A Generalization of Feuerbach's Theorem

  • J. P. Gabbatt (a1)
Extract

It is well known that in non-euclidean geometry a plane triangle has four circumcircles, and that each of these circles touches each of four other circles. The latter theorem, which is an extension of that of Feuerbach, is essentially due to Hart.

The coordinates (ξ, η, ζ) of the four points IA are then (±α, ±β, ±γ) and the ambiguous signs involved are those referred to in the text; while the forms Ck involve only even powers of the numbers α, β, γ, as is of course implied in the theorem (6.21).

Any plane order-cubic, T 1, of the T-pencil, and the apolar class-cubic, θ1, of the θ-range, may be substituted for T1, θ1, respectively throughout the specification. Since i, k are independent, ∞ 2 systems of sixteen conies [T] may thus be obtained.
