 — Gibert quadratic transformations and inverses
based on notes from Bernard Gibert, and related points contributed by Peter Moses, February 11, 2021. Let X \(x : y : z\) (barycentrics) be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. Define
\(F(X) = b^{4} c^{2} x^{2}-b^{2} c^{4} x^{2}-a^{4} c^{2} x y+b^{2} c^{4} x y+a^{4} b^{2} x z-b^{4} c^{2} x z-a^{4} b^{2} y z+a^{4} c^{2} y z\): : ,
with inverse given by
invF(X) = a^2 (b^4 x^2-c^4 x^2-a^2 b^2 x y+c^4 x y-b^4 x z+a^2 c^2 x z+a^2 b^2 y z-a^2 c^2 y z) : :
In the sequel, these transformations are denoted by BGF and invBGF.
The singular points of BGF are X2, X6, and X32. If X is on X2X6, then F(X) = X6. If X is on X2X32, then F(X) = X83. If X is on X6X32, then F(X) = X2.
The fixed points of F; i.e., points X such that BG(X) = invBG(X) = X, are the points on the circumconic having perspector X669.
BGF maps every line through X2 onto itself; in particular, BGF(Euler line) = Euler line.
BGF maps the circumconic having perspector X512 onto the Kiepert hyperbola.
BGF maps the circumconic having perspector X688 onto the circumconic having perspector X512.
The transformations BGF and invBGF have many connections among pk cubics. In order to state a few of them, certain notations will be used: “/” denotes barycentric division, and “*” denotes barycentric product, and if X is a point, then gX = isogonal conjugate of X, and tX = isotomic conjugate of X.
Let pk1 = pK(Ω,P) be a pK cubic and let pk2 = pK(Ω’,P') be another pK cubic such that the isopivot of Q' is Ω’/P'.
The cubics pk1 and pk2 meet the line at infinity at the same points if and only if Q' lies on a psK cubic that is a pK cubic if and only if the points X2, Ω, and P are collinear.
The cubics pk1 and pk2 meet the circumcircle at the same points if and only if the points X6, Ω/X6, and P are collinear; or, equivalently, the points X32, Ω, and P*X6 are collinear. Note that Ω/X6 = tgΩ and P*X6 = gtΩ.
X41279–X41292 — 2nd Lozada perspectors
contributed by Vu Thanh Tung, February 14, 2021. As a sequel to the preamble just before X6056, in which Lozada perspectors are introduced, this section is based on the following definition: Let A1B1C1 be the cevian triangle of a point P =\(p : q : r\) (barycentrics) in the plane of a triangle ABC. Let LA be the line, other than BC, that passes through A1 and is tangent to the A-excircle. Let A' be the touch point, and define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is perspective to ABC, and the perspector, here named the 2nd Lozada perspector of P, denoted by V(P), is given by
V(P) = (a + b - c)(a - b + c) p^2 : (b + c - a)(b - c + a) q^2 : (c + a - b)(c - a + b) r^2.

X41301–X41308 — Points associated with Steiner parabolas
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, February 21, 2021. Let ABC be a triangle and P a point on its plane. Let Ab, Ac be the points at which the parallel line to BC through P cuts AC and AB, respectively and denote Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb cyclically. It is well known that these six points lie on a conic and also that this conic is a parabola SP(P) if and only if P lies on the Steiner inellipse of ABC. This parabola is here named the Steiner parabola of P.
The following algebraic method for calculating the focus F(P) of the Steiner parabola SP(P) follows from the preambles just before X31644 and X38017:
Let X = 3*PG/5, where G=X2, and let X' = barycentric product of P and X. Let Y = X2-Ceva conjugate-of-P. Since P lies on the Steiner inellipse, Y lies on the line at infinity. Let A'B'C' be the orthic triangle of the cevian triangle of Y. Then A'B'C' and ABC are perspective. Denote their perspector by Y'. The focus F(P) is the midpoint of X' and Y'. The axis of SP(P) passes through Y.
X41380–X41388 — Centers of antiparallels conics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, February 22, 2021. Draw antiparallels through the symmedian point :g:`K <K>`. The points where these lines intersect the sides then lie on a circle, known as the cosine circle (or sometimes the second Lemoine circle). (Reference: Weisstein, Eric W. “Cosine Circle.” From MathWorld–A Wolfram Web Resource). More generally, if P is a point on the Jerabek circumhyperbola of a triangle ABC then the antiparallel lines through P cut the sidelines of the triangle in six points lying on a conic, here named the antiparallels conic of P and denoted as 𝕁(P).
The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the center of 𝕁(Xi) is Xj:(3, 37864), (4, 6), (6, 6), (54, 41380), (64, 33584), (65, 41381), (66, 41382), (67, 41383), (68, 41384), (69, 41385), (70, 41386), (71, 41387), (72, 41388), (74, 40355).𝕁(P) is a circle for P=X6 and a degenerated conic for P in {X1987, X8678, X8679}. 𝕁(P) is never a parabola.

X42005–X42066 — Perpsectors associated with inverse triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, March 18, 2021. Suppose that A'B'C' is a triangle with vertices A', B', C' represented in normalized barycentric coordinates. Let M be the matrix representation of A'B'C', and let inv(M) denote the inverse of M. Then the rows of inv(M), interpreted as vertices of a triangle, define the inverse triangle of A'B'C'. The row sums of the inverse triangle are all 1, so that this triangle is “automatically” normalized.
Let P =\(p : q : r\) be a point, and let A'B'C' be the cevian triangle of P, given by A ‘ =\(0 : q : r\), with B' and C' determined cycllically from A'. The inverse triangle of A'B'C' is the triangle A″B″C″ given by A″ = - q - r : q + r : p + q, with B″ and C″ determined cyclically from A″; thus, A″B″C″ is the anticevian triangle of the point q + r : r + p : p + q.
Here, let A'B'C' be the cevian triangle of P. The inverse of A'B'C' is the triangle A″B″C″ given by A″ = 0 : p - q + r : p + q - r, with B″ and C″ determined cyclically from A″; thus A″B″C″ is the cevian triangle of the point - p + q + r ; p - q + r : p + q - r.
A triangle A'B'C' is inscribed in ABC if and only if its inverse circumscribes ABC.

X42285–X42286 — Perpsectors associated with product triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, March 23, 2021. Let T1 = A1B1C1 be a triangle, and let M1 be the matrix whose rows are the normalized barycentrics of A1, B1, C1, respectively.Let T2 = A2B2C2 be a triangle, and let M2 be the matrix whose rows are the normalized barycentrics of A2, B2, C2, respectively.Let M be the matrix sum M1 + M2. The triangle sum T1 + T2 is here defined as the triangle whose vertices are given by the rows of M1 + M2. (Note that triangle sum is non-associative and that there is no additive identity, hence no additive inverses.)In this section “cevian(P)” means the cevian triangle of P, and “anticevian U″ means the anticevian triangle of U.
cevian(P)+anticevian(U) is perspective to both cevian(P) and anticevian(U), and the perspector is the P-Ceva conjugate of U, given by
u (-u/p + v/q + w/r) : v (-v/q + w/r + u/p) w (-w/r + u/p + v/q).
If P = X1, then cevian(P) + anticevian(U) is perspective to ABC for U on a certain cubic through X1, X10, and X1125. If U = X1, the perspector is X42285; if U = X1125, the perspector is X551.
If P = X6, then cevian(P) + anticevian(U) is perspective to ABC for U on a certain cubic through X1, X141, and X3589. If U = X141, the perspector is X42286.

Then:

If T ‘ and :g:`T″ <T″>` satisfy one of the properties (1) or (2), then they satisfy the other property.
T ‘ and T″ have the concurrences in (1) and the collinearities in (2) if the isogonal conjugates of the vertices of T ‘ with respect to T″ are collinear on a line 𝓂’. In this case, the isogonal conjugates of the vertices of T″ with respect to T ‘ are also collinear on a line 𝓂”.
Here, points P' and P″ are named the polarologic centers of (T ‘ to T″) and (T″ to T ‘) and the tripoles of lines ℓ’ and ℓ” are referred as the polelogic centers of (T ‘ to T″) and (T″ to T ‘) . Also, the lines 𝓂’ and 𝓂” are introduced as the T-isogonal-axes of (T ‘ wrt T″) and (T″ wrt T ‘).

The triangle product T1*T2 is here defined as the triangle whose vertices are given by the rows of M1*M2. The noncommutative operation denoted by *, here named triangle multiplication, is associative.
Abbreviate the cevian triangle of a pont P =\(p : q : r\) as cevian(P) and the anticevian triangle of U =\(u : v : w\) as anticevian(U). Let

If T1 and T2 are triangles and T1 is non-degenerate (so that its matrix is invertible), then there exists a unique triangle T such that T1*T = T2, and the solution is T = inverse(T1)*T2. Likewise, there exists a unique triangle T such that T*T1 = T2, and the solution is T = T2*inverse(T1). Following are eight examples [omitted here].
Let P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\). Let T1 = cevian(P) and T2 = cevian(U). The triangle T = A'B'C' such that T1*T = T2 is given by
A' = u (v + w) (2 p u + q u + r u + p v + r v + p w + q w) : v (u + w) (-q u - r u + p v - r v + p w + q w), (u + v) w (-q u - r u + p v + r v + p w - q w)B' = u (v + w) (q u - r u - p v - r v + p w + q w) : v (u + w) (q u + r u + p v + 2 q v + r v + p w + q w) : (u + v) w (q u + r u - p v - r v - p w + q w)C' = u (v + w) (-q u + r u + p v + r v - p w - q w) : -v (u + w) (-q u - r u + p v - r v + p w + q w) : (u + v) w (q u + r u + p v + r v + p w + q w + 2 r w)The locus of a point U = X =\(x : y : z\) such that T is perspective to the medial triangle is the cubic given by

For P = X148, this cubic is K185. For P = X150, the cubic passes through Xi for i = 7, 8, 80, 320, 42482.
Let P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\). Let T1 = cevian(P) and T2 = cevian(U). The triangle T = A'B'C' such that T*T1 = T2 is given by

The appearance of (i, {\(n_{1}\), \(n_{2}\), …, \(n_{k}\)}) in the next list means that the cubic passes through the points: \(X(n_{1})\), \(X(n_{2})\), …, \(X(n_{k})\): (1, {1,2,6,37,81,3293,17147,39949,39964})(3, {2,3,97,216,577})(4, [K621],{2,4,6,24,393,847,2052,6515})(5,{2,5,233,31610,36412})[Further examples are omitted here.]The triangle sum, T1 + T2 of two arbitrary triangles T1 and T2 is defined in the preamble just before X42285. The two distributive laws hold:; i.e., if T is a triangle, then
T*(T1 + T2) = T*T1 + T*T2)(T1 + T2)*T = (T1 + T*T2)*TFor arbitrary points P and U, the product triangle cevian(P)*anticevian(U) is perspective to anticevian(U)*cevian(P), and the perspector is the P-Ceva conjugate of U.

Let L denote the locus of P(t) as t traverses the real number line, and note that P(2 - t) = isogonal conjugate of P(t), so that if a point X is on L, then the isogonal conjugate of X is also on L. The appearance of (t,i) in the following list means P = Xi is the point for which A'(t) = angle BPC, B'(t) = angle CPA, C'(t) = angle APB. The list is presented in isogonal conjugate pairs:

Assume ABC is reference triangle, the perspector P =\(x : y : z\) (barycentrics) and Q, Q' are the centers of q and q’, respectively.

X43034–X43068 — Points on the Gergonne line
contributed by Peter Moses, May 3, 2021. The Gergonne line of a triangle ABC is the line X241X514. If X is a point on the line at infinity, then the barycentric product X7*X is on the Gergonne line. Let g(X) denote the isogonal conjugate of X. Then the X9-isoconjugate of g(X) lies on the circumcircle. More generally, if P =\(p:q:r\), then the P-isoconjugate of the isogonal of the line at infinity is the line b*c*p + c*a*q + a*b*r = 0, and the P-isoconjugate of the line at infinity is the circumconic a^3*q*r*y*z + b^3*r*p*x*z + c^3*p*q*x*y = 0.
X43118–X43192 — Points associated witrh co-Brocard circles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 6, 2021. If two non-equilateral triangles :g:`T’ <T’>` and :g:`T″ <T″>` share the same Brocard axis then their Brocard points, which are symmetrical with respect to this axis, lie on a circle. This circle is named here the co-Brocard circle of T’ and T” and its center lies on the common Brocard axis. (Note: the given condition is sufficient for the circularity of Brocard points, but not necessary).
The reference triangle ABC shares its Brocard axis with these triangles: ABC-X3 reflections, 5th anti-Brocard, anti-inner-Grebe, anti-outer-Grebe, anti-1st Kenmotu-free-vertices, anti-2nd Kenmotu-free-vertices, anti-X3-ABC reflections, Apollonius, 2nd Brocard, 5th Brocard, circumsymmedial, inner-Grebe, outer-Grebe, 1st Kenmotu-free-vertices, 2nd Kenmotu-free-vertices, Lucas inner, Lucas(-1) inner, Lucas tangents, Lucas(-1) tangents, X3-ABC reflections. Other groups of triangles having common Brocard axes are showed in the following table [table omitted here].:
In this section, a set of new anti-triangles is introduced: {anti-1st Auriga, anti-2nd Auriga, anti-Ehrmann-mid, anti-inner-Garcia, anti-1st Kenmotu-free-vertices, anti-2nd Kenmotu-free-vertices, anti-1st Parry, anti-2nd Parry, anti-3rd tri-squares-central, anti-4th tri-squares-central, anti-X3-ABC reflections, anti-inner-Yff, anti-outer-Yff}. The anti-triangle of a triangle T (denoted anti-T) is defined as the triangle A'B'C' such that T-of-A'B'C' is the reference triangle ABC.

(v w - q r)(u + q + r) : q (r - w) (v + r + p) : r (q - v)( w + p + q).

Let P =\(p : q : r\) be a triangle center. The inverse of the cevian triangle of P is the anticevian triangle of q + r : r + p : p + q, and the perspector is the P'-Ceva conjugate of P″, where P' = complement of P, and P″ = anticomplement of P. The perspector is given by
(q + r)(q^2 r + q r^2 - r^2 p - r p^2 - p^2 q - p q^2) :(r + p)(r^2 p + r P^2 - p^2 q - p q^2 - q^2 r - q r^2) :(p + q)(p^2 q + p q^2 - q^2 r - q r^2 - r^2 p - r p^2).The inverse of the anticevian triangle of P is the cevian triangle of - p + q + r : p - q + r : p + q - r, and the perspector is the P'-Ceva conjugate of P″, where P' = anticomplement of P, and P″ = complement of P.

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, May 13, 2021. For an introduction to inverse triangles, see the preambles just before X42005 and X43280). The perspector of the circumcevian triangle T of a point P =\(p : q : r\) and the inverse of T lies on the circumcircle. The A-vertex of T is -a^2 q r : (b^2 r + c^2 q) q : (b^2 r + c^2 q) r. The inverse of T is given by the following A-vertex:
a^2 q r ((a^2-b^2-c^2) q r - b^2 r^2 - c^2 q^2) :q (b^2 r + c^2 q)((a^2 - b^2 + c^2) p r + a^2 r^2 + c^2 p^2) :r (c^2 p + a^2 r)((a^2 + b^2 - c^2) p q + a^2 r^2 + b^2 p^2).The two triangles are perspective, and their perspector, f(P), is given by
a^2/(a^2 (q - r) + (b^2 - c^2) p) : b^2 (b^2 (r - p) + (c^2 - a^2) q) : c^2 (c^2 (p - q) + (a^2 - b^2) r).
Let L(P) denote the line of P and X3. If U lies on L(P), then \(f(U) = a^{2}/(a^{2}(v - w) + (b^{2}-c^{2})u)\): :
In particular, f(Euler line) = X110.

X43390–X43396 — Points associated with the Kiss-Moses mapping
contributed by Peter Moses, May 15, 2021. In the plane of a triangle ABC, with circumcenter O and orthocenter H, let
D = AH∩BO, E = BH∩CO, F = CH∩AOD' = AH∩CO, E' = BH∩AO, F' = CH∩BOD″ = midpoint(D,D'), E″ = midpoint(E,E'), F″ = midpoint(F,F')The points D and D' and associated triangles, circles, and quadrangles comprise the Kiss-Biró configuration, introduced in “Two Remarkable Triangles of a Triangle and Their Circumcircles”, by Sándor Nagydonbai Kiss and Bálint Biró. Elemente der Mathematik (April 2020).
Peter Moses noted that for many choices of i, the point Xi-of-D″E″F″ = Xj-of-ABC for some j. If P =\(p : q : r\) is a point and P-of-D″E″F″ = U =\(u : v : w\), then the mapping P → U is here named the Kiss-Moses mapping, and the image of P is denoted by KM(P). Moses established that this mapping is one-to-one and gave formulas for the mapping and its inverse, denoted by MK(U):
KM(P) = a^2*(2*a^2*b^2*c^2*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*p + c^2*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^4 - a^2*b^2 - 2*a^2*c^2 - b^2*c^2 + c^4)*q + b^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*(a^4 - 2*a^2*b^2 + b^4 - a^2*c^2 - b^2*c^2)*r) : :
MK(U) = a^2*((a^8 - 3*a^6*b^2 + 3*a^4*b^4 - a^2*b^6 - 3*a^6*c^2 + 7*a^4*b^2*c^2 - 3*a^2*b^4*c^2 - b^6*c^2 + 3*a^4*c^4 - 3*a^2*b^2*c^4 + 2*b^4*c^4 - a^2*c^6 - b^2*c^6)*u + (a^4 - 2*a^2*b^2 + b^4 + a^2*c^2 + b^2*c^2 - 2*c^4)*(a^4 - a^2*b^2 - 2*a^2*c^2 - b^2*c^2 + c^4)*v + (a^4 - 2*a^2*b^2 + b^4 - a^2*c^2 - b^2*c^2)*(a^4 + a^2*b^2 - 2*b^4 - 2*a^2*c^2 + b^2*c^2 + c^4)*w) : :
The fixed point of the two mappings is X54.
The appearance of i → j in the following list means that KM(Xi) = Xj:
15035 → 2→ 9730110 → 3 → 5 → 1363043390 → 43391 → 14157 → 74 → 4→ 185 → 13403→ 43392 → 43393[and others]If P is on the line at infinity, then KM(P) is also on the line at infinity, and KM(KM(P)) = P. The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that Xi is on the line at infinity and KM(Xi) = Xj:
(30,5663), (511,542), (512,690), (513,8674), (514,2774), (515,2779), (516,2772), (517,2771), (518,2836), (519,2842), (520,9033), (521,2850), (522,2773), (523,526), (524,2854), (525,9517)
If P is on the line at infinity, then the self-inversive restriction of the mapping KM (to the line at infinity), here denoted by IKM, is given by
IKM(P) = a^2*(c^2*(a^2 - c^2)*q + b^2*(a^2 - b^2)*r)^2*((a^2 - b^2)*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*q - b^2*(b^2 - c^2)*r)*(c^2*(b^2 - c^2)*q + (a^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*r)*(-(c^2*q^2) + (a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*q*r - b^2*r^2) : :

X43630–X43649 — Points on the Pythagorean conic
contributed by Peter Moses, June 7, 2021. As introduced by Bernard Gibert in K1231, the Pythagorean conic is the set of KHO points (x,y,z) that satisfy \(z^{2}\) = \(x^{2}\) + \(y^{2}\) but not x*y*z = 0. If (x,y,z) is such a point, then so are these seven points:
(-x,y,z), (x,-y,z), (x,y,-z), (y,x,z), (-y,x,z), (y,-x,z), (y,x,-z).
Thus, if (u,v,w) is a Pythagorean triple of integers, then then the Gibert (u,v,w) point lies on the Pythagorean conic.

The locus of of a point X =\(x : y : z\) such that the circumconic {{A, B, C,U,X}} is a parabola is given by the quartic equation f(u,v,w,x,y,z) + f(v,w,u,y,z,x) + \(f(w,u,v,z,x,y) = 0\), where
\(f(u,v,w,x,y,z) = u^{2} (v + w)^{2} y^{2} z^{2} - 2 v w (-v w + u(u + v + w)x^{2} y z)\).
If U lies on the line at infinity, then U = (b - c)(1 + b t + c t) : (c - a)(1 + c t + a t) : (a - b)(1 + a t + b t)
for some function t that is symmetric in a,b,c and has degree 0 of homogeneity. In this case,
\(f(x,y,z,u,v,w) = ((b - c)^{2} (1 + b t + c t)^{2} y z)^{2}\).
The appearance of i, {\(j_{1}\), \(j_{2}\),…, \(j_{k}\)} in the following list means that the circumparabola with center Xi passes through the points \(X(j_{1})\),\(X(j_{2})\),…, \(X(j_{k})\):

X44575–X44653 — and X44649-X44653, E-inverses of points on the Euler line, where E is a permutation ellipse
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, September 1, 2021. Three specific permutation ellipses are described in the preamble just before X41133, as follows:
The trisector ellipse passes through the points \(0:1:2\),\(0:2:1\),\(1:0:2\),\(2:0:1\),\(1:2:0\),\(2:1:0\). These six points trisect the sides of ABC. The ellipse is given by 2(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - 5(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
The unique self-dual permutation ellipse is given by x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 4 (y z + z x + x y) = 0.
The Steiner midway ellipse (SME), is, loosely speaking, the ellipse midway between the Steiner inellipse (SIE) and the Steiner circumellipse (SCE). That is, for each P on SCE, let P' be the intersection of the ray GP with SIE, and let P″ be the midpoint of PP'. Then SME is the set of all such midpoints. SME is given by 7(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - 34(y z + z x + x y) = 0.
In general, the inverse of a point P =\(p : q : r\) in an ellipse j (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - k (y z + z x + x y) = 0 is the point k*p^2 - j*p*q + j*q^2 - j*p*r - k*q*r + j*r^2 : : .
The center of every permutation ellipse E is X2, so that the E-inverse of each point P on the Euler line is also on the Euler line. If P = X2 + t*X3 and E is give by h*(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) - k (y z + z x + x y) = 0, then
(E-inverse of P) = (4 (h - k) S^4 + 3 t ((2 h - k) S^4 - (2 h + k) SA SB SC SW)) X2 - 4 (h - k) (1 + t) S^4 X3.
The appearance of {i,j} in the following list means that Xj = trisector-ellipse-inverse of Xi:

X44582 — Kenmotu-centers triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, September 1, 2021. Let A', B', C' be the centers of the inner-Kenmotu squares, as showed in MathWorld’s Kenmotu Point. Triangle A'B'C' is named here the 1st Kenmotu-centers triangle of ABC. As there exists an outer version of these squares with centers A″, B″, C″, the triangle A″B″C″ is refered here as the 2nd Kenmotu-centers triangle of ABC.
Barycentric coordinates of A' and A″ are:
A' = a^2+2*S : b^2 : c^2
A″ = a^2-2*S : b^2 : c^2
Both triangles are homothetic to ABC with homothetic center X6. A'B'C' is the pedal triangle of X371-of-ABC with respect to the 1st Kenmotu-diagonals triangle and A″B″C″ is the pedal triangle of X372-of-ABC with respect to the 2nd Kenmotu-diagonals triangle.

X44687–X44729 — Dao-conjugates
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, based on notes from Dao Thanh Oai, September 8, 2021. Let :g:`ABC << A B C >>` be a triangle, P a point on its plane and and Ω an arbitrary circumconic of :g:`ABC << A B C >>`. Lines :g:`AP <[ A P ]>`, :g:`BP <[ B P ]>`, :g:`CP <[ C P ]>` cut again Ω at :g:`A’ <A’>`, :g:`B’ <B’>`, :g:`C’ <C’>`, respectively, and parallel lines through these points to :g:`BC <[ B C ]>`, :g:`CA <[ C A ]>`, :g:`AB <[ A B ]>` cut Ω again at :g:`A″ <A″>`, :g:`B″ <B″>`, :g:`C″ <C″>`, respectively. Then lines :g:`AA″ <[ A A″ ]>`, :g:`BB″ <[ B B″ ]>`, :g:`CC″ <[ C C″ ]>` concur. (Dao Thanh Oai, May 12, 2021).
If barycentric coordinates of the center X of Ω are X =\(x : y : z\) and P =\(p: q : r\), then D, the point of intersection of AA″, BB″, CC″, is:
D = D(X, P) = x*(x - y - z)*q*r : :
For a given X, this transformation is an involution. D(X, P) is introduced here as the X-Dao conjugate of P. More precisely, D(X, P) may be expressed as an :term:`isoconjugate <isoconjugate>`:
(X-Dao conjugate of W) = W-isoconjugate of P, where W = W(X)= a^3*(x - y + z)*(x + y - z)*y*z : :
The appearance of (m, n) in the following list means that (X(m)-Dao conjugate of P) = Xn-isoconjugate of-P for all points P: (1, 56), (2, 31), (3, 1), (4, 19614), (5, 2190), (6, 19), (8, 16945), (9, 6), (10, 58), (11, 109), (31, 7357), (37, 1333), (57, 2192), (66, 19616), (113, 36053), (114, 36051), (115, 163), (119, 36052), (124, 36050), (125, 162), [and others].
The X-Dao conjugate of P is the trilinear quotient P / W, and, among all known kinds of conjugaties, the X-Dao conjugate of P is: the isogonal conjugate of P, when Ω is the circumcircle of ABC (with center X = X3), the isotomic conjugate of P, when Ω is the Steiner circumellipse of ABC (with center X = X2), the polar conjugate of P, when Ω is the circumconic of ABC with center X = X1249. This conic is described in X1249.
This figure (
DaoThreeCubics.png) shows the locus of a point P such that for X = X1, we have D(P,X) = D(X,P). Comparable loci result for other choices of X. In general, each such locus consists of three cubics, each of which passes through the vertices of the medial triangle, through X, and through the X2-Ceva conjugate of X. Also, the A-cubic passes through A, the B-cubic passes through B, and the C-cubic passes through C.

X44840–X44859 — Perspectors involving 8th and 9th mixtilinear triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, September 18, 2021. Dan Reznik defines 8th and 9th mixtilinear triangles as follows:
Let ω’a, ω’b and ω’c be the A-, B- and C- mixtilinear incircles of ABC, and Ωi the inner Apollonius circle of them. Denote as A', B', C' the touchpoints of Ωi and ω’a, ω’b and ω’c, respectively. The triangle A'B'C' is the 8th-mixtilinear triangle of ABC. Let ω”a, ω”b and ω”c be the A-, B- and C- mixtilinear excircles of ABC, and Ωo the outer Apollonius circle of them. Denote as A″, B″, C″ the touchpoints of Ωo and ω”a, ω”b and ω”c, respectively. The triangle A″B″C″ is the 9th-mixtilinear triangle of ABC.
Barycentric coordinates of the A-vertices of these triangles are:
8th mixtilinear triangle: A' = a*(a^2 + 2*(b + c)*a - 3*(b - c)^2)/2 : b^2*(a - b + c) : c^2*(a + b - c) 9th mixtilinear triangle: A″ = a*(a^2 - 2*(b + c)*a - 3*(b - c)^2)/2 : b^2*(a + b - c) : c^2*(a - b + c)
The appearance of (T, i) in the following list means that triangles 8th mixtilinear and T are perspective with perspector Xi: [list omitted here].
The appearance of (T, i) in the following list means that triangles 9th mixtilinear and T are perspective with perspector Xi: [list omitted here].
The following pairs of triangles are orthologic: (8th mixtilinear, 4th mixtilinear) and (9th mixtilinear, 3rd mixtilinear). No known triangle was found to be parallelogic to either A'B'C' or A″B″C″. The 9th mixtilinear triangle is also directly similar to these triangles: excenters-midpoints, Garcia-reflection (named Gemini 8 too) and 2nd Schiffler.

(Antreas Hatzipolakis, euclid 2510, Sept. 27, 2021). Assume that O and H are the circumcenter and orthocenter of ABC, respectively.
T(P)= SA*x*(y*SB^2+SC^2*z)+SB*SC*(y^2*SB+z^2*SC-2*SA*x*(y+z))+(SB+SC)*(SA^2*x^2-SB*SC*y*z) : : If P lies on the nine-point circle of ABC then T(P) = P. If P lies in the infinite, then T(P) lies on the circle with diameter OH. The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that T(Xi)=Xj:(30, 3), (511, 31848), (512, 31850), (513, 31849), (514, 31851), (515, 31866), (516, 31852), (517, 31847), (518, 31865), (519, 31853), (523, 4), (524, 15098), (525, 43389), (542, 31854), (900, 18341), (952, 18342), (1503, 18338), (2574, 43396), (2575, 43395), (3564, 18348), (3566, 18347), (5965, 31864) he appearance of (i, j) in the following partial list means that T(Xi)=Xj, for P other than specified in (2) and (3):(1, 16869), (2, 5159), (3, 10257), (5, 2072), [and others]. When P moves on a line L through H, T(P) moves also on the line L. In particular, if P is a point on the Euler line of ABC and such that OP/OH = t, then OT/OH = (4*R^2-SW)/(2*OH*(1-t)). When P moves on a line L* no passing through H, the locus of T(P) is a circle Ω(L*), here named the Hatzipolakis-Lozada circle of line L*. Ω(L*) passes through H and, if P* is the trilinear pole of L*, then the center O* of Ω(L*) is the dilation of X3091 with center the polar-conjugate-of-P and ratio 5/4. If L* is the orthic axis X231X232 of ABC then O*=X381; if L* is the Hatzipolakis axis X5X523 of ABC then O*=X23323. For other named or notable lines of ABC, O* are given in X44916 to X44932. The transformation L* → Ω(L*) is not an inversion in a circle.A generalization follows: Let t be a real number and let A'B'C' be the circumcevian triangle of a point P. Let A″ be the point given by the vector equation PA″ = t*PA', and define B″ and C″ cyclically. Denote the triangle A″B″C″ by T(P,t). Suppose that U is a point other than P and k is a real number, and let A’’’B’’’C’’’ = T(U,k). The circles (AA”A’’’), (BB’’B’’’), (CC’’C’’’) are coaxial, and their radical axis is the line PU. In the construction above, P is arbitrary, U = X4, t = 1, and k = 1/2. (Vu Thanh Tung, October 4, 2021)
X44937–X44966 — Hatzipolakis-Suppa circle
contributed by Antreas Hatzipolakis and Ercole Suppa, October 4, 2021. Let P be a point in the plane of a triangle ABC, and let
H = X4 = orthocenter of ABC;A″B″C″ be the pedal triangle P;(Oa) = circumcircle of, AA'A″, and define (Ob) and (Oc) cyclically;\(R_{a}\) = radical axis of (Ob) and (Oc), and define \(R_{b}\) and \(R_{c}\) cyclically;(O'a) = reflection of (Oa) in AA', and define (O'b) and (O'c) cyclically;R’a = radical axis of (O'b) and (O'c), and R’b and R’c cyclically;R’1 = reflection of R’a in BC, and define R’2 and R’3 cyclically.The locus of P such that the parallels to R’1, R’2, R’3 through A', B', C', resp. concur is the union of the Euler line and the circle(X382, R), where R = circumradius of ABC.
The circle (X382, R) is here named the Hatzipolakis-Suppa Circle, or HS-circle.
Let Q=Q(P) be the point in which the three parallels concur. The following properties hold:
(X382, R) is the reflection of the circumcircle in the orthocenter H.
The appearance of {i, j} in the following list means that P=Xi lies on Euler line and Q(P)=Xj: {4,235}, {30,403}, {382,4}, {3146,5}, {3543,1596}, {5073,16868}, {10296,37984}, {10736,1312}, {10737,1313}, {12173,3089}, {15682,427}, {15684,7577}, {35480,25}, {35490,37197}, {44438,6623}
The appearance of {i, j} in the following list means that P=Xi lies on HS-circle and Q(P)=Xj: {10152,133}, {10721,125}, {10722,115}, {10723,114}, {10724,119}, {10725,118}, {10726,124}, {10727,116}, {10728,11}, {10729,5511}, {10730,5510}, {10731,25640}, {10732,117}, {10733,113}, {10734,5512}, {10735,132}, {10736,1312}, {10737,1313}, {14989,3258}
If P lies on HS-circle then Q(P) is the image of P under the homothety with center H and factor k = -1/2.
When P moves on the Euler line the locus of point Q(P) is the Euler line.
The function that maps the Euler line to the Euler line is here named the 1st Hatziplakis-Suppa transform (or 1st HS transform).
When P moves on HS-circle the locus of Q(P) is the nine-point circle of ABC.
The function that maps the HS-circle to the nine-point circle is here named the “2nd Hatzipolakis-Suppa” transform (or 2nd HS transform).

Let L2 = radical axis of (HS-circle, ninepoint-circle); thenX38253 = trilinear pole of L2X13473 = radical trace of (HS-circle,ninepoint-circle).Other points on HS-circle or on the nine-point circle are X44937-X44946 and X44967-X44992.
Other points on the Euler line are X44947-X44956.
X45010–X45124 — 1st and 2nd Aubert points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 6, 2021, based on a proposal by Ivan Pavlov. A complete quadrilateral Q formed by four lines ℓ1, ℓ2, ℓ3, ℓ4 is denoted here as Q = [ℓ1, ℓ2, ℓ3, ℓ4], or also as Q = [ABCD], if it is composed by lines AB, BC, CD, DA.
In every complete quadrilateral Q there are four component triangles, each bounded by three different lines of Q. It is well known that the orthocenters of these triangles are collinear on a line called the Aubert line (or Steiner line) of Q.
Let T ‘=A'B'C' and T″=A″B″C″ be two non-homothetic distinct triangles and let ℓa, ℓb, ℓc be the Aubert lines of quadrilaterals [B’C'B″C″], [C’A'C″A″] and [A’B'A″B″], respectively. Then ℓa, ℓb, ℓc concur in a point here named the 1st Aubert point of T’ and T”. (Note: If T' and T″ are homothetic, the described Aubert lines bound a triangle homothetic to T and T″).
In the following list, (T, i) means that the 1st Aubert point of ABC and triangle T is Xi. [list omitted here]. Let T ‘=A'B'C' and T″=A″B″C″ be two triangles and let ℓa, ℓb, ℓc be the Aubert lines of quadrilaterals [C’A'B'A″], [A’B'C'B″], [B’C'A'C″], respectively. Let A* = ℓb∩ℓc, B* = ℓc∩ℓa and C* = ℓa∩ℓb. Then, for some pairs of triangles T ‘ and T″, the lines A*A', B*B' and C*C' concur in a point here introduced as the 2nd Aubert point of T’ to T”.
In the following list, (T, i) means that the 2nd Aubert point of ABC to triangle T is Xi: [list omitted here].
Similarly, in the below list, (T, i) indicates that the 2nd Aubert point of triangle T to ABC is Xi: [list omitted here].
X45188–X45194 — V-perspeconics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 15, 2021. Let T' = A'B'C' and T″ = A″B″C″ be two perspective triangles, neither inscribed in the other. Denote A'b = A'B″ ∩ B'C' and A'c = A'C″ ∩ B'C', and cyclically B'c, B'a, C'a, C'b. Then these six points lie on a conic, here introduced as the V-perspeconic of T’ to T”. A reciprocal V-perspeconic T″ to T' is found by swapping T' and T″ in the previous construction.
The appearance of (T, i, j) in the following list means that the centers of the V-perspeconics of ABC-to-T and T-to-ABC are Xi and Xj, respectively:
(ABC-X3 reflections, 17807, 45188), (Ehrmann-mid, 45191, 45192), (outer-Garcia, 3588, 45189), (Gemini 107, 2, 2), (Gemini 109, 2, 2), (Gemini 110, 2, 2), (Gemini 111, 2, 2), (Johnson, 31353, 45190), (5th mixtilinear, 45193, 45194)
X45196–X45215 — Perspectors of Electra(B) triangles and cevian triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 17, 2021. In this paragraph (but not the next), all coordinates are trilinears. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\), where neither P nor U lies on a sideline of ABC. Let L(p,q,r,u,v,w) = p^2 * (v^2 + w^2) - u*(q v + r w), so that (as in the Glossary), the point \(L(u,v,w) : L(v,w,u) : L(w,u,v)\) is the P-line conjugate of U, which lies on this line: PU. Let A'B'C' be the anticevian triangle of U, so that A' = \(-u : w : w\), and B' and C' are determined cyclically. Let
A″ = P-line conjugate of A', and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″ is here named the (P,U)-Electra triangle. If P = X1 =\(1:1:1\), then the locus of a point X =\(x : y : z\) such that the cevian triangle of X is perspective to the (X1,U)-Electra triangle is given by
v (u + w) (v^2 + w^2 + u v - u w) y^2 z - w (u + v) (v^2 + w^2 + u w - v w) y z^2 + (cyclic) - (v - w)(w - u)(u - v)(u + v + w) x y z = 0
Next, suppose that all coordinates in the preceding paragraph are barycentrics. The triangle A″B″C″ is then the (X1,U)-Electra(B) triangle. The appearance of (i,j,k)) in the following list means that the (X1,Xi)-Electra(B) triangle is perspective to the cevian triangle of Xj, and the perspector is Xk:

X45238–X45255 — Vu-Miquel points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 20, 2021. Let :g:`ABC << A B C >>` be a triangle and :g:`A’ <A’>`, :g:`B’ <B’>`, :g:`C’ <C’>` three any points on the sidelines :g:`BC <[ B C ]>`, :g:`CA <[ C A ]>`, :g:`AB <[ A B ]>`, respectively. Miquel theorem states that three circles {{AB'C'}}, {{BC'A'}}, {{CA'B'}} have a common point.
Consider now two points P1 and P2. Then the three conics ({AB'C'P1P2}}, {{BC'A'P1P2}} and {{CA'B'P1P2}} have a common point other than P1 and P2. (Vu Thanh Tung, Euclid 2699, October 12, 2021).
The common intersection of that three conics is named here the Vu-Miquel point of (P1, P2) with respect to {A', B', C'}.
This section deals with Vu-Miquel points of (P1, P2) with respect to {A', B', C'} when A', B', C' are the cevian traces of a point P. Assume A'B'C' is the cevian triangle of a point P =\(U : V : W\) (trilinear coordinates used here), P1 =\(u_{1} : v_{1} : w_{1}\) and P2 =\(u_{2} : v_{2} : w_{2}\). Then the common point of the three conics is:Q(P, P1, P2) = ((U*\(d_{u}\) + V*\(d_{v}\) + W*\(d_{w})\)*U*V*W*\(s_{u}\) + (V^2*W^2*\(u_{1}\)*\(u_{2}\) - (V^2*\(w_{1}\)*\(w_{2}\) + W^2*\(v_{1}\)*\(v_{2})\)*U^2)*\(d_{u})\)*\(u_{1}\)*\(u_{2}\)/(V*\(d_{v}\) + W*\(d_{w})\) : :where \(d_{u}\), \(d_{v}\), \(d_{w}\) are the cyclic differences:\(d_{u}\) = \(v_{1}\)*\(w_{2}\) - \(v_{2}\)*\(w_{1}\), \(d_{v}\) = \(w_{1}\)*\(u_{2}\) - \(w_{2}\)*\(u_{1}\), \(d_{w}\) = \(u_{1}\)*\(v_{2}\) - \(u_{2}\)*\(v_{1}\)and \(s_{u}\), \(s_{v}\), \(s_{w}\) are the cyclic sums:\(s_{u}\) = \(v_{1}\)*\(w_{2}\) + \(v_{2}\)*\(w_{1}\), \(s_{v}\) = \(w_{1}\)*\(u_{2}\) + \(w_{2}\)*\(u_{1}\), \(s_{w}\) = \(u_{1}\)*\(v_{2}\) + \(u_{2}\)*\(v_{1}\)In the following list, (i, j, k, n) means that the Vu-Miquel point of (Xi, Xj) with respect to the cevian traces of Xk is Xn: (1, 2, 1, 192), (1, 3, 1, 3157), (1, 4, 1, 1148), (1, 5, 1, 45238), (1, 6, 1, 55), (1, 7, 1, 31526), (1, 8, 1, 19582), (1, 9, 1, 3158), (1, 10, 1, 3159), (1, 11, 1, 523), (1, 15, 1, 202), (1, 16, 1, 203), (1, 19, 1, 204), (1, 20, 1, 45239), (2, 6, 1, 45240), [and others]
X45256–X45265 — 1st and 2nd MacBeath-Simmons circles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 21, 2021. In a triangle ABC, let Ω1 and Ω2 be two circles, both passing through X125 and with centers X45256 and X45257, respectively. Their respective squared radius are:
ρ12 = (\(\sqrt{3}\)*(S^2+(4*R^2-SW)^2)*S-(16*R^2-5*SW)*S^2+(4*R^2-SW)*(16*R^4-3*SW*(4*R^2-SW)))/(2*(SW+\(\sqrt{3}\)*S-R^2))^2
ρ22 = (-\(\sqrt{3}\)*(S^2+(4*R^2-SW)^2)*S-(16*R^2-5*SW)*S^2+(4*R^2-SW)*(16*R^4-3*SW*(4*R^2-SW)))/(2*(SW-\(\sqrt{3}\)*S-R^2))^2
Some properties of these circles are:
Ω1 and Ω2 pass through X125 and X137, both points on the nine-point circle of ABC. Therefore Ω1, Ω2 and the nine-point circle of ABC are coaxial. Ω1 is the bicevian conic (or cyclocevian circle) of X19712 and X41898. Ω2 is the bicevian conic (or cyclocevian circle) of X19713 and X41897. If ABC is acute then Ω1 passes through the four intersections of MacBeath inconic (foci X3 and X4) and 1st Simmons inconic (foci X13 and X15). If ABC is obtuse then Ω2 passes through the four intersections of MacBeath inconic and 2nd Simmons conic (foci X14 and X16).
Ω1 and Ω2 are named here the 1st MacbBeath-Simmons circle and the 2nd MacbBeath-Simmons circle, respectively.
Note: Simmons conics were introduced in the preamble just before X41993.
X45266–X45285 — (B)-line conjugates
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 21, 2021. If points P and U, given by trilinears P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) are distinct, and neither lies on a sideline BC, CA, AB, then the P-line conjugate of U is the point given by trilinears
p(v^2 + w^2) - u(qv + rw) : q(w^2 + u^2) - v(rw + pu) : r(u^2 + v^2) - w(pu + qv).
Now suppose that P and Q have barycentrics \(p : q : r\) and \(u : v : w\), and define the P-(B)line conjugate of U as the point F(P,U) given by barycentrics
p(v^2 + w^2) - u(qv + rw) : q(w^2 + u^2) - v(rw + pu) : r(u^2 + v^2) - w(pu + qv).
The points X45266 - X45385 are (B)line conjugates.
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that Xi and Xj are on the Euler line and F(Xi) = Xj, so that also, F(Xj) = Xi:
(2,30), {3,297), (4,441), (5,401), (20,44334), (30,2), (140,40853), (297,3), (376,44216), (381,40884), (384,21536), (401,5), (427,15013), [and others].

X45289–X45297 — 12th Vijay transforms
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 24, 2021. The Vijay 12th parallel transform, V12, is defined in the preamble just before X43970 as follows: if U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics), then
V12(U) = v*w^2 - 3*u*w^2 + v^2*w + 2*u*v*w + u^2*w - 3*u*v^2 + u^2*v : :
Let KK denote the cubic that is the isotomic conjugate of K015. If X lies on infinity line or the Steiner circumellipse, then V12(X) lies on KK. The appearance of (i,j) in the following examples means that V12(Xi) = Xj:
(30,45289), (512,44007), (513,44008), (514,44009), (519,20042), (522,45290), (523,44010), (524,45291), (525,45292), (527,45293), (690,45294), (900,48295).
X45310–X45693 — and X45657-X45693, Midpoints of X2 and other points
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 31, 2021. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) (barycentrics). Then the P-(B):term:line conjugate <line-conjugate> of the line L at infinity is the point
a*(v^2 + w^2) + (v + w)*(b*v + c*w) : :
The locus of this point as U ranges through L is the ellipse, E(P,L), given by
(q + r) x^2 + (r + p) y^2 + (p + q) z^2 - (q + r) y z - (r + p) z x - (p + q) x y = 0.
The center of E(P,L) is the midpoint of X2 and P, with barycentrics
4 p + q + r : p + 4 q + r : p + q + 4r.
The perspector E(P,L) is 1/(p^2 + 2 q^2 + 2 r^2 + 5 q r + p q + p r) : : .
The major axis of E(P,L) is parallel to the major axis of the Steiner circumellipse, and the minor axis of E(P,L) is parallel to the minor axis of the Steiner circumellipse. Thus, the ellipse E(P,L) is simply and translation and dilation of the Steiner circumellipse.
X45345–X45656 — Inverse triangles and anti-triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 30, 2021. Inverse triangles were introduced by Peter Moses in the preamble just before X42005 with more or less these terms: Suppose that T = A'B'C' is a triangle with vertices A', B', C' represented in normalized barycentric coordinates. Let M be the matrix representation of A'B'C', and let \(M^{-1}\) denote the inverse of M. Then the rows of \(M^{-1}\), interpreted as vertices of a triangle \(T^{-1}\), define the inverse triangle of A'B'C'.
Matrices M and \(M^{-1}\) algebraically behave as expected; i.e., products of matrices M.\(M^{-1}\) = \(M^{-1}\).M = (3x3)-identity matrix, which represents ABC. Then it should be reasonable to expect that triangles T-of-\(T^{-1}\) and \(T^{-1}\)-of-T should be both ABC, in other words, that \(T^{-1}\) is the anti-triangle-of-T and vice-versa, but actually, this only occurs when T and ABC are similar or homothetic and, in both cases, T ‘ and T are homothetic triangles.
The following properties can be deduced: [list and table omitted here].

X45738–X45744 — Perspectors involving the Dao triangle
This preamble, based on notes from Dao Thanh Oai, was contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, Novermber 2, 2021, with amendments by Randy Hutson, November 7, 2021. Let (a) denote the A-Soddy ellipse, through A that has foci B and C. Define (b) and (c) cyclically. (The A-Soddy ellipse is defined by Randy Hutson at X6349. The A-Soddy hyperbola also passes through A and has foci B and C; see Paul Yiu, Introduction to the Geometry of the Triangle, p. 143). . Let
d(a) = (b)∩(c); d(b) = (c)∩(a); d(c) = (a)∩(b); the lines d(a), d(b), d(c) concur in X20.
A' = d(a)∩BC; B' = d(b)∩CA; C' = d(c)∩AB; the lines AA″, BB″, CC″ concur in X1043.
The triangle A'B'C', here named the Dao triangle, is perspective to certain other triangles, with perspectors X45738-X45744. (Actually, the Dao triangle is the cevian triangle of X1043; Randy Hutson, November 7, 2021)
The conic (a),
2*(a^2 + b^2 + 2*b*c + c^2)*y*z + 4*(b + c)*x*(c*y + b*z) - (a - b - c)*(a + b + c)*(y^2 + z^2) = 0,
passes through the A-vertex of these triangles: anticomplementary, orthic-of-anticomplementary (also called the Gemini 113 triangle, the dual of the orthic triangle, the 1st anti-circumperp triangle, and the circumanticevian triangle of X2).
The line d(a) is given by
(b - c)*(a + b + c)^2*x + (a + b - c)^2*(a + c)*y + (-a - b)*(a - b + c)^2*z = 0. The A-vertex of the Dao triangles is
A' = 0 : (a + b)*(a - b + c)^2 : (a + b - c)^2*(a + c),
The Dao triangle is perspective to every anticevian triangle; specifically, if P =\(p : q : r\), then the perspector is
p ((a + b - c)^2*(a - b + c)^2*(b + c)*p - (a - b - c)^2*(a + b - c)^2*(a + c)*q - (a + b)*(a - b - c)^2*(a - b + c)^2*r) : :
If P lies on the cubic K004, then A'B'C' is perspective to the antipedal triangle of P.
The conics (b) and (c) meet in two real points, assumed in the discussion above, and also two nonreal points, considered here. In this case, the points d(a), d(b), d(c) are nonreal, and the vertices A', B', C', given by
A' = 0 : -a - b : a + c, B' = b + a, 0, -b - c, C' = -c - a, c + b, 0,
are collinear on this line:
(b + c) x + (c + a) y + (a + b) z = 0,
which passes through Xi for these i: 239, 514, 649, 1019, 1021, 3218, 3798, 4025, 4063, 4091, [and others].

X46894–X46919 — Type 1 Pappus points
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, February 9-10, 2022. In the plane of a triangle ABC, suppose that L1, given by l1 x + m1 y + n1 z = 0, is a line, and P1 =\(p1:q1:r1\) is a point not on L1 and not on a sideline BC, CA, AB. The cevians of P1 are the lines AP1, BP1, CP1, for which coefficients are
\(0 : q : r\),\(p : 0 : r\),\(p : q : 0\), respectively. Let
Ap = L1∩AP1, Bp = L2∩BP1, Cp = L2∩CP1
Similarly, suppose that L2, given by l2 x + m2 y + n2 z = 0, is another line, and that P2 =\(p2:q2:r2\) is a point not on L2 and not on a sideline BC, CA, AB. Let
Au = L2∩AP2, Bu = L2∩BP2, Cu = L2∩CP2
By Pappus’s Theorem, the points
BpCu∩CpBu, CpAu∩ApCu, ApBu∩BpAu
are collinear (on the Pappus line of the configuration). The Type 1 Pappus Point of L1, P1, L2, P2 is the point whose barycentrics are coefficients of the Pappus line. Barycentrics for this point follow:

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, February 20, 2022.For an introduction to inverse triangles, see the preambles just before X42005, X43280, and X43343. This present section extends the section consisting of X43344-X43363.
Let O = X3 = circumcenter fo ABC, and suppose that P is a point not on a sideline BC, CA, AB. Let T be the circumcevian triangle of P, and let T' be the inverse of T, as defined in the preamble just before X42005. Then T and T' are perspective, and the perspector is the point on the circumcircle whose isogonal conjugate is the infinite point of intersection of all the lines perpendicular to OP. (Francisco Javier García Capitán , February 19, 2022)
Continuing, let U be the isogonal conjugate just mentioned. The line OP meets the infinity line in the orthogonal conjugate of U. For a discussion of orthogonal conjugates, see Clark Kimberling, “Polynomial triangle centers on the line at infinity”: Journal of Geometry 111, Article 10)
The appearance of (h,j,k) in the following list means that Xj is the perspector of the circumcevian triangle of X(h) and its inverse triangle, as defined near in the preamble just before X42005, and that Xj is the trilinear pole of X6Xj.

X47090–X47101 — Shinagawa-Euler Points
based on notes by Kiminari Shinagawa, contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, March 8, 2022. The Euler coordinate system consists of an x-axis (the Euler line) and y-axis (the orthic axis). The axes meet in the origin, X468 = (0,0). Points on the x-axis and on the same side of (0,0) as the centroid, G, have positive x-coordinates. Points on the y-axis and on the same side of (0,0) as the bicentric point P(201) have positive y-coordinates.
A point with barycentrics \(p : q : r\) has Euler coordinates (x,y) given by
x = (SA*p + SB*q + SC*r)/(p+q+r)y = (SA(SB-SC)*p + SB(SC-SA)*q +SC(SA - SB)*r)/(p+q+r).To convert from Euler coordinates (x,y) to barycentrics \(p : q : r\), let
S^2 = SB*SC + SC*SA + SA*SB = 4*(area of ABC)^2E = (SB + SC)(SC + SA)(SA + SB)/S^2F = SA*SB*SC/S^2.Then
p = (E+F)*SB*SC - 3F S^2 - (3SB*SC-S^2)x + (SB-SC)yq = (E+F)*SC*SA - 3F S^2 - (3SC*SA-S^2)x + (SC-SA)yr = (E+F)*SA*SB - 3F S^2 - (3SA*SB-S^2)x + (SA-SB)yNote that x must have degree 2 in a,b,c, and y must have degree 4.
The appearance of (x,0;n) in the following list means that the point with Euler coordinates (x,0) is Xn:
{(E/2,0); 10257}, {(-E/2,0); 37971}, {(E+F,0); 858}, {(2(E+F),0); 46517}, {(3(E+F),0); 5189}, {((E+F)/4,0);37911}, {(E-F,0); 2071}, {(F,0); 403}, {(2F,0); 10151}, {(4F,0); 13473}, {(F/2,0); 37942}, {(F/3,0); 37779}, {(-F,0); 186}, {(-2F,0); 37931}, {(-F/2,0); 37935}
The appearance of (\(\$f(a,b,c)\$\),0;n) in the next list means that the point with Euler coordinates (f(a,b,c)+f(b,c,a)+f(c,a,b),0) is Xn, and that the point lies on the positive x-axis for all non-equilateral triangles:
{(\(\$a^{2}\$\),0); 46517}, {(\(\$a^{2}\$\)/4,0); 5159}, {(\(\$a^{2}\$\)/6,0); 2}, {(\(\$aSA\$\)/\(\$a\$\),0);3109}}

Points X47122-X47139. Suppose that X =\(x : y : z\), and let D(X) = SB z - SC y : : . Then D(X) lies on the orthic axis; indeed,
D(X) = crossdifference of every pair of points on the line X3X*, where X* = isogonal conjugate of isotomic conjugate of X. (Note that SB z - SC y : : lies on the orthic axis, whereas SB y - SC z : : lies on the line at infinity.
The appearance of {h,k} in the following list means that Xk = D(X(h)): {1,6590}, {2,523}, {3,2501}, {4,647}, {5, 47122}, {6,523}, {7,650}, {8,650}, {9,47123}, {10,45745}, [and others].
Points X47140-X47192. The appearance of {h,k} in the following list means that the line through X(h) parallel to the Euler line meets the orthic axis in Xk:
{1,16272}, {6,16303}, {8,16304}, {10,16305}, {11,47140}, {12,47160}, {13,47141}, {14,47142}, {19,47161}, {32,16306}, {37,16307}, {39,16308}, {40,16309}, [and others].
Points X47193-X47195. The appearance of {i, j; k} in the following list means that Xk = Xi-line conjugate of Xj:
{230, 231; 47193}{230, 232; 47194}{230, 2501; 47195}{231, 230; 46953}{232, 230; 46953}{230, 647; 468}{647, 230; 46953}[and others].Points X47196-X47198. The appearance of {h, i; j, k} in the following list means that Xk = {Xi, Xj-harmonic conjugate of X(h), so that also, X(h) = {Xi, Xj-harmonic conjugate of Xk: {230,231,232 47196}, {230,231,468,47197}, {230,468, 647,47198}
Points X47199-X47236. Four circles with center on the orthic axis are these: Stevanovic circle, Dao-Moses-Telv circle, Moses radical circle, and Moses-Parry circle. If P is a point on the orthic axis and (O) is a circle with center on the orthic axis, then the (O)(-inverse of P is also on the orthic axis, as exemplified by X47199-X47236.
X47332–X47342 — Shinagawa-Euler points
contributed by Peter Moses, Kiminari Shinagawa, and Clark Kimberling, April 1, 2022. Suppose that P and U are points, neither on the line at infinity, and that normed (i.e., “normalized”) barycentrcis are given by P= (p,q,r) and U = (u,v,w) Then the point P-U defined by the combo p-u : q - v : r - w is on the line at infinity. Let T(P,U) denote the point with Euler coordinates (x,y) given by
x = SA*(p-u) + SB*(q - r) + SC*(r - w)y = SA*(SB - SC)*(p-u) + SB*(SC - SA)*(q - r) + SC*(SA - SB)*(r - w)If P and U are on the Euler line, then y = 0, and P - U = X30, and T(P,U) lies on the Euler line. The appearance of (i,j;k) in the following list means that T(Xi,Xj) = Xk.

X47371–X47398 — Two-parallels points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, March 27, 2022. Let AA1, BB1, CC1 be the altitudes in acute triangle ABC, and let X be an arbitrary point. Let M, N, P, Q, R, S be the feet of the perpendiculars from X to the lines AA1,BC,BB1,CA,CC1,AB. Prove that MN, PQ, RS are concurrent. (Source: AOPS 713159, Dec 29, 2006.)
The above can be generalized as follows: Let ABC be a triangle, X a point and P another point not on the side lines of ABC or on the cevian lines of X. The parallel lines through P to AX and BC cut BC and AX at A' and A″, respectively; B', B″ and C', C″ are built cyclically. Then the lines A'A″, B'B″, C'C″ concur.
The point of intersection Q(X, P) of A'A″, B'B″, C'C″ is named here the X-two parallels point of-P. If X =\(X : Y : Z\) and P =\(x : y : z\) (both barycentrics) then:
Q(X, P) = x*(-Y*Z*x^2 + (Y + Z)*X*y*z + (Y*z + Z*y)*X*x) : :
Some properties: Q(X, P) is the midpoint of P and the X-Ceva conjugate of P. (Randy Hutson, March 28, 2022) For P on the line at infinity, Q(X, P) = P. For X=X2, Q(X,P) is W(P), the center of the parallel-conic described above X10001. If X=X4 and P lies on the nine-point-circle of ABC, then Q(X,P) is the complementary conjugate of P.
The appearance of (i, j, k) in the following lists means that Xi- two parallels point of -Xj is Xk: [long lists omitted here].
X47405–X47434 — Points on the bicevian conic of X3 and X6
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, undated. Let BCC denote the bicevian conic of X3 and X6, which is given by the equation
b^4*c^4*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*x^2 - 2*a^2*b^2*c^6*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*x*y - a^4*c^4*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*y^2 - 2*a^2*b^6*c^2*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*x*z + 2*a^6*b^2*c^2*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*y*z - a^4*b^4*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*z^2 = 0.
This conic passes through the points Xi for these i: 3269, 7117, 9475, 15166, 15167, 20728, 20830, 20975, 22084, 22428. Bernard Gibert has noted that if P is a point on the line at infinity, then the X3-Ceva conjugate of the barycentric product X6*P is on BCC. (Equivalently, the X6-Ceva conjugate of X3*P is on BCC.) The line of P and the X3-Ceva conjugate of X6*P is tangent to the Steiner inellipse, which is bitangent to BCC. Moreover, if X is on the nine-point circle, then the isogonal conjugate of the polar conjugate of X is on BCC.

These definitions follow C. Kimberling, “Functional equations associated with triangle geometry,” Aequationes Mathematicae 45 (1993) 127-152. The triangle center P is minor if p(a,b,c) is invariant of a. (This definition is not closely related to “major” triangle center, defined elsewhere as a center that can be expressed in barycentrics \(m(A,B,C) : m(B,C,A) : m(C,A,B)\) such that m(A, B, C) is invariant of B and C.)

X50032–X50040 — Miyamoto-Lozada centers
. The centers X50032 - X50040, except for X50039, were noted and conjectured by Keita Miyamoto, and confirmed by César Lozada. All the barycentric coordinates and other properties were found by Lozada, who also discovered X50039.
These centers are associated with circles tangent to the 3 excircles. In particular, X50037, X50038, X50040 involve Hart circles of the excircles. (See Mathworld: Hart’s Theorem.)
Here, the notation (O) means a circle with center O. Let (Ea), (Eb), (Ec) denote the excircles, and let (S) be their radical circle. There are 8 lines or circles each of which is tangent to (Ea), (Eb), (Ec) simultaneously. These 8 are:
sidelines AB, BC, CA;nine-point circle (N);Apollonius circle (Ap); note that (Ap) is the (S)-inverse of (N);The three Jenkins circles (Ja), (Jb), (Jc); the A-Jenkins circle (Ja) is the (S)–inverse of BC; and (Jb) and (Jc) are defined cyclically.Hart’s theorem states that generally, other than (Ea), (Eb), (Ec), there are 14 circles in total each of which is tangent to 4 of the 8 simultaneously. Following are the 14 Hart circles of the excircles:
The incircle (I) is tangent to AB, BC, CA, internally tangent to (N).The Moses hull circle (M) is (internally or externally) tangent to (Ja), (Jb), (Jc), (Ap). (If S lies on (I), then (M) is a line.)(O1) is tangent to AB and CA, internally tangent to (Jb) and (Jc); the circles (O2) and (O3) are defined cyclically.(O4) is tangent to BC, internally tangent to (Ap) and (Ja), and externally tangent to (N); the circles (O5) and (O6) are defined cyclically.(O7) is tangent to BC, internally tangent to (N), and externally tangent to (Jb) and (Jc); the circles (O8) and (O9) are defined cyclically.(O10) is tangent to AB and CA, and externally tangent to (Ap) and (Ja); the circles (O11) and (O12) are defined cyclically.Among the 14 Hart circles, the 6 Hart circles (O1), (O2), (O3), (O4), (O5), (O6) are orthogonal to (S), while the 4 Hart circles (M), (O10), (O11), (O12) are the (S)-inverses of the other 4: (I), (O7), (O8), (O9), respectively. Clearly, IM, O7O10, O8O11, O9O12 concur in S = X10. Also, O1O4, O2O5, O3O6 concur in X50037.

X52302–X52343 — 4th tangent line ot two inconics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 5, 2022. Let ABC be a triangle, P1 =\(x_{1} : y_{1} : z_{1}\), P2 =\(x_{2} : y_{2} : z_{2}\) (barycentrics) two distinct points on the plane of ABC and not on the sidelines of ABC. Let \(q_{1}\), \(q_{2}\) be the inconics of ABC with perspectors P1 and P2, respectively.
There exists a 4th-common tangent line τ to \(q_{1}\) and \(q_{2}\), other than the sidelines of ABC. It can be deduced that: The trilinear pole of τ has barycentrics:Q(τ) = \(x_{1}\)*\(x_{2}\)*(\(y_{1}\)*\(z_{2}\)-\(y_{2}\)*\(z_{1})\) : \(y_{1}\)*\(y_{2}\)*(\(x_{2}\)*\(z_{1}\)-\(x_{1}\)*\(z_{2})\) : \(z_{1}\)*\(z_{2}\)*(\(x_{1}\)*\(y_{2}\)-\(x_{2}\)*\(y_{1})\) The touchpoints T1, T2 of τ with \(q_{1}\), \(q_{2}\), respectively, are:T1 = \(x_{1}\)*\(x_{2}\)^2*(\(y_{1}\)*\(z_{2}\)-\(y_{2}\)*\(z_{1})\)^2 : \(y_{1}\)*\(y_{2}\)^2*(\(x_{2}\)*\(z_{1}\)-\(x_{1}\)*\(z_{2})\)^2 : \(z_{1}\)*\(z_{2}\)^2*(\(x_{1}\)*\(y_{2}\)-\(x_{2}\)*\(y_{1})\)^2T2 = \(x_{2}\)*\(x_{1}\)^2*(\(y_{2}\)*\(z_{1}\)-\(y_{1}\)*\(z_{2})\)^2 : \(y_{2}\)*\(y_{1}\)^2*(\(x_{1}\)*\(z_{2}\)-\(x_{2}\)*\(z_{1})\)^2 : \(z_{2}\)*\(z_{1}\)^2*(\(x_{2}\)*\(y_{1}\)-\(x_{1}\)*\(y_{2})\)^2The preceding coordinates have the following equivalences leading to geometric constructions of τ, T1 and T2: Q(τ) is the perspector of the circumconic of ABC passing through P1 and P2.
Consequently, if U' and U″ are two given points and \(q_{0}\) is the circumconic {{A, B, C,U',U″}}, then, for any pair of points P', P″ on \(q_{0}\), the inconics with perspectors P', P″ have the same 4th common tangent line and it is tripolar of the perspector of \(q_{0}\).
T1 is the perspector of the cevian-triangle-of-P1 and the side-triangle-of-(cevian-triangle-of-P1 and cevian-triangle-of-P2), which are always`perspective. (Note: the side-triangle AsBsCs of two triangles A'B'C' and A″B″C″ has A-vertex As = B'C' ∩ B″C″ and cyclically Bs and Cs).Symmetrically, T2 is the perspector of the cevian-triangle-of-P2 and the side-triangle-of-(cevian-triangle-of-P1 and cevian-triangle-of-P2).See centers X41211 to X41224, which are related to analogous perspectors. T1 is also the P1-ceva conjugate of-Q(τ) and T2 is also the P2-ceva conjugate of-Q(τ), which means that T1 is the perspector(cevian-of-P1, anticevian-of-Q(τ)) and T2 is the perspector(cevian-of-P2, anticevian-of-Q(τ)).For shortening, the inconic with perspector U will be denoted in this section as IwP(U).
The appearance of (i, j, m, n, u) in the following (reduced) list indicates that the 4th common tangent line of IwP(Xi) and IwP(Xj) touches them at X(m) and Xn, respectively, and has trilinear pole X(u): (1, 2, 244, 1015, 513), (1, 3, 2638, 3270, 652), (1, 4, 2310, 3270, 650), (1, 5, 41211, 41218, 2600), (1, 6, 3248, 1015, 649), (1, 7, 2310, 3022, 650), (1, 8, 2310, 3271, 650), (1, 10, 2643, 3122, 661), (1, 11, 52302, 52303, 46384), (2, 3, 35071, 2972, 520), (2, 4, 115, 125, 523), (2, 5, 39019, 35442, 6368), (2, 6, 1084, 3124, 512), [and others].

q’ circumscribes ABC and passes through Xn for these n: {2, 4, 3434, 4846, 11185, 14593, 30513, 34029, 41370, 52448, 52449, 52450, 52451, 52452, 52453, 52454, 52455, 52456}.

X52522–X52523 — Lachance-Moses-Briancon points
based on notes from Michael Lachance and Peter Moses, November, 2022. In the plane of a triangle ABC, suppose that
A' =\(a_{1} : a_{2} : a_{3}\)B' =\(b_{1} : b_{2} : b_{3}\)C' =\(c_{1} : c_{2} : c_{3}\)are points on the circumcircle.Let Ab = AB∩B'C' = (\(c^{2}\)\(b_{1}\) + \(a^{2}\)\(b_{3})\)\(c_{1}\) : \(a^{2}\)\(b_{3}\)\(c_{2}\) : 0, and define Bc and Ca cyclically.Let Ac = AC∩B'C' = (\(b^{2}\)\(c_{1}\) + \(a^{2}\)\(c_{2})\)\(b_{1} : 0 : a\)2\(b_{3}\)\(c_{2}\), and define Ba and Cb cyclically.
Then the lines BaCa, CbAb, AcBc concur in the Brianchon point of the hexagon {{H(Ab, Ba, Bc, Cb, Cb, Ac, Ab)}}. This point, denoted by LMB(A, B, C,A',B',C'), is given by the following barycentrics:
\(a_{2}\)\(a_{3}\)\(b_{1}\)\(c_{1}(b^{2}b_{3}c_{1} + c^{2}b_{1}c_{2} + a^{2}b_{3}c_{2})\) : :
The following conic is inscribed in ABC:
\(a^{4}\) \(b_{3}\)^2 \(c_{2}\)^2 (\(c^{2}\) \(a_{2}\) + \(b^{2}\) \(a_{3})\)2 \(x^{2}\) + (cyclic) - 2 \(b^{2}\) \(c^{2}\) \(a_{2}\) \(a_{3}\) \(b_{1}\) \(c_{1}\) (\(a^{2}\) \(b_{3}\) + \(c^{2}\) \(b_{1})\)(\(a^{2}\) \(c_{2}\) + \(b^{2}\) \(c_{1})\) y z - (cyclic) = 0
In particular, if A'B'C' is the circumtangential triangle, then LMB(A, B, C,A',B',C') = X52522, and the inscribed conic is the Kiepert parabola. If A'B'C' is the circumnormal triangle, then LMB(A, B, C,A',B',C') = X52523.

Clawson, #2898, The American Mathematical Monthly, Vol. 29, No. 5 (May, 1922), pp. 230-231.)
The center of the circle Ω is the point QL-P5 in the Encyclopedia of Quadri-Figures.
In this section, three of the lines are the sidelines of a reference triangle ABC and the fourth line is given. Assume this last line is the polar trilinear of P =\(x : y : z\), then the center of Ω is given by:Ωo(P) = a^2*(x*(y^2-z^2)*(-a^2+b^2+c^2)+y*z*(-2*(b^2-c^2)*x+(a^2-c^2)*y-(a^2-b^2)*z)-(-a^2+b^2+2*c^2)*x^2*y+(-a^2+2*b^2+c^2)*z*x^2) : :and the point 𝒬, obviously on the circumcircle of ABC, is:𝒬(P) = a^2*(x-y)*(x-z) : :, which corresponds to the isogonal conjugate of - the infinite point of - the tripolar of - the isotomic conjugate of P.The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that Ωo(Xi) = Xj: (1, 52726), (3, 52737), (4, 44810), (5, 52738), (6, 14270), (7, 52730), (8, 52739), (9, 52740), (10, 44827), (25, 25644), (69, 8552), (76, 44826), (94, 14809), (107, 52734), (110, 52727), (111, 44821), (190, 52732), [and others].
X52746–X52768 — Tripolar Centroidal Conjugates
based on a definition and notes by Bernard Gibert; see Tripolar Centroidal Cubics. Suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) is a point in the plane of a triangle ABC. The tripolar centroidal conjugate of P is given by
TCC(P) = (-2 p + q + r) (p q - 2 p r + q r) (-2 p q + p r + q r) : :
and TCC(P) = P if and only if P lies on the cubic K015.
Let U = the infinite point of the line GP, and let P' = tripolar centroid of P. Then TCCP is the trilinear pole of the line UP'.
X53805 — Miyamoto-Moses Points
Part 1 is based on notes and figures by Keita Miyamoto. Part 2 is based on notes from Keita Miyamoto and Peter Moses.
Part 1.
Proposition 1.1 (inner case).
In a scalene acute triangle ABC, let MaMbMc be its medial triangle. Let Ωa be the circle centered at Ma and passing through B and C, and define Ωb and Ωc cyclically. Inside ABC, let γa be the circle externally tangent to lines CA, AB,Ωa, and define γb and γc cyclically. Inside ABC, let γ be the circle internally tangent to Ωa, Ωb, Ωc. Then there exists a circle Γ that is tangent to the four circles γ, γa, γb, γc.
Let Z1 denote the touchpoint of Γ and γ, and let Z2 denote the center of Γ. The points Z1 and Z2 are the triangle centers X52807 and X52805, respectively. Here, the circle Γ is named the 1st Miyamoto-Moses-Apollonius circle, and the circle internally tangent to γa, γb and γc is named the 2nd Miyamoto-Moses-Apollonius circle. Let Ta be the touchpoint of Γ and γa, and define Tb and Tc cyclically. Here, the triangle TaTbTc is named the 1st-Miyamoto-Moses-Apollonius triangle. See Figure 1.
Proposition 1.1 also holds when ABC is an obtuse triangle. In this case, suppose that angle A is obtuse. Let Hb be the point of intersection, other than A, of Ωc and line CA. Let Hc be the point of intersection, other than A, of Ωb and line AB. Let γa be the circle internally tangent to Ωa and segments AHb and AHc. This circle lies outside ABC, as in Figure 2.
Proposition 1.2 (outer case).
In a scalene acute triangle ABC, let MaMbMc be its medial triangle. Let Ωa be the circle centered at Ma and passing through B and C, and define Ωb and Ωc cyclically. Let γa be the larger of the two circles internally tangent to lines CA, AB, Ωa, and define γb and γc cyclically. Outside ABC, let γ be the circle internally tangent to Ωa, Ωb, Ωc. Then there exists a circle Γ that is tangent to the four circles γ, γa, γb, γc.
Let Z3 denote the touchpoint of Γ and γ, and let Z4 denote the center of Γ, as in Figure 3. The points Z3 and Z4 are the triangle centers X52810 and X52808, respectively. Here, the circle Γ is named the 3rd Miyamoto-Moses-Apollonius circle, and the circle internally tangent to γa, γb, γc other than Γ, is named the 4th Miyamoto-Moses-Apollonius circle. Let Ta be the touchpoint of Γ and γa, and define Tb and Tc cyclically. Here, the triangle TaTbTc is named the 2nd Miyamoto-Moses-Apollonius triangle.
Proposition 1.2 also holds when ABC is an obtuse triangle. In this case, suppose that angle A is obtuse. Let γa; be the smaller of the two circles, etc., as in Figure 4.
It appears that Propositions 1.1 and 1.2 hold for any three circles Ωa, Ωb, Ωc, each of which passes through two of the three points A, B, C. Next, Proposition 1* treats an example of this sort.
Proposition 1*.
In a scalene acute triangle ABC, let TanaTanbTanc be the tangential triangle. Let Ωa be the circle centered at Tana and pssing through B and C, and define Ωb and Ωc cyclically. Let γa be a circle tangent (internally or externally) to lines CA, AB, Ωa, and define γb and γc cyclically. Let γ be the circle tangent to Ωa, Ωb, Ωc. Then there exists a circle Γ that is tangent to the four circles γ, γa, γb, γc.
For Proposition 1*, there are 4 cases, as indicated by these figures: Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8. The 4 cases depend on internal and external tangencies.
Proposition 2.
Let γ be the incircle of ABC. Let γa be the circle through B and C and internally tangent to γ. Define γb and γc cyclically. Outside ABC, let Γa be the circle externally tangent to CA, AB, γa, and let A' be the center of Γa. Define Γb and Γc cyclically, and define B' and C' cyclically. Let La be the external common tangent, other than BC, of Γb and Γc, so that La is the reflection of BC in B'C'. Define Lb and Lc cyclically. Let A″=Lb∩Lc, and define B″ and C″ cyclically. The triangle A″B″C″ is perspective to ABC. The perspector is denoted by Z5 in Figure 9. The point Z5 is the triangle center X52817. Here, the triangle A'B'C' is named the Miyamoto-Moses triangle.
Part 2.
Barycentrics for points defined in Part 1 are shown below and in a sequel to Figure 1 in GeoGebra: Figure 10. This file has a slider that can be used to observe the effect of changing S to - S in the barycentrics. In particular, the transformation S -> - S takes X14121 to X7090.
The point Z5 shown in Figure 9, appears as P in Figure 11, and P = X52817.
The circles γa, γb;, γc have a Chinese name that translates roughly as pseudo-circumcircles. For example, let U denote the circular hull of the pseudo-circumcircles that pass through 2 vertices and are tangent to the incircle. Their circular hull has center O = X3 and radius R + r/2. In Figure 12, the points labeled tA and tA’ are given by barycentrics as follows:
tA = 4*a^2*(a + b - c)*(a - b + c) : -((a - b - c)*(a + b - c)^3) : -((a - b - c)*(a - b + c)^3)
tA’= 2*a^2 : a^2 - 2*a*b - b^2 - 2*a*c + c^2 : a^2 - 2*a*b + b^2 - 2*a*c - c^2
If P =\(p : q : r\) is a point on the circumcircle, then the point
P' = (a^2*b^2 - b^4 + 4*a^2*b*c + 4*a*b^2*c + a^2*c^2 + 4*a*b*c^2 + 2*b^2*c^2 - c^4)*p + a^2*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*(q + r) : :
lies on the the circular hull. The point P' is here named the Moses-Apollonius transform of P. Examples are X52820 to X52834.
X53006–X53007 — Miyamoto-Moses Points
This preamble continues the preamble just before X52805. It is based on proposition 3 by Keita Miyamoto, with barycentrics found by Peter Moses.
Proposition 3.
In a scalene acute triangle ABC, let T = TaTbTc be the intouch triangle of ABC. Let γ be the incircle of T, and let Γa be the A-excircle of ATbTc. Define Γb and Γc cyclically. Let γa be the circle tangent to TbTc and internally tangent to the incircle of ABC at Ta. Define γb and γc cyclically. Then there exists a circle ω that is tangent to all seven of the circles γ, Γa, Γb, Γc, γa, γb, γc. Here the circle ω is named the Miyamoto-Moses circle.
The center of Γa, which is the A-vertex of the 2nd midarc triangle (see X10491, given by
a*b - b^2 + a*c + 2*b*c - c^2 - 2*x : b*(-a + b + c) : -((a - b - c)*c : : , where
x = sqrt[b*c*(a + b - c)*(a - b + c)] = 2*b*c sin(A/2), and y and z are defined cyclically.
The radius of Γa, is
((2*b*c + x)*S)/(2*b*c*(a + b + c)) = r*(1 + Sin[A/2])
The touch-point of Γa and ω, denoted by a2 in Proposition 3 (GeoGebra)., is given by [expression omitted here].
The center of the circle γa is given by
2*a*x : 2*b*(a + b - c)*c + x*(-a + b + c) : 2*b*c*(a - b + c) + x*(-a + b + c)
Let Z6 be the touch-point of the circles ω and γ. Then Z6 = X53006, and Z6-of-T = X1357.
Let Z7 by the center of circle ω. Then Z7 = X53007, and Z7-of-T = X53002. The triangle a2b2c2 is perspective to ABC at X10489 and to the 2nd mid-arc triangle at X53007. The triangle a3b3c3 is perspective to the intouch triangle at X10489.
X53246–X53580 — Intersections of lines tangent to conics
contributed by Clark Kimberling (definitions and presentation) and Peter Moses (formulas, data, and properties), April 25-May 1, 2023. Suppose that U and X are distinct points on a conic sΓ. Let (U) be the line tangent to Γ at U, and Let (X) be the line tangent to Γ at X. Define \(F(U,X) = (U)\)∩(X). Listed here are conics for which F(U,X) appears for selected pairs of points U and X:
circumcircle: X53246-X53330, X53384, X52385Steiner circumellipse: X53331-X53383Bevan circle: X53389-X53412Stevanovich circel: X53389, X43413other circumconics: X53386-X533898Kiepert circumhyperbola: X54314-X54520incircle: X54521-X54563nine-point circle: X53564-X53577Yff parabala: X53588-X535602Suppose P =\(p: q : r\) is a point and Γ is the circumconic with perspector P. If U =\(u : v : w\) and X =\(x : y : z\), then the point \(f : g : h\) : F(U,X) is given by the following barycentrics:
\(f : g : h\) : p(wy+vz)( (2qu+pv+qv-rv)x + (2pv+pu+qu-ru)y )( (2ru+pw+rw-qw)x + (2pw+pu+ru-qu)z ) : :
In this case, \(F(U,X) = crossdifference of every pair of points on the line bcf\)α + gcaβ + habγ = 0, so that F(U,X) is the trilinear pole of the line ghα + hfβ + fgγ = 0 .
X53603–X53613 — Reflection points on the circumcircle
Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses May, 2023. The appearance of {i,j,k} in the following list means that Xk = reflection of Xi in the line X3Xj:
{74,98,43654}, {74,99,43654}, {74,100,43655}, {74,104,43655}, {74,110,74}, {74,1113,477}, {74,1114,477}, {74,1379,842}, {74,1380,842}, {74,1381,2687}, {74,1382,2687},

X53621–X53708 — and X53682-X53708, Touchpoints on the circumcircle
contributed by Clark Kimberling (definitions and presentation) and Peter Moses (formulas, data, and properties), May 6, 2023. A point P, as a function of (a,b,c), is here defined to be an inner point if P lies inside the circumcircle, Γ, for every triangle ABC (that is, for every (a,b,c) satisfying b+c>a and c+a>b and a+b>c); and an outer point otherwise. If X is an outer triangle center (so that its Γ-invers is an inner triangle center), then X lies on two lines that are tangent to Γ, so that there are two touchpoints, which in some cases are triangle centers and in some cases are a bicentric pair. The appearance of Xi → (Xj,Xk in the following list means that Xi is an outer triangle center and Xj and Xk are the touchpoints
In the analogous context for the Steiner circumellipse, instead of the circumcircle, see the preamble just before X53639.
X52639–X52659 — Touchpoints on the Steiner circumellipse
contributed by Clark Kimberling (definitions and presentation) and Peter Moses (formulas, data, and properties), May 7, 2023. In the manner of the preamble just before X53621, a point P, as a function of (a,b,c), is defined in this section to be an inner point if P lies inside the Steiner circumellipse, SCE, for every triangle ABC (that is, for every (a,b,c) satisfying b+c>a and c+a>b and a+b>c); and an outer point otherwise. If X is an outer triangle center (so that its SCE-inverse is an inner triangle center), then X lies on two lines that are tangent to SCE, so that there are two touchpoints, which in some cases are triangle centers and in some cases are a bicentric pair. The appearance of Xi → (Xj,Xk in the following list means that Xi is an outer triangle center and Xj and Xk are the touchpoints
In the analogous context for the circumcircle, instead of the Steiner circumellipse, see the preamble just before X53621.
X53660–X53671 — Strictly inner points
contributed by Clark Kimberling (definitions and presentation) and Peter Moses (formulas, data, and properties), May 8, 2023. In the preamble just before X53621, a point P is defined to be an inner point if P lies inside the circumcircle for all triangles ABC. Here, a point P is defined to be a strictly inner point point if P lies inside ABC for every nondegenerate triangle ABC. That is, if b+c>a and c+a>b and a+b>c, then P has barycentrics (and trilinears) that are all positive for all such (a,b,c). Many well-known triangle centers have this property (e.g., X1, X2, X6, X9, X10, X37.) A point P is a strictly outer point point if P lies outside ABC for every nondegenerate triangle ABC.
X53709–X53763 — Midpoints of points on the circumcircle
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, May 10, 2023. The points all lie inside the circumcircle, Γ, so that, they are “inner points” as defined in the preamble just before X53621. Conjecture: none of these midpoints is “strictly inner”; i.e., inside triangle ABC for all A, B, C.
Suppose that P is a fixed point on Γ and that X is a variable point on Γ. The locus of the midpoint of P and X is a circle, Γ(P,X). Let O(P,X) be the center of Γ(P,X). For example, O(X74,X) passes through Xi for these i: 12041, 12042, 33813, 33814, 38599, 38600, 38601, 38602, 38607, 1511, 14650, 38608, 38609. If P is not fixed but goes around the circle, then the locus of the centers of the circles has center O and radius (1/2)*circumradius. This circle, with perspector X3431, passes through Xi for these i: 1511, 12041,12042, 14650, 33813, 33814, 35231, 35232, 38599, 38600, 38601, 38602, 38603, 38604, 38605, 38606, 38607, 38608, 38609, 38610, 38611, 38612, 38613, 38614, 38615, 38616, 38617, 38618, 38619, 38620, 38621, 38622, 38623, 38624, 38625, 49119

X54097–X54113 — Perspectors associated with Steiner-circumcevian triangles
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses June 29, 2023. Let SCE be Steiner circumellipse of a triangle ABC, and Let P =\(p : q : r\) be a point not on a sideline of ABC. Let A' be the point, other than A, where the line AP meets line BC. Define B' and C' cyclically. The triangle A'B'C' is here named the Steiner-circumcevian triangle of P, denoted by SCC(P). The vertices of SCC(P) are given by
A' = -q r : q (q + r) : r (q + r)B' = p (r + p) : - r p : r (r + p)C' = p (p + q) : q (p + q) : - p qThe triangle SCC(P) is perspective to the anticomplementary. Let SC(P) denote the perspector. Then
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that SC(Xi) = Xj.

The triangle SCC(X2) is the triangle Gemini 107, and the triangle SCC(4) is the 9th Brocard triangle.
Let Ta be the line tangent to SCC at A', and define Tb and Tc cyclically. Let A* = Tb ^ Tc and define B* and C* cyclically. Then A*B*C* is perspective to ABC, and the perspector is given by the point T(P) = 1 / (-q*r + r*p + p*q) : : . The transformation T maps curves to curves, as in these examples:

X54449–X55037 — and X55019-X55037, Cyclocevian conjugates
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 11, 2023. As noted in the Glossary, suppose that P =\(p : q : r\) (trilinear coordinates, not barycentric) is a point not on a sideline of ABC, and let A'B'C' be the cevian triangle of P. The circumcircle of A'B'C' meets line BC in two points: A' and A″; pairs B', B″, and C',C″ are obtained cyclically. The lines AA″, BB″, CC″ concur in the cyclocevian conjugate of P. Let
\(g(a,b,c) = a/[p(qb + r_{c})]\) and \(f(a,b,c) = bc/[g(b\),c,a) + g(c,a,b) - g(a,b,c)].
The cyclocevian conjugate of P is given by
\(f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\) (trilinears).
The cyclocevian conjugate of a point is theof the anticomplementof the isogonal conjugateof the complementof the isotomic conjugateof the point(Darij Grinberg, January 24, 2003)Now switching to bartycentric coordinates, suppose that p x + q y + r z = 0 is a line. It’s image under cyclocevian conjugationj is the octic curve given by [expression omitted here]
For example, the cyclocevian image of the Euler line passes through A, B, C, and the anticevian triangle of ABC, and through Xi for these i: 2, 4, 1032, 13580, 13581, 54449.
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the cyclocevian conjugate of Xi is Xj: (1,1029, (2,4), (5,54449), (6,1031), (7,7), (8,189), (13,13483), (14,13484), (20,1032), (63,54450), (66,2998), (67,46275), (68,34287), (69,253), (75,8044), (76,41513), [and others].
If “circumcircle” is replaced by “Steiner circumellipse” in the definition of cyclocevian conjugate, the result is here named the Steiner-cevian conjugate of X. The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the Steiner-cevian conjugate of of Xi is Xj:
(1,13610), (2,2), (4,43710), (6,14370), (7,43750), (8,7155), (69,43714), (75,18298), (148,31998), (192,3212), (194,3186), (513,9267), (514,42555), (523,9293), [and others]. If “circumcircle” is replaced by “Kiepert circumhyperbola” in the definition of cyclocevian conjugate, the result is here named the Kiepert-cevian conjugate of X. The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the Kiepert-cevian conjugate of of Xi is Xj: (1,13486), (2,99), (3,110), (4,35360), (6,13578), (13,36839), (14,36840), (30,476), (399,47053), (616,35314), (617,35315), (5667,4240}
X54460–X54467 — H-conics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, July 15, 2023. Let ABC be a right triangle at A. There exists a lot of finite centers in ETC lying on the hypotenuse BC (produced included), in particular, those having first coordinates with a multiplying factor cos(A) or (-a^2+b^2+c^2).
Let denote by ℋ the set of k such that Xk-of-ABC lies on the hypotenuse BC. As an example, the subset o ℋ for k≤1000 is {3, 48, 49, 63, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, 77, 78, 97, 122, 123, 125, 127, 130, 131, 155, 184, 185, [and others].
Application.
Let ABC be an acute triangle . Build the rectangle \(BCC_{a}\)Ba such that A lies on CaBa. Two right triangles BaBA and CaCA are obtained. Now, for a given k ∈ ℋ, let B'a = Xk-of-BaBA and C'a = Xk-of-CaCA, these centers lying on their hipotenuses AB and AC, respectively. Define C'b, A'b and A'c, B'c cyclically. It is not hard to prove that, for any k∈ℋ, these six points lie on an conic 𝒞( Xk ), here named the H-conic of Xk (H stands for hypotenuses).
Depending on the chosen k, 𝒞( Xk ) can degenerate to two lines or to the line at infinity (as with X3, X68 and others). Also, every pair of constructed points on a side of ABC can coincide and the H-conic approaches to a circle, as occurs with X69, for which the Taylor circle is obtained.
X54474–X55009 — Orthology centers related to bicevian conics
contributed by Ivan Pavlov, July 19, 2023. Let (c) be the bicevian conic of P={u,v,w} and Q={p,q,r}. Lines AP, BP, CP intersect (c) at six points, three of which form the cevian triangle of P. Denote the other three with A1, B1, and C1. Similarly, using Q, define A2, B2, and C2. The lines A1A2, B1B2, and C1C2 form a triangle TaTbTc, which is always perspective to ABC.
In the cases when a certain fourth degree relation holds, ABC and TaTbTc are also orthologic. In the particular case when Q=X2 and P lies on the Kiepert hyperbola, the orthology center of ABC and TaTbTc also lies on the Kiepert hyperbola.
In the particular case when Q=X4 and P lies on the circumconic with perspector X4, the configuration is degenerate becasue Ta=Tb=Tc=H. The orthology center (which exists only in the limit) is the isotomic conjugate of (SB u v+SC u w-a^2 v w : :) and lies on the Steiner circumellipse. When the orthology center of ABC and TaTbTc exists it lies on the Euler line.
For more information on how each center arises see the documents attached to Euclid 5932 .

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, August 5, 2023. Denote by q(P) the circumconic of ABC with perspector P with respect to ABC, and consider two circumconics q’ = q(P') and q” = q(P″). If P' and P″ lie both in the interior of ABC, these conics have four real intersections {A, B, C, D} (D being the tripole of the line P'P″) and four common tangents. Assume P' =\(U' : V' : W'\) and P″ = U″ : V″ : W″ (trilinears, for simpler expressions). The following results were found algebraically: [lists omitted here].

X55917–X56365 — Kimberling-Pavlov conjugates
contributed by Ivan Pavlov, August 14, 2023. Let P1={a1,a2,a3} and P2={b1, b2, b3) be arbitrary points and let (cc) be the circumconic with perspector X={u,v,w}. Let A1, B1, C1 and A2, B2, C2 be the traces on (cc) of P1 and P2, respectively.
The lines A1A2, B1B2, C1C2 form a triangle perspective to ABC. The perspector has the following barycentrics:
u/(u^2/(a1*b1)-(v/a2+w/a3)*(v/b2+w/b3)) : v/(v^2/(a2*b2)-(u/a1+w/a3)*(u/b1+w/b3)) : w/(w^2/(a3*b3)-(u/a1+v/a2)*(u/b1+v/b2))
This point is here introduced as the Kimberling-Pavlov X-conjugate of P1 and P2. It is obviously symmetric and involutory (i.e., it is a conjugation). In his article “Mappings Associated with Vertex Triangles” (:cite:`Forum Geometricorum <forum-geometricorum>`, 9 (2009) 27-39), Clark Kimberling discusses this mapping for the case X=X6, and he denotes the mapping by M1. He also proposes variations denoted by M2, M3, and M4.
Here, these mappings are generalized for any point X, and the equivalent of formula (6) on p.34 of the cited article gives the following barycentrics:
(KP2(X) of P1 and P2) = u/(u^2/(a1*b1)-(v/a2-w/a3)*(v/b2-w/b3)) : v/(v^2/(a2*b2)-(u/a1-w/a3)*(u/b1-w/b3)) : w/(w^2/(a3*b3)-(u/a1-v/a2)*(u/b1-v/b2))(KP3(X) of P1 and P2) = u/(u^2/(a1*b1)+(v/a2+w/a3)*(v/b2+w/b3)) : v/(v^2/(a2*b2)+(u/a1+w/a3)*(u/b1+w/b3)) : w/(w^2/(a3*b3)+(u/a1+v/a2)*(u/b1+v/b2))(KP4(X) of P1 and P2) = u/(u^2/(a1*b1)+(v/a2-w/a3)*(v/b2-w/b3)) : v/(v^2/(a2*b2)+(u/a1-w/a3)*(u/b1-w/b3)) : w/(w^2/(a3*b3)+(u/a1-v/a2)*(u/b1-v/b2))Stated below are a few properties of these points:
Then the Kimberling-Pavlov I-conjugate of P and Q is the intersection, other than A, B, C, of the conics {{A, B, C,P,Q'}} and {{A, B, C,P',Q}}.
Theorem 2.In the limiting case, where P=Q, the Kimberling-Pavlov I-conjugate of P and P is the cross-conjugate of I and the the isogonal conjugate of P(P).Generally, the Kimberling-Pavlov X-conjugate of P and P is the cross conjugate of the X^2-reciprocal conjugate of P and P, where “ ^ “ denotes barycentric square.Theorem 3.Theorem 4.Let 𝓒 be a circumconic through I. If P lies on 𝓒, then the Kimberling-Pavlov I-conjugate of I and P also lies on 𝓒.Theorem 5.The Kimberling-Pavlov G-conjugate of P and Q is the isotomic conjugate of the midpoint of the barycentric quotients P/G and Q/G.

X59294–X59359 — Harmonic means
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, September 30, 2023. The harmonic mean x of two numbers p, q is that satisfying \(x^{-1}\) = (\(p^{-1}\) + \(q^{-1})\)/2. Similarly, in geometry, given three collinear points O, P, Q, their harmonic mean is the point X, on its same line, and such that OX is the harmonic mean of OP and OQ (signed distances all).
If O, P, Q are given and X is their harmonic mean, then X is the point for which (O, X) and (P, Q) are in harmonic range. X is denoted here as the O-harmonic mean of (P, Q).
A very simple geometrical construction of X = O-harmonic mean of (P, Q) follows, when O, P, Q are given: .LI li{padding-bottom:12px;} Take any point E outside the line OPQ and join OE and QE. Through P, draw a parallel line to QE, cutting OE at F. Let F* be the reflection of F in P. The line EF* cuts the line OPQ in X, the O-harmonic mean of (P, Q).
Algebraically, if λ = OQ/OP, then OX = (2*λ/(1+λ))*OP.
X59437–X59458 — Inconics through two given points
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 5, 2023. In Eagles, Thomas Henry, Constructive Geometry of Plane Curves, McMillan and Co., London, 1885, available in www.archive.org, there are expained and proved methods for constructing conics touching three distinct, not concurrent given lines and passing through two given points (problem 83, pp.134 and problem 112, pp. 182).
Let ABC be the triangle bounded by the three given tangents and P, Q the given points. Both P and Q must be in the same side with respect to every tangent. This means that P and Q must be both interior to ABC (problem 83) or both exterior to it (problem 112).
The construction by Eagles follows (using century XXI cyclic notation): .LI li{padding-bottom:12px;} Let A', B', C' be the intersections of line PQ and BC, CA, AB, respectively. Let B1, B2 be the double points of the involution {A', B'} and {P, Q} (see preamble just before X14782). Eagles call these double points the foci of the involution and he proves that these points lie on the chord joining the touchpoints of the inconic with BC and AC. Analogously, let C1, C2 be the double points of the involution {A', C'} and {P, Q}. These points lie on the chord joining the touchpoints of the inconic with BC and AB. Take any point obtained in 2), for example Bi=B1, and any point obtained in 3), for example Cj=C1, and let Ha be the A'-harmonic mean of (Bi, Cj). (See preamble just before X59294) The line AHa cuts BC at A*, which is the touchpoint of the desired inconic with the line BC. Then, from 2) and 3), the other touchpoints of the inconic are B* = A*Bi∩AC and C* = A*Cj∩AB. Now we have either five points on the conic or can get the perspector of the inconic; then the conic is unambigously determined. Repeat 4) and 5) with the other possible combinations of Bi and Cj and, finally, four conics are found, all touching the given lines and passing through the given points.
Some remarks are needed here: The above construction was made by starting from A'. If we start from B' or C', the same set of inconics is obtained in each case. If P, Q are both interior to ABC then the four inconics are ellipses, but if they are both exterior to ABC then the resulting inconics can be of mixed types, i.e., some of them can be ellipses and some of them can be hyperbolas. Eagles does not mention this plurality in problem 112. When P, Q are triangle centers or when they are a bicentric pair, it can be conjectured that just one out of the four inconics is a central inconic, which means that its perspector and center are both triangle centers. Also, it can be conjectured that the two triads of perspectors and centers of the remaining non-central inconics are, respectively, vertices of two central triangles. It is necessary to examine which combination of Bi and Cj leads to the central inconic, because the required combination depends on the relative positions of P and Q.
The appearance of (i, j, m, n) in the following list means that the central inellipse through Xi and Xj has perspector X(m) and center Xn: (1, 2, 59437, 59438), (1, 6, 59439, 59440), (1, 7, 59441, 59442), (1, 8, 59443, 59444), (1, 31, 765, 24036), (1, 32, 59445, 59446), (2, 3, 59447, 59448)*, (2, 6, 1016, 4422), (2, 7, 59449, 59450), (2, 8, 55339, 59451), (2, 31, 59452, 59453), (2, 32, 4590, 620), (3, 4, 55346, 15252)*, (7, 8, 4998, 3035), (7, 55, 59457, 59458), (7, 56, 4998, 3035), (8, 55, 4076, 3039), (8, 56, 4998, 3035), (31, 32, 59455, 59456), (55, 56, 59, 13006)The inellipse through the Brocard points (PU(1)) has perspector X52205 and center X59454. The inellipse through their isotomic conjugates, PU(11), has perspector X40098 and center X26582.

X59459–X59483 — Lateral-inconics and related triangles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 8, 2023. Continuing from the preamble just before X59437, consider the three non-central inconics of ABC passing through two given centers U, X.
Ordered properly, these inconics seem to be related each to one vertex of ABC. In this section, the A-, B-, C- inconics through U, X wil be referred as the lateral-inconics of (U,X). Let Tp be the triangle with vertices in the perspectors of the lateral inconics of (U, X) and Tc the triangle with vertices on their centers.
For all centers considered in this section, it resulted that Tp is perspective to ABC, and Tc is perspective to the medial triangle of ABC.
The appearance of (i, j, m, n) in the following list means that, if Xi, Xj are the given centers on the inconics, then the perspector (Tp, ABC) is X(m) and the perspector (Tc, medial-of-ABC) is Xn: (1, 2, 59459, 59460), (1, 6, 59461, 59462), (1, 7, 59463, 59464), (1, 8, 59465, 59466), (1, 55, 59467, 59468), (1, 56, 59469, 59470), (2, 6, 1509, 17045), (2, 7, 59471, 59472), (2, 8, 59473, 59474), (7, 8, 6063, 2886), (7, 55, 59475, 59476), (7, 56, 552, 59477), (8, 55, 261, 4999), (8, 56, 59478, 59479), (55, 56, 7, 1), (3, 4, 59482, 59483)*(*): Only for ABC acute. For Brocard points PU(1), perspectors (Tp, ABC), (Tc, medial-of-ABC) are X59480, X59481, respectively. For isotomic conjugates of Brocard points, PU(11), perspectors (Tp, ABC), (Tc, medial-of-ABC) are X40099, X26558, respectively.A list of coordinates of A-vertices for each Tp, Tc treated in this section can be seen here (

X60353–X60475 — Common point of radical axes
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 5, 2023. Let ω be a circle and P, Q two distinct fixed points, none on ω. Then the radical axes of ω and all the circles through :g:`P <P>` and :g:`Q <Q>` have a common point X(ω, P, Q).
The pencil or set of circles through P, Q is denoted here OO(P, Q).
Some properties: .LI li{padding-bottom:12px;} The common point X(ω, P, Q) lies on the line PQ. Therefore, it is the intersection of this line with the radical axis of ω and any chosen circle in O(P, Q). A very simple proof of this fact can be seen here (
X60353.pdf). X(ω, P, Q) is the radical center of ω and any pair of circles in O(P,Q). When P, Q and the center of ω are not collinear, X(ω, P, Q) = PQ∩P'Q', where P' and Q' are the respective inverses of P, Q in ω. If P or Q is the center of ω then X(ω, P, Q) is the inverse of the other in ω. If ω is the circumcircle of ABC then X(ω, P, Q) concides with the Vu (P,Q)-circle point (see preamble just before X38458). If ω is the circumcircle of ABC and P or Q is the centroid X2 of ABC, then X(ω, P, Q) coincides with the Vu pole of P and Q (see preamble just before X37756).

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 10, 2023. Let ABC be a triangle with circumcircle ω. Let P', P″ be two interior points to ABC and A'B'C', A″B″C″ their respective cevian triangles. Denote \(a_{t}\) the circle through A' and A″ tangent to ω at At, with At lying on the arc BC of ω not containing A. Define \(b_{t}\), Bt, \(c_{t}\), Ct cyclically. Then the lines AAt, BBt, CCt concur at a point Q(P', P″). (Dao Thanh Oai, November 6, 2023).
The point Q(P', P″) is named here the Dao-Lozada circum-bicevian-perspector of P’ and P”.
If P' =\(x' : y' : z'\) and P″ = x” : y” : z” (barycentrics), then At = -a^2/(c*Y + b*Z) : b/Z : c/Y and Q(P', P″) = a*X : b*Y : c*Z where X = \(\sqrt{x'*x"}\), Y = \(\sqrt{y'*y"}\), Z = \(\sqrt{z'*z"}\).
In general, the above concurrence does not occur for the second circles through the traces of P', P″, tangent to ω and touching it at points on its positive arcs.
The appearance of (i, j, k) in the following list means that Q(Xi, Xj) = Xk: (1, 2, 365), (1, 6, 18753), (1, 7, 266), (1, 8, 259), (1, 9, 60530), (1, 10, 60531), (1, 11, 60532), (1, 12, 60533), (2, 6, 6), (2, 7, 509), [and others].
X60552–X60564 — Circumtangential-bicevian-perspectors
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 10, 2023. Continuing with the construction and notations in the previous section (see preamble just before X60530), let A*B*C* be the triangle bounded by the tangent lines to ω at At, Bt, Ct. Then A*B*C* is perspective to ABC with perspector Q*(P', P″).
This new perspector is referred here as the circumtangential-bicevian-perspector of P’ and P”. Corresponding barycentrics coordinates are: A* = -a*(2*b*c*X^2 + a*(a*Y*Z + b*Z*X + c*X*Y)) : b^2*(a*Y*Z + b*Z*X - c*X*Y) : c^2*(a*Y*Z - b*Z*X + c*X*Y) and Q*(P', P″) = a^2/(-a*Y*Z + b*Z*X + c*X*Y) : b^2/(a*Y*Z - b*Z*X + c*X*Y) : c^2/(a*Y*Z + b*Z*X - c*X*Y)
The circumtangential-bicevian-perspector of P' and P″ results to be the U-vertex conjugate of-U, where U is the Dao-Lozada-circum-bicevian perspector of P' and P″ explained in the previous section.

contributed by Peter Moses, November 14, 2023, based on notes about “hyperbola (P)” in Bernard Gibert’s webpage, K001, the Neuberg cubic. Gibert’s notes include the following: (P) is a very remarkable hyperbola passing through X476 and the vertices of the circumtangential triangle TaTbTc. It has two asymptotes making an angle of 60 degrees, so that its eccentricity is 2. X110 is one of its foci and the related directrix is the Euler line. The tangent at X476 is the real asymptote of the Neuberg cubic. The hyperbola (P) is here named the Neuberg-Gibert hyperbola. Associated triangle centers include the following:
X60614–X60737 — Bicevian Chordal Triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on November 18, 2023. Let (c) be the bicevian conic of P=\(u:v:w\) and Q=\(p:q:r\) in barycentrics. Denote by Ap, Aq the intersection points of AP, AQ and (c), and similarly define Bp, Bq, Cp, and Cq. The lines ApAq, BpBq, and CpCq form a triangle A'B'C' which we call the bicevian chordal triangle of P and Q (wrt ABC).A'B'C' and ABC are perspective with center which lies on the circumconic through P and Q. We call this center the bicevian chordal perspector of P and Q (wrt ABC).A first barycentric coordinate is p*u*(r^2*u*v+2*r*(q*u+p*v)*w+p*q*w^2)*(p*r*v^2+q^2*u*w+2*q*v*(r*u+p*w))For details, see Euclid 6040.

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, November 25, 2023. Given two non-concentric circles 𝒞1 and 𝒞2 and a point P, neither on any of the given circles nor on their radical axis, there exists an unique circle through P and coaxial with the given circles. (A simple proof and a method for determining this circle can be seen here (

X60788–X60843 — Chordal perspectors of bicevian conics and pedal circles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, December 3, 2023. Let ABC be a triangle, P', P″ two distinc points, none on their sidelines, and A'B'C', A″B″C″ their respective cevian triangles with respect to ABC. Call 𝒞 the bicevian conic of P' and P″.
Let P be a point on the line P'P″ and denote A1, B1, C1 the second intersections of 𝒞 and the lines PA', PB', PC', respectively. Similarly, denote A2, B2, C2 the second intersections of 𝒞 and the lines PA″, PB″, PC″, respectively. Then the lines AA1, BB1, CC1 concur in a point Q1 and the lines AA2, BB2, CC2 concur in a point Q2.
The point Q1 is denoted here the (P’, P”)-bicevian conic chordal perspector of-P whilst the point Q2 is denoted as the (P”, P’)-bicevian conic chordal perspector of-P.
⬥ Pedal triangles version
Let ABC be a triangle, P' a point not on their sidelines, P″ the isogonal conjugate of P' and A'B'C', A″B″C″ their respective pedal triangles with respect to ABC. Call 𝒞 the circle through A', B', C', A″, B″, C″.
Let P be a point on the line P'P″ and denote A1, B1, C1 the second intersections of 𝒞 and the lines PA', PB', PC', respectively. Similarly, denote A2, B2, C2 the second intersections of 𝒞 and the lines PA″, PB″, PC″, respectively. Then the lines AA1, BB1, CC1 concur in a point Q1 and the lines AA2, BB2, CC2 concur in a point Q2.
In this case, the point Q1 is denoted here the P’-pedal circle chordal perspector of-P and, naturally, the point Q2 is denoted as the P”-pedal circle chordal perspector of-P. In this notation, the term “pedal circle” may be replaced with the name of the circle, if it has a given name. Therefore, the (X2, X4)-bicevian conic chordal perspector of-P coincides with the X3-nine-point circle chordal perspector of-P and the (X4, X2)-bicevian conic chordal perspector of-P coincides with the X4-nine-point circle chordal perspector of-P.

contributed by Ivan Pavlov on Dec 11, 2023. In a scalene acute triangle ABC, let MaMbMc be its medial triangle. Let ωa be the circle centered at Ma and passing through B and C, and define ωb and ωc cyclically. Inside ABC, let Oa be center of the circle, closest to A, which is externally tangent to ωa and is inscribed in angle BAC. Define Ob and Oc cyclically. The triangle OaObOc is called the (1st) Aguilera triangle of ABC and has the following barycentrics of the A-vertex, derived by Manuel Aguilera: a*(-a + b + c)*(a + b + c) + 2*(b + c)*S : b*((-a + b + c)*(a + b + c) - 2*S) : c*((-a + b + c)*(a + b + c) - 2*S)If a point P lies on line X1X3, the pedal triangle of P is orthologic to the Aguilera triangle and the orthology center lies on line X2X7.The triangle inverse-in-incircle of the Aguilera triangle is called here the (1st) Aguilera-Pavlov triangle.Its A-vertex has the following barycentrics: S (b + c) + 2 a b c : b (-S + 2 b c ) : c (-S + 2 b c )The centroid of the Aguilera-Pavlov triangle coincides with the incenter of ABC.
X61103–X61138 — Orthoptic or director circles
:contributed by César Eliud Lozada, January 11, 2024. Let 𝒞 be a conic and let ℒ be the locus of points from which the tangent lines to 𝒞 are perpendicular. ℒ is, in general, a circle centered at the center of 𝒞 and named the orthoptic or director circle of 𝒞.
If 𝒞 is a parabola then ℒ degenerates to the directrix of 𝒞, and, if 𝒞 is a rectangular hyperbola, ℒ degenerates to the center of 𝒞.
When 𝒞 is an ellipse with semiaxes 𝒶 and 𝒷 then its orthoptic circle has squared-radius ρ2 = 𝒶2 + 𝒷2. This means that, if 𝒞 is a circle with radius 𝓇, then its orthoptic circle has squared-radius ρ2 = 2*𝓇2.
Finally, if 𝒞 is an hyperbola with semiaxes 𝒶 (focal) and 𝒷 then its orthoptic circle has squared-radius ρ2 = 𝒶2 - 𝒷2. Therefore, the orthoptic circle exists only when 𝒶 ≥ 𝒷.
In S.L. Loney, The Elements of Coordinate Geometry, 1962, pp 365, #390, a general expression is deduced for calculating the equation of the director or orthoptic circle of a conic (in cartesian coordinates). Such expression, when applied to the conic given in barycentric as 𝒞 = Σ(FA*x^2 + 2*GA*y*z) = 0, leads to the following equation for the squared-radius of the orthoptic circle:
ρ^2 = (∑(FA*GA^2)-FA*FB*FC-2*GA*GB*GC)*∑((FB+FC-2*GA)*SA)/∑(FB*FC-2*FA*GA-GA^2+2*GB*GC)^2 (all sums are cyclic)

Definition 1. The centroid of S is the point o(1) + o(2) + … + o(n), this being a combo as defined in the Introduction (in Part 1 of ETC).
Definition 2. The centroid of circumferences of S is the point r(1)*o(1) + r(2)*o(2) + … + r(n)*o(n).
Definition 3. The centroid of curvatures of S is the point o(1)/r(1) + o(2)/r(2) + … + o(n)/r(n).
Definition 4. The centroid of areas of S is the point o(1)*r(1)^2 + o(2)*r(2)^2 + … + o(n)*r(n)^2.
. Definition 5. The centroid of reciprocal areas of S is the point o(1)/r(1)^2 + o(2)/r(2)^2 + … + o(n)/r(n)^2.
All five centroids are given by the form o(1)*r(1)^n + o(2)*r(2)^n) + … + + o(n)*r(n)^n, where n is one of the numbers -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. In the following examples, the centroids are indexed by n, from -2, to 2, with these designations: G(-2), G(-1), G(0), G(1), G(2).

X61152–X61297 — and X61244-X61297, Miyamoto Perspectors
submitted by Clark Kimberling, January 20, 2024, based on notes from Keita Miyamoto . Barycentrics for Miyamoto perspectors were found by Peter Moses. Let A'B'C' be a triangle homothetic to ABC at X2 with ratio k. Let Ab=AB∩B'C', and define Bc and Ca cyclically. Let Ac=CA∩B'C', and define Ba and Cb cyclically. Let (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic) be the incircles of ABC, A'BcCb, B'CaAc, C'AbBa, respectively. Then there exists a circle (O(k)) tangent to all four circles, (I), (Ia), (Ib), (Ic). The touchpoint of (I) and (O(k)) is the Feuerbach point, X11. Further, let Ta be the touchpoint of (Ia) and (O(k)), and define Tb and Tc cyclically. The lines ATa, BTb, CTc concur in a point here named the Miyamoto (k)-perspector.
Likewise, if A'B'C' is homothetic to an arbitrary triangle T = A″B″C″, X2 with ratio k, then the above construction yields a point here named named the (T,k)-Miyamoto perspector. Fifty-four (Euler triangle, k)-Miyamoto perspectors, found by Peter Moses, are indexed at X61244-X61297.
The points X61152-X(61159 lie on the line X2X11, and X21244-X61297 lie on X1X5.

X61301–X61418 — Vertex Square Sum and Product
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on Jan 31, 2024. Given a reference triangle ABC, for any central triangle XYZ the barycentric sum X^2+Y^2+Z^2 is a triangle center. We call this expression the vertex square sum of XYZ. A curious example is that the vertex square sum of the anticevian triangle of a point P is P^2. Some other examples: The vertex square sum of the intouch triangle is X23653. The vertex square sum of the tangential triangle is X32. The vertex square sum of the 1st Brocard triangle is X2. The vertex square sum of the Moses-Soddy triangle is X1086. The vertex square sum of the Soddy triangle is X279. The vertex square sum of the Pelletier triangle is X14936. The vertex square sum of the Schroeter triangle is X115. We call the barycentric product X*Y*Z the vertex product of XYZ. Note that the vertex product of the anticevian triangle of a point P is P^3.
X61747–X61761 — Reflected-parallels circles
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, February 27, 2024. The following problem by C. Pohoata is published in AOPS: Three parallel lines \(p_{a}\), \(p_{b}\), \(p_{c}\) pass through the vertices of a triangle ABC. Their reflections in BC, CA, AB, respectively, form a triangle A'B'C'. Find the locus of the incenters of such triangles.
When ABC is acute, the required locus is a circle centered at the circumcenter X3-of-ABC and having radius ρ = 2*R. But, as a matter of fact, similar constructions with centers Xn, for 1 ≤ n ≤ 1000, result each in a circle as locus (conjectured and not formally proven yet, but numerically tested). The appearance of (i, j) in the following list means that the locus of centers Xi-of-A'B'C' is a circle with center Xj wrt ABC: (1, 3), (2, 61747), (3, 156), (4, 9927), (5, 13406), (6, 61748), (7, 34507), (8, 22802), (9, 34117), (10, 61749), (11, 5), (12, 61750), (20, 61751), (21, 10274), (35, 1614), (36, 110), (40, 32139), (46, 11441), (55, 61752), (56, 61753), (57, 15068), (65, 5876), (79, 2888), (80, 4), (84, 58726), (90, 2904), (100, 6759), (101, 61754), (104, 1147), (105, 61755), (108, 61756), (109, 61757), (110, 61758), (113, 61759), (117, 61760), (118, 61761), (119, 15761), (149, 18381), (177, 5694), (191, 17824), (214, 10282), (238, 1576), (354, 15067), (355, 44279), (496, 49673), (551, 10182), (942, 11591), (946, 5449), (954, 19127), (960, 41589)
The locus of Xi-of-A'B'C' is denoted here as the reflected-parallels circle of Xi. It must be taken in account that the given results are valid as long as ABC is acute.

contributed by César Eliud Lozada, March 16, 2024. The following two assertions, slightly modified, are proposed by Tran Viet Hung in Romantics of geometry, March 15, 2023:
Let ABC be a triangle, P', P″ two distinct points and A'B'C', A″B″C″ their respective circumcevian triangles, such that A', A″ are in the same side with respect to the line BC, and similarly B', B″ and C', C″. Let (a*) be the circle through A' and A″ tangent to sideline BC, with center closer to the line BC. Let At be the touchpoint of (a*) and BC, and define Bt, Ct cyclically. Then the lines AAt, BBt, CCt are concurrent in a point Q1(P', P″).
The point of concurrence Q1(P', P″) is named here the Tran-Lozada bi-circumcevian perspector of P and P’. If P' =\(x' : y' : z'\) and P″ = x” : y” : z” (barycentrics), then Q1(P', P″) = \(\sqrt{x' x"}\)/a : \(\sqrt{y' y"}\)/b : \(\sqrt{z' z"}\)/c. From here, it is clear than P', P″ must be both interior to ABC in order Q1(P', P″) to be real. The barycentric coordinates of the center A* of (a*) are:A* = a^2*(2*\(\sqrt{y'*y"*z'*z"}\)*SA-(y’*z”+y”*z’)*b*c) : (2*S^2*c^2*y’*y”+((y’*z”+y”*z’)*c*SC+2*\(\sqrt{y'*y"*z'*z"}\)*b*SB)*b^3)/b^2 : (2*S^2*b^2*z’*z”+((y’*z”+y”*z’)*b*SB+2*\(\sqrt{y'*y"*z'*z"}\)*c*SC)*c^3)/c^2The appearance of (i, j, k) in the folowing list means that Q1(Xi, Xj) = Xk:

Let (A″) be the circle externally tangent to (B'), (C'), and externally tangent to (O) (or internally tangent to (O), but with center A″ in the side of B'C' not containing A'), touching (O) at A2, and define (B″), (C″), B2, C2 cyclically. Then, whenever the seven circles can be built, the lines A1A2, B1B2, C1C2 concur. (See figure here (

X62489–X62510 — Infinity bisectors
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, April 5, 2024. Let O denote the circumcenter, (O) the circumcircle, and L the line at infinity. Suppose that P =\(p:q:r\) and U =\(u:v:w\) are points on (O) and that P, O, U are noncollinear. Let L1 be the tangent to (O) at P and L2 the tangent to (O) at U. Let D = L1∩L2 and M = OD∩L. As the line OM bisects the angle between L1 and L2, the point M is here named the (P,U)-infinity bisector. Barycentrics for the (P,U)-infinity bisector are given by
(\(a^{2}\) - \(b^{2}\) + \(c^{2})\)(q u - p v) - (\(a^{2}\) + \(b^{2}\) - \(c^{2})\)(r u - p w) - \(2a^{2}(r v - q w)\) : :

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, April 2024.
A unary operation on homogeneous coordinates \(x : y : z\) (barycentric or trilinear) is a mapping that takes the point \(x:y:z\) to the point f(\(x:y:z\)} : f(y,z,x) : f(z,x,y) for some homoeneous function f. Introduced here are several examples:
u1(\(x:y:z\)) = (y-z)/x : (z-x)/y : (x-y)/zu2(\(x:y:z\)) = x/(y-z) : y/(z-x) : z/(x-y)u3(\(x:y:z\)) = (-2x+y+z)/x : (-2y+z+x)/y : (-2z+x+y)/zu4(\(x:y:z\)) = x/(-2x+y+z) : y/(-2y+z+x) : z/(-2z+x+y)u5(\(x:y:z\)) = (y-z)/(y+z) : (z-x)/(z+x) : (x-y)/(x+y)u6(\(x:y:z\)) = (y+z)/(y-z) : (z+x)/(z-x) : (x+y)/(x-y)u7(\(x:y:z\)) = (-2x+y+z)/(y+z) : (-2y+z+x)/(z+x) : (-2z+x+y)/(x+y)u8(\(x:y:z\)) = (y+z)/(-2x+y+z) : (z+x)/(-2y+z+x) : (x+y)/(-2z+x+y)u9(\(x:y:z\)) = (yz-zx-xy)/(y^2-z^2) : (zx-xy-yz)/(z^2-x^2) : (xy-yz-zx)/(x^2-y^2)u10(\(x:y:z\)) = (y^2-z^2)/(yz-zx-xy) : (z^2-x^2)/(zx-xy-yz) : (x^2-y^2)/(xy-yz-zx)u11(\(x:y:z\)) = (yz-zx-xy)/(y^2+z^2) : (zx-xy-yz)/(z^2+x^2) : (xy-yz-zx)/(x^2+y^2)u12(\(x:y:z\)) = (y^2+z^2)/(yz-zx-xy) : (z^2+x^2)/(zx-xy-yz) : (x^2y^2)/(xy-yz-zx)In that list above, the 12 unary operations are indexed so that for n = 1,2,3,4,5,6, \(u_{2n}(X)\) is the isotomic conjugate of \(u_{2n-1}(X)\) when the coordinates are barycentric, and the isogonal conjugate when the coordinates are trilinear. In addition to the notations “un(\(x:y:z\))” and “\(u_{n}(X)\)” the notation “unary(n) of X″ will be useful. In the naming of triangle centers “unary(n) of X″ is used when the underlying coordinates are barycentric, and “trilinear unary(n) of X″ when the coordinates of trilinear. For examples of such points, see X(63202-X63205 and X62734-X62750.
In the next table, column 1 represents the triangle centers X1, X3, X4, …, X11. The appearance of k in (row r, column n) means that \(u_{r}\)(Xn) = Xk. In this table, it is assumed that the coordinates used to define the unary operations are barycentric coordinates. [Table omitted here.)

X62770–X63195 — Perspectors related to PTC triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on April 26, 2024. For a triangle ABC, and arbitrary points P, Q, and R not on its sides, let A' be the intersection of AP and the perpendicular through Q to BC and similarly define B' and C'. Let A″ be the intersection of RA' and BC and similarly define B″ and C″. Below, we denote with PTC(P,Q,R) the triangle A″B″C″. If P, Q, and R are triangle centers then PTC(P,Q,R) is a central triangle.
If in barycentrics P=\(u:v:w\), Q=\(p:q:r\), and R=\(l:m:n\) then the A-vertex of PTC(P,Q,R) is
0 : (b^2 - c^2) (-l (q + r) v + m p (v + w)) - a^2 ((l (-q + r) + m (p + 2 r)) v - m (p + 2 q) w) : (b^2 - c^2) (-l (q + r) w + n p (v + w)) - a^2 (n (p + 2 r) v + (-n (p + 2 q) + l (-q + r)) w)

X63478–X63528 — Bicevian centroidal collineation images
, contributed by Ivan Pavlov on May 21, 2024. We will call {P,Q}-bicevian centroidal collineation the collineation which takes the cevian triangle of P = (\(u:v:w\)) into the cevian triangle of Q=(\(p:q:r\)) and has a fixed point in the centroid G of the reference triangle.
The general formula for the image of X=(\(x:y:z\)) in barycentrics is
𝓒𝓛(X,P,Q; G) = ( p (u (v + w) - v w) (v w (p u (q - r) (v - w) - q r v w) x + u (w y - v z) (p v w (q - r) - q r u (v - w))) : : )
This transformation has the obvious inverse: 𝓒𝓛(X,P,Q; G)-1 = 𝓒𝓛(X,Q,P; G).Some existing triangle centers are presented in the table below: [Table omitted here].
X63640–X63655 — Hatzipolakis-Euler images
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, May 28, 2024. Let ABC be a triangle, P a point and Q a point on its Euler line. Let Qa, Qb, Qc the same to Q points on the Euler lines of the triangles PBC, PCA, PAB, respectively. Let \(p_{a}\), \(p_{b}\), \(p_{c}\) be parallel lines to PA, PB, PC through Qa, Qb, Qc, respectively. What is the locus of P such that \(p_{a}\), \(p_{b}\), \(p_{c}\) concur?. (Antreas Hatzipolakis, euclid 6199.)
If Q is such that OΔQΔ/OΔHΔ = t = constant number, for a triangle Δ, then the lines \(p_{a}\), \(p_{b}\), \(p_{c}\) concur for every P. (César Lozada, euclid 6200.)
The point of intersection of the given three lines is named here the Q-Hatzipolakis-Euler image of P.
Note that the Dao image of P, defined in the preamble just before X15345, is the X3-Hatzipolakis-Euler image of P. In general, if PD is the Dao image of P, G is the centroid X2 of ABC, and Z is the Q-Hatzipolakis-Euler of P, then GZ=(1-3*t)*GPD. From this, it is clear that, for t=1/3, i.e., for Q=X2, the X2-Hatzipolakis-Euler image of P is X2, for every P.
Another interesting property of this image is that (Q-Hatzipolakis-Euler image of X13) = (Q-Hatzipolakis-Euler image of X14) = X2, for every Q.
Some Q-Hatzipolakis-Euler images of P are showed in the following table: [table omitted here].

X63787–X63794 — Dao-Zeeman perspectors
:contributed by César Eliud Lozada, June 9, 2024. Let ABC be a triangle, U a point on its plane, 𝓁 the tripolar of U with respect to ABC and P, Q any two distinct points on 𝓁.Let A', B', C' be the intersections of 𝓁 with BC, CA, AB, respectively.Denote by AP the intersection of the parallel line to CP through B' and the parallel line to BP through C', and define BP, CP cyclically.Denote by AQ the intersection of the parallel line to CQ through B' and the parallel line to BQ through C', and define BQ, CQ cyclically.Then the triangle A″B″C″ bounded by the lines APAQ, BPBQ, CPCQ is congruent and homothetic with ABC and the homothetic center H(P, Q) lies on the line 𝓁.When PQ is the Euler line this result is Gossard perspector theorem.(See here) When PQ parallel to the Euler line, this result due to Zeeman generalization. (See here) When P is the centroid this result is the Yiu’s generalization. Dao Thanh Oai - June 8, 2024.Notes added by César Eliud Lozada:
The points A″, B″, C″, H(P, Q) are independent of P and Q and depend only on U or, still better, on 𝓁. Therefore, H(P, Q) can be more simply expressed as H(U) or H(𝓁), this last form preferred here. H(𝓁) is referred here as the Dao-Zeeman perspector of the line 𝓁.
If U =\(x:y:z\) (barycentrics) then \(H(U) = x (y-z) \cdot (x-y-z)\): :. It can be deduced that, algebraically, Q(U) = Complement(IsotomicConjugate(Cevapoint(U, IdealPointOfTripolar(U)))).

After recovery, they were published here on January 25, 2025.] Given a triangle ABC and two points P and Q not on its sides, let the line through Q parallel to AP intersect lines AB and AC at points Ab and Ac. Similarly define Ba, Bc, Ca, Cb. The lines BaCa, AbCb, AcBc form a triangle called here the P-crosspedal triangle of Q. We remind the reader of two other definitions used for these centers:
Through Q construct a line parallel to AP and let A' be the intersection point with BC. Similarly define B' and C'; A'B'C' is called P-pedal triangle of Q.
The P-antipedal triangle of Q is the triangle A'B'C' such that ABC is P-pedal of Q wrt A'B'C'.

X64426–X64437 — Composites
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 3, 2024. Suppose that P =\(p(a,b,c) : p(b,c,a) : p(c,a,b)\) and U =\(u(a,b,c) : u(b,c,a) : u(c,a,b)\) are triangle centers, where p(a,b,c) and u(a,b,c) are polynomials in standard form (i.e., p(a,b,c) and p(b,c,a) are relatively prime, and the coefficient of the highest power of a is positive, or if p(a,b,c) is invariant of a then the coefficient of highest power of b is positive.)
Define the composite P-of-U to be the triangle center given by
P-of-U = p(u(a,b,c), u(b,c,a), u(c,a,b)) : p(u(b,c,a), u(c,a,b), u(a,b,c)) : p(u(c,a,b), u(a,b,c), u(b,c,a)).
For example, X3-of-X3 = X1147 = a^4(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)(a^4 + b^4 + c^4 - 2 a^2 b^2 - 2 a^2 c^2) : :
Suppose next that the Euler line is represented as a linear combination of X3 and X4 as follows:
V(r,s) = a^2 (a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*r + (b^2 - c^2 - a^2)(c^2 - a^2 - b^2)*s : : ,
where r and s are not both 0. Let P = X10 = b + c : c + a : a + b.
Then “X10-of-Euler-line” is the line given by
X10-of-V(r,s), which as the linear combination
(a^2 (b^2 + c^2) + (b^2 - c^2)^2)*r - 2 a^2(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*s : :
is essentially X5*r + X3*s, the Euler line.
Reversing the order of the composition gives “the Euler line of X10”, consisting of points
W(r,s) = (b + c)^2 (a^2 - b c + a b + a c)*r + 2(b^2 - c a + b c + b a)(c^2 - a b + c a + c b)*s : :,
which is essentially X4075*r + X596*s.
The appearance of (r,s,k) in the following list means that r and s are not both 0 and W(r,s) = Xk:
(r,0,4075), (0,s,596), (r,r,6532), (r,-r,6534), (2r,r,2), (2r,-r,24068), and in general, we have the combo
W(r,s) = 3*r*X2 + (3*s - r)*X596. The list continues:
(-4,1,46426), (-10,3,46427), (-3,1, 46428), (-2,3,46429), (1,2,46430), (2,3,46431), (4,3,46432), (3,2,46433), (3,1,46434), (10,3,46435), (-1,1,46436), (-1,3,46437).
[and others].The appearance of (i,j,k) in the following list means that Xi-of-Xj = Xk:
(3,3,1147), (3,4,6523), (3,5,6663), (3,6,206), (3,7,17113), (3,8,6552), (3,9,6600), (3,10,4075), (3,11,64440), (4,1,4), (4,2,2), (4,3,68), [and others].
X64446–X64451 — Miyamoto-mixtilinear related centers
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, July 8, 2024. The following conjectures are due to Keita Miyamoto, July 02, 2024: In a triangle ABC with circumcircle ω, denote:.LI li{padding-bottom:6px; before.content: counter(list, lower-alpha) “) “;} \(a_{1}\), \(b_{1}\), \(c_{1}\): the A-, B-, C- mixtilinear excircles of ABC, respectively. \(o_{1}\): the outer-Apollonius circle of \(a_{1}\), \(b_{1}\), \(c_{1}\). \(a_{2}\): the circle, other than ω, passing through B and C and internally tangent to \(a_{1}\). Cyclically \(b_{2}\) and \(c_{2}\). \(o_{2}\): the outer-Apollonius circle of \(a_{2}\), \(b_{2}\), \(c_{2}\). Ab, Ac: the second intersections of \(a_{2}\) and AC, AB, respectively. Similarly Bc, Ba and Ca, Cb. A': the second intersection of \(b_{2}\) and \(c_{2}\), and, cyclically B', C'. \(t_{a}\): the common tangent of \(a_{1}\) and \(a_{2}\), and, cyclically \(t_{b}\), \(t_{c}\).Then: (a) \(o_{1}\) and \(o_{2}\) are tangent. (b) A'B'C' and the triangle bounded by the lines AbAc, BcBa, CaCb are perspective. (c) ABC and the triangle bounded by the lines \(t_{a}\), \(t_{b}\), \(t_{c}\) are perspective.
Results:
The center of the circle \(o_{1}\), found by Peter Moses, is X8158. The touchpoints of the mixtilinear excircles and \(o_{1}\) are the vertices of the 9th mixtilinear triangle. See X8158. The center of the circle \(o_{2}\), found by Angel Montesdeoca, is X35599. See X35599. The touchpoint of \(o_{1}\), \(o_{2}\), in (a), is X64446. The perspectors in (b) and (c) are X64447 and X64448, respectively.
Similar points can be found by using mixtilinear incircles instead of mixtilinear excircles and inner-Apollonius circles instead of outer Apollonius circles. With this new construction: The center of the circle \(o_{1}\), found by Peter Moses, is X6767. The touchpoints of the mixtilinear incircles and \(o_{1}\) are the vertices of the 8th mixtilinear triangle. See X6767. The center of the circle \(o_{2}\) is X64449. The touchpoint of \(o_{1}\), \(o_{2}\), in (a), is X44858. The perspectors in (b) and (c) are X64450 and X64451, respectively.

It is also bilogic to the intouch triangle and has the same centroid - X354. The perspector of the intouch and 1st Pavlov-Altinta ş triangles is an infinite point, X513.

X64970–X65084 — Basepoints of perspective triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on Aug 26, 2024. Given two perspective, but non-homothetic central triangles P1P2P3 and Q1Q2Q3 with perpsector S, determine the numbers \(x_{1}\), \(x_{2}\), and \(x_{3}\) such that:\(x_{i}\)*S + (1-\(x_{i})\)*Qi = Pi for each i=1,2,3 where the sum and equality are barycentric operations.If such numbers exist they are unique and (\(x_{1}:x_{2}:x_{3}\)) is a triangle center which we call 1st basepoint of P1P2P3 wrt Q1Q2Q3.Similarly, using the conditions (1-\(x_{i})\)*S + \(x_{i}\)*Qi = Pi, we can define the 2nd basepoint.It can be proven that if the 1st basepoint exists, then the 2nd basepoint also exists.For more information and results see this Euclid thread.
X65096–X65106 — Sign-images

The set of triangle centers is partitioned by the sign-image operation into three subsets:
Type 1: self-sign-images X, for which X'=X;Type 2: triangle centers X such that X' ≠ X and X' = X″;Type 3: triangle centers X such that X' ≠ X″. In this case X' and X″ are a bicentric pair.The appearance of k in the following list means that Xk is self-sign-image:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32, 38, 39, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 74, 75, [and others].The appearance of (h,k) in the following list means that Xk is the sign-image of X(h) and Xk is a triangle center:(7,8), (10,514), (12,11), (34,33), (35,36), (36,35), (37,513), (42,649), (56,55), (57,9), (65,650), (71,1459), (72,905), (73,652), (77,78), (84,40), (85,312), (87,43), (90,46)The appearance of k in the following list means that X'(k) and X″(k) are a bicentric pair:8, 9, 11, 21, 27, 28, 29, 33, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 55, 58, 59, 60, 78, 79, 80, 81, 86, 88, 89, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 108, 109, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, [and others].Regarding triangfle centers of Type 2, the appearance of {j,k} in the following list means that Xk is the sign-image of Xj and Xj is the sign-image of Xk:{10,514}, {35,36}, {37,513}, {42,649}, {71,1459}, {72,905}, {171,238}, {172,1914}, {202,7006}, {203,7005}, {213,667}, {228,22383}, {239,894}, [and others]

\(f(a,b,c) = x(a\),-b,-c)X*(a,b,c) =\(f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\)The point X* = X*(a,b,c) is here introduced as the double-sign-image of X. The set of triangle centers is partitioned by the double-sign-image operation into two subsets:
(1) double-self-sign-images X, for which X*=X;(2) triangle centers X such that X* ≠ X.The appearance of (h,k) in the following list means that Xk = X*(h): (8,2), (9,1), (11,1086), (21,100), (27,1897), (28,1783), (29,1897), (33,19), (40,1), (41,31), (43,1), (44,1100), (45,16777), (46,1), (55,6), (58,101), (59,7341), (60,1252), (78,63), (79,80), (80,79), (81,100), (86,190), (88,65112), (89,65113), (100,81), (101,58), (104,65115), (108,1396), (109,1412), (116,65116), (121,65117), (124,65118)
X65386–X65524 — Pairs of triangles with a common inconic
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, September 24, 2024. The following proposition is proved in Macaulay, F.S., Geometrical conics, Cambridge, 1895, pp 241:Prop. 77: If two triangles are circumscribed to a conic, they are also inscribed to a conic; and conversely.In the preamble just before X14713, there were described a set of conics circumscribing some selected pairs of triangles. Then, according to the reciprocal of the previous proposition, all pairs of triangles having a common circumconic also have a common inconic.
Let T=ABC, T'=A'B'C' be two triangles. The cross-triangle of T and T' is defined as the triangle A*B*C*, with A*=BC'∩B'C, B*=CA'∩C'A and C*=AB'∩A'B. Then, by Brianchon theorem, the points A, B, C, A″, B″, C″ lie on a conic if A*, B*, C* are collinear or coincident points, i.e., if A*B*C* is a degenerate triangle. This is the required condition for T and T' to be inscribed in a common conic and, consequently, to be circumscribed to another common conic.
An extensive list of centers of inconics of pairs of triangles can be seen here. For definitions of all triangles listed here, check the Index of triangles referenced in ETC.

The U-antipode of P is the point, other than P, in which the line PU meets the circumcircle. If P =\(p : q : r\) (on the circumcircle), then a 1st barycentric for the U-antipode of P is given by

X65742–X65752 — D-maps
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 17, 2024. Suppose that U and V are given by normalized barycentrics U = (u,v,w) and U' = (u’,v’,w’). The D-map of U and V is here introduced as the point \(u'' : v'' : w''\) given by
u’’ = \(S_{A}(u - u')\)2, v’’ = \(S_{B}(v - v')\)2, w’’ = \(S_{C}(w - w')\)2.
The name D-map corresponds to the fact that |UU'|2 = u’’+v’’+w’’. If U and U' lie on a line L, then every pair of points on L have the same D-map. If U and U' are triangle centers, then the D-map of U and U' are triangle centers.

X65784–X65852 — Bicevian-, bianticevian-, bipedal- and biantipedal- inconics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, October 19, 2024. Let ABC be a triangle and P', P″ two distinct points. The following facts are widely known: The circumcevian triangles T', T″ of P', P″, respectively, are inscribed in the circumcircle of ABC. The circumanticevian triangles T', T″ of P', P″, respectively, are inscribed in the circumcircle of ABC. The cevian triangles T', T″ of P', P″, respectively, are circumscribed by a conic, named the bicevian conic of P’ and P”. The anticevian triangles T', T″ of P', P″, respectively, are circumscribed by a conic, named the bianticevian conic of P’ and P”. If P', P″ are isogonal conjugates, the pedal triangles T', T″ of P', P″, respectively, are circumscribed by a circle, named the pedal circle of P’ or P”. If P', P″ are isogonal conjugates, the antipedal triangles T', T″ of P', P″, respectively, are circumscribed by a conic, named the antipedal conic of P’ or P”, or the apedal conic of P’ or P” (see preamble before X8268).
In all the previous cases, there are two triangles inscribed in a conic. Therefore, by the proposition if two triangles are circumscribed to a conic, they are also inscribed to a conic; and conversely, used in the preamble before X65386, every pair of those of triangles are tangent to a common conic, here accordingly named, the bicircumcevian-, bicircumanticevian-, bicevian-, bianticevian-, bipedal- and biantipedal- inconic of T' and T″.
This section includes the centers and perspectors of these inconics for P'=Xi and P″=Xj, with 1≤{i, j}≤11. A list of already known centers and perspectors can be seen here (
X(65784).pdf).As a remarkable note, for any P' and P″, ABC is autopolar with respect to the bicevian inconic of P' and P″.
X65887–X65947 — W-maps
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, October 22, 2024. Suppose that distinct points U and U' are given by normalized barycentrics U = (u,v,w) and U' = (u’,v’,w’). The W-map of U and U' is here introduced as the point W(U,U') given by
W = W(U,U') = (u - u’)2 : (v - v’)2 : (w - w’)2.
As a barycentric square, the point W lies on the Steiner inellipse, and the point W* = u-u’ : v-v’ : w-w’ lies on the line at infinity. Let g(W*) = isogonal conjugate of W*, so that g(W*) lies on the circumcircle. Then W = crosspoint(X2 and W*) = crosssum(X6 and g(W*)).
The W-map is related to the D-map introduced in the preamble just before X65742. If U and U' lie on a line L, then every pair of points on L have the same W-map. Thus, W(U,U') can be regarded as a mapping from the line L = UU' to W(U,U'), for which we write W(L), as well as W(U,U'). If U and U' are triangle centers, then W(U,U') is a triangle center.

X66087–X66089 — Points releated to the orthic-of-Fuhrmann triangle,Points with coordinates generated using a Perspective Fieldc
contributed by Chris van Tienhoven, December 8, 2024. Points X66087-X66089 can be calculated in a simple form using the concepts of Perspective Fields. For more information, see the introduction of ETC (November 22, 2024) and the links provded there.
Advantages of Perspective FieldsOne advantage of Perspective Fields is that, once the perspective coordinates (\(n1: n2: n3\)) of a point are known in a Perspective Field [P1, P2, P3; P4], the actual coordinates can be calculated using this formula:Px = n1.det[P4, P2, P3].P1 + n2.det[P1, P4, P3].P2 + n3.det[P1, P2, P4].P3.
This is particularly useful when working with points whose coordinates are given by elaborate trigonometric functions. By associating such points within a Perspective Field (PF) defined by four reference points—typically with simple coordinates—the calculations yield relatively straightforward results, as indicated by these three examples:
X66087 has perspective coordinates (\(1 : 2 : 0\)) in PF[X3, X356, X1134; X1137].
X66089 has perspective coordinates (\(1 : -1: 1\)) in PF[X4, X356, X1134; X3279].
X5390 has perspective coordinates (\(2 : 1 : 2\)) in PF[X2, X1136, X1137; X3273].
Finding a Perspective Field for a pointTo determine the Perspective Field for a point, its perspective coordinates are calculated in different numeric configurations of two reference triangles. If the coordinates match for both configurations, the point is part of the Perspective Field, and its perspective coordinates are already known from previous calculations. Although it is impractical to perform theses calculations for many sets of four points in ETC, there are certainly many other sets of four points that are amenable to Mathematica, Maple, etc.

X66554–X66580 — Perspectors related to Morley triangles
:contributed by César Eliud Lozada, December 23, 2024. (Many thanks to Chris van Tienhoven for sharing his deep knowledge on this topic.) Two triangles related to the original Morley triangles are recovered and renamed here: The Morley-homothetic-inscribed triangle is the triangle inscribed in ABC and homothetic to the 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd- Morley triangles. This triangle was introduced by Peter Moses as triangle J1J2J3 just before X3272. Its center is precisely X3272 and it has A-vertex with trilinear coordinates: J1 = 0 : sin((A - C + π)/3) : sin((A - B + π)/3) (See Peter Moses, X3272) The Morley-homothetic-circumscribed triangle is the triangle circumscribed to ABC and homothetic to the 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd- Morley triangles. This triangle is cited by Randy Hutson in a property of X8011. Its center is X8011 and it has A-vertex with trilinear coordinates: A″ = -1 : (a*(-1+4*z^2)-(2*(y-2*x*z))*c)/((-1+4*z^2)*b-(2*(x-2*y*z))*c): (a*(-1+4*y^2)-(2*(z-2*x*y))*b)/((-1+4*y^2)*c-(2*(x-2*y*z))*b)
where x = cos(A/3), y = cos(B/3), z = cos(C/3)
or, equivalently, A″ = cos((2*(B-C))/3)+2*cos((B-C)/3)*sin(A+π/6) :-2*csc((B-C+π)/3)*sin((A-C+π)/3)*(sin(C)*sin((B-A+π)/3)+sin(A)*sin((B-C+π)/3)) :-2*csc((C-B+π)/3)*sin((A-B+π)/3)*(sin(B)*sin((C-A+π)/3)+sin(A)*sin((C-B+π)/3))
X66630–X66869 — Points related to some P-anticomplementary triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on Jan 14, 2025. Let ABC be a triangle and P a point and PaPbPc the cevian triangle of P. Denote by Ma, Mb, Mc the midpoints of APa, BPb, CPc, resp. and by P1, P2, P3 the the isogonal conjugates of P wrt triangles MaBC, MbCA, McAB, resp. If P lies on the circumcircle, P1P2P3 is similar to ABC and its circumcircle is the anticomplementary circle.This fact suggests that for each point P we name the triangle P1P2P3 - P-anticomplementary triangle. Some other properties, if P lies on the circumcircle, include:- The orthology center P1P2P3 and ABC is the reflection of X20 in P and lies on the anticomplementary circle.- The X1-anticomplementary triangle is homothetic to the Artzt triangle with center X66632Some of the properties below refer to CTR-triangles. More info on these series of triangles is available in this catalog.

X67401–X67413 — Dao-Cevaconjugate-conics
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, March 10, 2025. The following theorem is due to Dao Thanh Oai (March 6, 2025):
Let ABC be a triangle and P, Q two distinct points.Parallel lines to AP, BP, CP through Q cut BC, CA, AB at A'q, B'q, C'q, respectively.Let A″q, B″q, C″q be the reflections of Q in A'q, B'q, C'q, respectively.Then:ApBpCp and A″qB″qC″q are perspective, with perspector Z(P, Q)=CevaConjugate(P, Q). Points {A″q, B″q, C″q, P, Q, Z(P,Q)} lie on a conic 𝒞(P, Q).The conic 𝒞(P, Q) is here named the P-Dao-Cevaconjugate conic of-Q.
If P = \(x_{p}\); \(y_{p}\); \(z_{p}\) and Q = \(x_{q}\); \(y_{q}\); \(z_{q}\) (barycentrics), then𝒞(P, Q) = Σ( (\(y_{p}\)*\(z_{q}\)-\(y_{q}\)*\(z_{p})\)*(\(x_{p}\)*(\(y_{p}\)*\(z_{q}\)+\(y_{q}\)*\(z_{p})\)+(\(y_{q}\)+\(z_{q})\)*\(y_{p}\)*\(z_{p})\)*x^2 - \(x_{q}\)*((\(y_{p}\)-\(z_{p})\)*\(y_{p}\)*\(z_{p}\)*\(x_{q}\)+(\(x_{p}\)+\(z_{p})\)*\(x_{p}\)*\(z_{p}\)*\(y_{q}\)-(\(x_{p}\)+\(y_{p})\)*\(x_{p}\)*\(y_{p}\)*\(z_{q})\)*y*z ) = 0Note: 𝒞(P, Q) is a rectangular hyperbola if Q lies on the tripolar linear of the isogonal conjugate-of-the cross difference of-(P and the Orion transform of P).

The Warren reflection circle has persepctor X67624 and is given by the following equation:
c^2*x*y + b^2*x*z + a^2*y*z- (x + y + z)*(((a^2 + b^2 + c^2)*x)/9+ ((a^2 + b^2 + c^2)*y)/9+ ((a^2 + b^2 + c^2)*z)/9)= 0.The appearance of (name, i) in the following list means that the Warren reflection triangle is perspective to the named triangle,a nd the perspector is Xi:

X67844–X68061 — Points related to CTR28 triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on March 25, 2025. If PaPbPc is the cevian triangle of P, CTR28(P) is the triangle with vertices at the orthocenters of APbPc, BPaPc, and CPaPb. The points in this section are related to P = X1, X2, X3, X4, X7, X8, X20, X69, X189, X253, X329. Note that:- CTR28-2, i.e when P=X2, is the Euler traingle.In general, CTR28(P) is the reflection of the cevian trianlgle of P, whenever P lies on the Lucas cubic K007. In this case it is also bilogic to ABC.
Some of the properties in this section refer to CTR-triangles. More info on these series of triangles is available in this catalog. Also, the abbreviation UCFT means unary cofactor triangle.

X68179–X68232 — Harmonic pencil and harmonic lines
contributed by César Eliud Lozada, April 3, 2025. Let \(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\), \(r_{3}\), \(r_{4}\) be four distinct lines concurrent in a point P. These four lines are said to be an harmonic pencil (or harmonic bundle) if there exists a line ρ, intersecting them at Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, respectively, and such that (Q1, Q2; Q3, Q4) are in harmonic range.
The most important fact in the above definition is that if such harmonic range occurs for a line intersecting the pencil of lines, it occurs for any other line intersecting that pencil.
In this section, three concurrent lines \(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\), \(r_{3}\) are given and the tripole of the fourth line \(r_{4}\) is calculated, such that \(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\), \(r_{3}\), \(r_{4}\) form an harmonic pencil. This fourth line \(r_{4}\) is denoted here as the {\(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\)}-harmonic line of-\(r_{3}\).
The appearance of (\(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\), \(r_{3})\)→n in the following lists means that the tripole of the {\(r_{1}\), \(r_{2}\)}-harmonic line of-\(r_{3}\) is Xn: [lists omitted here].
Note: These results come from a specific application of a more general theorem involving the conservation of cross-ratios. For more information, see this link.

X68334–X68355 — Antiproducts
contributed by Ivan Pavlov on Apr 22, 2025. If P=(\(u:v:w\)) and Q=(\(p:q:r\)) in barycentric coordinates, we define the antiproduct of P and Q as the point (-p u + q v + r w : p u - q v + r w : p u + q v - r w).The antiproduct of two points can be conveniently constructed as the anticomplement of their barycentric product. Note that the antiproduct of P and the isogonal conjugate of P is always X69. The antiproduct of P and the isotomic conjugate of P is always X2. Of course, the antiproduct of any point P and the centroid is the anticomplement of P.The following relations also holds:(1) II-Caph point of P = antiproduct of complement and anticomplement of P. See X32001 for definition of II-Caph.(2) Vijay 6th parallel transform of P = antiproduct of complement and isotomic conjugate of P.(3) M(P) = antiproduct of G and (KP2(G) of P and P), see the preambles of X40896 and X55917 for definitions of M and KP2. G denotes the centroid.(4) The antiproduct of the crosspoint and the cevian product of P and Q coincides with the antiproduct of P and Q.(5) The antiproduct of G and the infinity point of the tripolar of G coincides with the perspector of the conic {A, B, C,G,P}.

X69091–X69098 — Additive associates
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, June 18-30, 2025. Suppose that X is a triangle center, given by barycentrics \(f(a,b,c) : f(b,c,a) : f(c,a,b)\), where f(a,b,c) is a sum of n terms t(i) each of the form k a^p b^q c^r, where k is a nonzero constant, n>=1, and p,q,r are real numbers. Referring to the representation
(*) \(f(a,b,c) = + k(1) a^p(1) b^q(1) c^r(1) +\)… + k(n) a^p(n) b^q(n) c^r(n),
note that f(a,b,c) is a polynomial in a,b,c such that, in accord with the definition of triangle center, \(f(a,b,c) = f(b\),c,a) = f(c,a,b) and \(f(a,b,c) = f(a\),c,b), so that X is, in the literature, a polynomial triangle center, abbreviated as PTC.
In (*), the symbol + occurs n times, for which we write the n-tuple (+,+,…+). By varying the symbols so that the first + remains fixed, and the others can be +, 0, or - , or equivalently, 1, 0, or -1, we obtain 3^(n-1) n-tuples, and a corresponding set of 3^(n-1) points by varying the additive symbols in (*), by which we mean coefficient 1, 0, or -1. The resulting family of n-tuples, or points, are here named primary additive associates (AAs) of X. These points are of two kinds: triangle centers and bicentric pairs.
Let S(X) denote the set of AA’s of X. If X' and X″ are distinct PTC’s points in S(X), then S(X) possibly also contains a pair of (X',X″)-harmonic conjugates, specifically, the sum and difference of X' and X″, which we denote by X' + X″ and X' - X″. Either these are PTC’s, or else they are a bicentric pair. See Example 3 below.
Example 1. Represent the b^2 + c^2 + b c as (1,1,1). The AA for (1,1,-1) is the PTC b^2 - c^2 + b c : : . On the other hand, (1,-1,1) and (1,-1,-1) represent the bicentric pair of points, b^2 - c^2 + b c : : and b^2 - c^2 - b c.
In most of the rest of this preamble, AA’s are understood to represent triangle centers, not bicentric points.
Example 2. Taking \(f(a,b,c) = a^{6} - a^{4} b^{2} - a^{4} c^{2} + a^{2} b^{2} c^{2}\), so that X = X110, the family of AA’s of X has ten PTC’s, as follows:In the following tables, the AA consisting of all 1’s has terms in the order given by the Mathematica command Expand, as in Examples 1 and 2. [tables omitted here].
Example 3. Continuing the above discussion of harmonic conjugates, There are C(53,2) = 1378 pairs of points X', X″ that can be chosen from the 53 additive associates of X11. One such choice is X' = X141 and X″=X3703, with respect to which X38 and X15523 are harmonic conjugates. To verify this, it is expedient to use the equals symbol, =, between pairs of 7-tuples that represent the same point. Then
X' = X141 = (1,-1,0,1,1,1,-1)X″ = X3703 = (1,1,0,-1,1,-1,1)X' - X″ = (0,-2,0,2,0,2,-2) = (0,1,0 -1,0,-1,1) = X15523To illustrate the possiblity that for other choices of X' and X″, the harmonic conjugates are a bicentric pair, we have
X' = X321 = (0,0,0,1,0,1,0)X″ = X693 = (0,0,0,1,0,-1,0)X' + X″ = (0,0,0,2,0,0,0) = (0,0,0,1,0,0,0), which represents b^2 c : c^2 a : a^2 bX' - X″ = (0,0,0,0,0,2,0) = (0,0,0,0,0,1,0), which represents b c^2 : c a^2 : a b^2Note that the bicentric pair, (X' + X″, X' - X″) = (a/b : : , a/c : : ).For some choices of X' and X″, at least one of the harrnonic conjugates is a primary additive associate, while the other is a more general additive associate (not formally defined above). For example,
X'= X11 = (1,1,1,1,1,1,1)X″ = X523 = (1,-1,0,1,-1,-1,1)X' + X″ = (2,1,1,1,2,1,1) = 2 a^b^2 - b^3 - 2 a b c + b^2 c + 2 a c^2 + b c^2 - c^3 : :X' - X″ = (0,1,1,1,0,1,1) = X69173.The above discussion of AA’s is based on the Mathematica order in which the terms of the first barycentric of a point are arranged. The set of these AA’s include not only polynomial triangle centers, but also bicentric pairs. For each degree n of a PTC, there is a natural way to represent all PTC’s of that degree, without bicentric pairs. We begin with collections of elements, denoted by E(n), and defined inductively as follows:
E(0) = {1}E(1) = {b + c}E(n) = {b^n + c^2}∪ b c E(n-2), for n>=2.E(2) = {b^2 + c^2, b c}E(3) = {b^3 + c^3, b c (b + c)}E(4) = {b^4 + c^4, b c (b^2 + c^2), b^2 c^2)}.It is easy to find that the cardinality of E(n) is [(n+2)/(2)], where [ ] = floor.
In general, each even PTC of degree n has a representation
h(1) a^n + h(2) a^(n-1) p(1,b,c) + h(3) a^(n-2) p(2,b,c) + … ,
where each p(i,b,c) is a linear combination of the elements in E(n-2 i), and h(i) is a constant. The trivial linear combination, given by \(h(i)=0\) for all i, does not represent a triangle center. The odd PTC’s, as defined elsewhere in the literature, are simply those of the form (b - c)*e(a,b,c), where e(a,b,c) is an even PTC. Thus, every odd PTC of degree n+1 has a representation
(b - c)(h(1) a^n + h(2) a^(n-1) p(1,b,c) + h(3) a^(n-2) p(2,b,c) + … ).
While this manner of expressing PTC’s is conceptually natural, it nevertheless leads to a conclusion that various sets of barycentric products and isotomic conjugates, etc., can be highly elaborate and difficult to enumerate.

X69302–X69376 — Additive associates
contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, July 4, 2025. Continuing the discussion of odd polynomial triangle centers in the preamble just before X69091, every odd polynomial center of degree 4 has a representation
(b-c)(k1*a^3 + k2*a^2 (b+c) + k3*a (b^2+c^2) + k4 a b c + k5 (b*3+c^3) + k6 b c (b+c)),
which we abbreviate as ODD<k1,k2,k3,k4,k5,k6>. Here, the use of angle brackets, < and >, distinguishes this type of representation from the additive associate notation introduced in the preamble just before X69091, which uses parentheses and depend on Mathematica ordering of terms instead of elements E(n) as defined near X69091. (Of course, the latter are additive associates, too, but are restricted to triangle centers, whereas in general, additive associates include bicentric pairs of points.)
Centers X69302-X69376 are polynomial triangle centers of degree 4, in addition to centers listed below with indexes < 69302. The appearance of
ODD<k1,k2,k3,k4,k5,k6>, n
in the list means that Xn is the center given by ODD<k1,k2,k3,k4,k5,k6>. If H and K are two such distinct centers, then H+K and H-K are also of this type, where + an - are the usual vector addition and subtraction. The centers, H, K, H+K, H-K comprise a harmonic range. In many cases, if all the coefficients in the representations for H and K are in the set {-1,0,1}, then the coefficients for H+K and H-K are also in the set {-1,0,1}.
ODD<1,1,1,1,1,1>, 514ODD<1,1,1,1,0,0>, 513ODD<1,1,1,0,1,1>, 514ODD<1,1,1,0,0,-1>, 24719ODD<1,1,1,-1,1,1>, 514[and many others].Center X69461, Center of the Warren six-circle,contributed by Clark Kimberling, September 3, 2025. This preamble is based on notes from Benjamin Warren, September 2, 2025. Barycentric coordinates and equations were found by Peter Moses, September 3, 2025. In the plane of a triangle ABC, letI = incenter = X1;Pa= parabola having focus I and directrix the line BC, and define Pb and Pc cyclically;A' = the point of intersection of Pb and Pc inside triangle ABC, and define B' and C' cyclically;Tb = line tangent to parabola Pa at B';Tc = line tangent to parabola Pa at C';A″ = Tb&capTc, and define B″ and C″ cyclically.The circumcenters of the six triangles A'B″I, B'C″I, C'A″I, A'C″I, B'A″I, C'B″I are concyclic.(Benjamin Warren, September 2, 2025) The circle is here named the Warren six-circle.Peter Moses found that an equation for the parabola Pa is the following:
(a - b - c)*(a^4 + 2*a^3*b - 2*a*b^3 - b^4 + 2*a^3*c + 2*a*b^2*c + 2*a*b*c^2 + 2*b^2*c^2 - 2*a*c^3 - c^4)*x^2 + 4*a^2*(a - b - c)*c*(a - b + c)*x*y + 4*a^3*c*(a - b + c)*y^2 + 4*a^2*b*(a - b - c)*(a + b - c)*x*z - 4*a^3*(a + b - c)*(a - b + c)*y*z + 4*a^3*b*(a + b - c)*z^2 = 0.

X70231–X70236 — Points associated with P-Brocard triangles
contributed by Peter Moses and Clark Kimberling, October 17, 2025. The P-Brocard triangle is defined at X5642 as follows: Let O = X3 and suppose that P is a point other than O. Let OP be the circle with segment PO as diameter. Let A' be the point of intersection, other than O, of OP and the perpendicular bisector of segment BC, and define B' and C' cyclically. Triangle A'B'C' is called the P-Brocard triangle, and X5642 is X23-of-the-X2-Brocard triangle. (Randy Hutson, June 16-17, 2014)
Subsequently, P-Brocard triangles have been mentioned in properties of points Xi for i = 110, 146, 147, 153, 599, and others.
In October 2025, Peter Moses found barycentric coordinates for the P-Brocard triangle of a point P =\(p : q : r\), as follows:
A-vertex = 2*a^2*p : (-b^2 + c^2)*p + a^2*(q + r) : (b^2 - c^2)*p + a^2*(q + r)B-vertex = (c^2 - a^2)*q + b^2*(r + p) : 2*b^2*q : (-c^2 + a^2)*q + b^2*(r + p)C-vertex = (-a^2 + b^2)*r + c^2*(p + q) : (a^2 - b^2)*r + c^2*(p + q) : 2*c^2*rThe following triangles are perspective, with perspector X3, for every point P:
medial (TCCT 6.2)tangential (TCCT 6.5)1st circumperp (TCCT 6.21)2nd circumperp (TCCT 6.22)outer Napoleon (TCCT 6.31)inner Napoleon (TCCT 6.32)[and others].If P lies on the Stammler hyperbola (SH, the Feuerbach circumhyperbola of the tangential triangle), then the P-Brocard triangle is perspective to ABC, and the perspector lies on the cubic K028. The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that the lies on SH, and the Xi-Brocard triangle is perspective to ABC with perspector Xj: (1,8), (3,3), (6,76), (155,847), (159,8743), (195,25043), (399,14254), (610,14256), [and others]
X70270–X70277 — Points associated with the Warren H-circle
based on notes from Benjamin Warren and Peter Moses, November, 2025. The Warren H-circle is introduced in the preamble just before X67212. Here the Warren H-triangle, A*B*C*, with vertices on the Warren H-circle, is introduced, and points on the H-circle are presented.
In the plane of a triangle ABC, letA'B'C' = orthic triangle;A″ = reflection of H in line B'C', and define B″ and C″ cyclically;A_b = relection of A″ in line CA, and define B_c and C_a cyclically;A_c = relection of A″ in line AB, and define B_a and C_b cyclically;A* = midpoint of segment B_c C_b, and define B* and C* cyclically.The triangle A*B*C* is the Warren H-triangle, and A*,B*,C* lie on the Warren H-circle.Barycentrics \(x : y : z\) for vertex A* are given by
x = a^6*b^4 - 3*a^4*b^6 + 3*a^2*b^8 - b^10 + 3*a^4*b^4*c^2 - 6*a^2*b^6*c^2 + 3*b^8*c^2 + a^6*c^4 + 3*a^4*b^2*c^4 + 6*a^2*b^4*c^4 - 2*b^6*c^4 - 3*a^4*c^6 - 6*a^2*b^2*c^6 - 2*b^4*c^6 + 3*a^2*c^8 + 3*b^2*c^8 - c^10y = b^2*(-a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(-a^2 + b^2 + c^2)*(-(a^2*b^2) + b^4 - a^2*c^2 - 2*b^2*c^2 + c^4)z = -(c^2*(a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*(a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*(a^2*b^2 - b^4 + a^2*c^2 + 2*b^2*c^2 - c^4))}The triangle A*B*C* is perspective to the following triangles:
The appearance of (i,j) in the following list means that Xi-of-A*B*C* = Xj: (1,185), (2,12022), (3,5), (4,44076), (5,45970), (8,18560), (9,50649), (10,13403), (11,6146), (20,14516), (21,54), (30,32423), (35,43831), (36,125), (40,12162), (56,67902), (80,32659), (100,4), (101,31850), (103,31848), (104,3), (105,18338),[and othersj]

The Warren H-circle also passes through the points Xi for i = 70270..70277.

contributed by Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses. January 20, 2026. Suppose P =\(p : q : r\) and U =\(u : v : w\) are points (barycentric coordinates), and define the chi-point of P and U, denoted by χ(P,U), as follows:
χ(P,U) = p*(v^2 + w^2) : q*(w^2 + u^2) : r*(u:^2 + v^2)
Geometrically,χ(P,U) = crosspoint[P, P / U^2]χ(P,U) = crosssum[gP, U^2 tP*X6], where gP = isogonal conjugate of P, and tP = isotomic conjugate of PDefine the theta-point of P and U, denoted by ϑ(P,U), as follows:
ϑ(P,U) = u*(q*v + r*w) : v*(r*w + p*u) : w*(p*u + q*v)
Geometrically, ϑ(P,U) = crosspoint of U and tP
The appearance of (i,j),k in the following list means that χ(Xi, Xj) = k:
(1,1),38; (1,2),1; (1,6),4118; (1,7),4319; (1,8),614; (1,9),21346;

Note that χ(P,P) =ϑ(P,P) for all points P. Also,As noted in Clark Kimberling and Peter Moses, “Line conjugates in the plane of a triangle” Aequationes mathematicae 29 (2023) 161-184, the mapping given by
\(f(P,U) = p(v^{2} + w^{2}) - u (q v + r w)\): : = χ(P,U) - ϑ(P,U)
is called the P-(B)line conjugate of U. The fact that this point lies on the line PU follows from the identity
\(f(P,U) = s p - t u\): : , where s = u^2 + v^2 + w^2 and t = p*u + q*v + r*w.
Geometrically, f(P,U) is the intersection of PU and the trilinear polar of the isotomic conjugate of U.
For more, see the preamble just before X71316.
X71316–X71343 — Differences and sums of χ-points and ϑ-points
contributed by Peter Moses and Clark Kimberling. January 28, 2026. Let χ(P,U) and ϑ(P,U) be the mappings introduced in the preamble just before X71183; that is,
χ(P,U) = p*(v^2 + w^2) : q*(w^2 + u^2) : r*(u:^2 + v^2)
and
ϑ(P,U) = u*(q*v + r*w) : v*(r*w + p*u) : w*(p*u + q*v) .
Four kinds of triangle centers are represented in the range X71316-X71343:
X71316 - X71321: χ(P,U) - χ(U,P)X71322 - X71328: χ(P,U) + χ(U,P)X71329 - X71337: ϑ(P,U) - ϑ(U,P)X71338 - X71343: ϑ(P,U) + ϑ(U,P),where P and U are selected from the set {Xi} for 1 <= i <= 20, and the four notations such as χ(P,U) - χ(U,P) refer to combos (as in the Introduction of ETC). That is, χ(P,U) and χ(P,U) are given by normalized barycentrics; otherwise, χ(P,U) and χ(P,U) would differ in degree so that - and + would not give triangle centers.
Geometrically, χ(P,U) - χ(U,P) is the intersection of the line χ(P,U) χ(U,P) with the line at infinity, and χ(P,U) + χ(U,P) is the midpoint of χ(P,U) and χ(U,P).
Barycentrics are as follows:
χ(P,U) - χ(U,P) = q^3*u^3 + q^2*r*u^3 + q*r^2*u^3 + r^3*u^3 + q^2*r*u*v^2 + r^3*u*v^2 - p^3*v^3 - p*r^2*v^3 - p^3*v^2*w - p*q^2*v^2*w + q^3*u*w^2 + q*r^2*u*w^2 - p^3*v*w^2 - p*r^2*v*w^2 - p^3*w^3 - p*q^2*w^3 : :
χ(P,U) + χ(U,P) = q^3*u^3 + q^2*r*u^3 + q*r^2*u^3 + r^3*u^3 + 2*p*q^2*u*v^2 + q^2*r*u*v^2 + 2*p*r^2*u*v^2 + r^3*u*v^2 + p^3*v^3 + p*r^2*v^3 + p^3*v^2*w + p*q^2*v^2*w + 2*p*q^2*u*w^2 + q^3*u*w^2 + 2*p*r^2*u*w^2 + q*r^2*u*w^2 + p^3*v*w^2 + p*r^2*v*w^2 + p^3*w^3 + p*q^2*w^3 : :
Barycentrics for ϑ(P,U) - ϑ(U,P) and ϑ(P,U) + ϑ(U,P) are too long to be shown here.

X71743–X71749 — Points associated with the Euler coaxal pencil of circles
contributed by Peter Moses, March 12, 2026. Among the well known circles in the family of Euler coaxal pencil of circle are the following: circumcircle, nine-point circle, orthocentroidal circle, orthoptic of the Steiner inellipse, polar circle, and tangential circle. All members of the family are given by a parameter t and formulas for the square of the radius and center:
radius squared = (-SA*SB*SC*(1 - 3*t)^2 + S^2*SW (-1 + t)^2) / (4*S^2) = R^2*(2 + t*(-3 + J^2*(-1 + 2*t))) / 2
equation of the circle: c^2*x*y + b^2*x*z + a^2*y*z - (x + y + z)*(SA*t*x + SB*t*y + SC*t*z) = 0
Values of t for well-known circles are shown here:

t = t(P) = (-2*(c^2*p*q + b^2*p*r + a^2*q*r))/((p + q + r)*((a^2 - b^2 - c^2)*p + (-a^2 + b^2 - c^2)*q + (-a^2 - b^2 + c^2)*r))
Then there is a circle in the Euler pencil of circles that passes through P, given by the equation

The next list shows the parameters t for the foregoing list of circles.

Suppose that two distinct circles have powers P{p1,p2,p3} and Q{q1,q2,q3}, so that equations for the circles are
C(P) = c^2*x*y + b^2*x*z + a^2*y*z - (x + y + z)*(q1*x + q2*y + q3*z) = 0andC(Q) = c^2*x*y + b^2*x*z + a^2*y*z - (x + y + z)*(p1*x + p2*y + p3*z) = 0.Then the pencil of circles coaxal with these two are linear combinations of their equations:
(1 - t)*C(P) + t*C(Q)
Explicitly, the powers of the circles are
(p1*(1 - t) + q1*t, p2*(1 - t) + q2*t, p3*(1 - t) + q3*t)
and the radical axis is the line
(p1 - q1)*x + (p2 - q2)*y + (p3 - q3)*z = 0.

X72353–X72391 — Points associated with equilateral limit curves
based on notes contributed by Peter Moses, April, 22 2026. Many points, as functions of the sidelengths a,b,c of a triangle ABC with angles (and vertices) A, B, C have X2 as a limiting point as A, B, C all approach π/3, or equivalently, as the sidelengths a,b,c all approach a common value. However, if a point P is a triangle center with first barycentric that approaches 0 as a,b,c approach a common value, it is possible that the limiting positions of P form a curve that we call an equilateral limit curve, the ELC of P. We allow this term to include the case that the limiting locus is, as a degenerate case, X2. The ELC of X1, X2,…,X10 is G, but the ELC of X11 is the incircle, the ELC of X14 is the circumcircle, and the ELC of X59 is a deltoid.
Points X72353-X72391 are triangle centers of the form
P(k) = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - b c - c a - a b + k (b - c)^2 : : ,
where k is a real number. The ELC of P(k) is the circle
(1 + k)*(3 + k)*(x + y + z)^2 - (3 + 2*k)^2*(x*y + x*z + y*z) == 0, which has center X2 and radius k/(2k+3).
Points in ETC before April 22, 2026 that have the form P(k) are represented by the following table, which lists each such point along with the associated value of k: X52885,-7 X36525, -9/2 X903, -3 X4440, -2 X4409, -7/4 X190, -1 X36522, -9/10 X42886, -7/9 X4370, -3/4 X41138, -3/5 X4422, -1/2 X2, 0 X40480, 1/2 X27191, 1 X1086, infinity Points X72353-X72391 with associated values of k are shown next.

In the plane of a triangle ABC, letP = “Kiepert point” with base angle αP' = Kiepert point with base angle -αQ' = isogonal conjugate of P'.Then PQ and P'Q' intersect on the Euler line.From César Lozada, June 16, 2026: Let K = PQ∩P'Q', and define f(α) = |OK|/|OH| = 1/(-1 + 4*cos^2α). Triangle centers associated with selected values of α appear in the following table. α K = K(α) f(α) 0 X2 1/3 π/12 X14813 (-1+\(\sqrt{3}\))/2 π/6 X5 1/2 π/4 X4 1 π/3 X30 oo 5π/12 X14814 (-1-\(\sqrt{3}\))/2 π/2 X20 -1 K(α) = 3a^4 - 2(b^2+c^2)a^2 - (b^2-c^2)^2 + 4a^2(-a^2+b^2+c^2) cos^2 α : :

X72702–X72773 — Points related to parabicevian triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov, June 28, 2026. The following definitions follow Euclid 9767, see the post for more details.
Let Cev(X) denote the cevian triangle of some point X. Let U=(\(u:v:w\)) and P=(\(p:q:r\)), in barycentrics. Let T1 be the paraidal triangle of Cev(P) wrt Cev(U) and let T2 be the paraidal triangle of Cev(U) wrt Cev(P). Then we call the side triangle of T1 and T2 - parabicevian triangle of U and P.
In this section we consider the proprties of some parabicevian triangles. The following are homothetic to ABC:the parabicevian of X1 and X75 - with center X1215 the parabicevian of X3 and X68 - with center X184 the parabicevian of X4 and X69 - with center X9306 the parabicevian of X7 and X8 - with center X1376 the parabicevian of X6 and X76 - with center X4076 the parabicevian of X10 and X86 - with center X72769 In general, if Q is the isotomic conjugate of P, the parabicevian triangle of P and Q is homothetic to ABC with center at (v + w) (u^2 + v w) : : This is a sufficient, but not necessary condition.For arbitrary P and Q, the parabicevian triangle of P and Q is perspective to the medial triangle with centerp u (r v - q w) (q r u (v - w) - p q (u + v) w + p r v (u + w)) : :
X72818–X72837 — Points related to equiradial chain triangles
contributed by Ivan Pavlov, July 27, 2026. Given a triangle ABC we construct three congruent circles c1, c2, c3, such that c1 is tangent to AB and BC, c3 is tangent to AC and BC, and c2 is tangent to c1, c3, and BC. Let Oa denote the center of c2, and define Ob and Oc cyclically. The triangle OaObOc is here named the 3C-equiradial chain triangle.
A-vertex of OaObOC is the point (a^2 : a*b+2S : a*c+2S).
Let Ta be the tangency point of c2 with BC, and define Tb and Tc cyclically. The triangle TaTbTc is here named the 3T-equiradial chain triangle. The A-vertex of TaTbTc is the point (0 : sc+2*r : sb+2*r). Both the 3C- and 3T-Equiradial chain triangles are perspective to ABC, with perspectors X3300 and X72832, respectivey. Note that X72832 lies on the rectangular circumhyperbola through X3300. The 3C-equiradial Chain triangle is also perspective to every CTR32 triangle.
