  • The Stammler Circles
    Forum Geometricorum b Volume 2 (2002) 151–161. bbb FORUM GEOM ISSN 1534-1178 The Stammler Circles Jean-Pierre Ehrmann and Floor van Lamoen Abstract. We investigate circles intercepting chords of specified lengths on the sidelines of a triangle, a theme initiated by L. Stammler [6, 7]. We generalize his results, and concentrate specifically on the Stammler circles, for which the intercepts have lengths equal to the sidelengths of the given triangle. 1. Introduction Ludwig Stammler [6, 7] has investigated, for a triangle with sidelengths a, b, c, circles that intercept chords of lengths µa, µb, µc (µ>0) on the sidelines BC, CA and AB respectively. He called these circles proportionally cutting circles,1 and proved that their centers lie on the rectangular hyperbola through the circumcenter, the incenter, and the excenters. He also showed that, depending on µ, there are 2, 3 or 4 circles cutting chords of such lengths. B0 B A0 C A C0 Figure 1. The three Stammler circles with the circumtangential triangle As a special case Stammler investigated, for µ =1, the three proportionally cutting circles apart from the circumcircle. We call these the Stammler circles. Stammler proved that the centers of these circles form an equilateral triangle, cir- cumscribed to the circumcircle and homothetic to Morley’s (equilateral) trisector Publication Date: November 22, 2002.

    Forum Geometricorum b Volume 4 (2004) 35–52. bbb FORUM GEOM ISSN 1534-1178 Steiner’s Theorems on the Complete Quadrilateral Jean-Pierre Ehrmann Abstract. We give a translation of Jacob Steiner’s 1828 note on the complete quadrilateral, with complete proofs and annotations in barycentric coordinates. 1. Steiner’s note on the complete quadrilateral In 1828, Jakob Steiner published in Gergonne’s Annales a very short note [9] listing ten interesting and important theorems on the complete quadrilateral. The purpose of this paper is to provide a translation of the note, to prove these theorems, along with annotations in barycentric coordinates. We begin with a translation of Steiner’s note. Suppose four lines intersect two by two at six points. (1) These four lines, taken three by three, form four triangles whose circum- circles pass through the same point F . (2) The centers of the four circles (and the point F ) lie on the same circle. (3) The perpendicular feet from F to the four lines lie on the same line R, and F is the only point with this property. (4) The orthocenters of the four triangles lie on the same line R. (5) The lines R and R are parallel, and the line R passes through the midpoint of the segment joining F to its perpendicular foot on R. (6) The midpoints of the diagonals of the complete quadrilateral formed by the four given lines lie on the same line R (Newton). (7) The line R is a common perpendicular to the lines R and R. (8) Each of the four triangles in (1) has an incircle and three excircles.

  • ON the FEUERBACH-SPHERES of an ORTHOCENTI%IC SIMPLEX by E. EGEI~VARY (Budapest), Member of the Academy
    ON THE FEUERBACH-SPHERES OF AN ORTHOCENTI%IC SIMPLEX By E. EGEI~VARY (Budapest), member of the Academy 1. Attempting to extend the theorems of the geometry of the triangle to three and more dimensions it is known by experience that sCrict analogies exist only in the case of an orthoccntric tetrahedron or simplex, i. e., such one whose altitudes have a point in common. Actually it has been recognized rather long ago that the Feuerbach- circle (or nine-point circle) has no analogon in the case of a general tetra- hedron, but if the tetrahedron is orthocentric then there are two spheres (the ,,twelve-point" spheres), each of which can be regarded as the three dimensional extension of the Feuerbach-circle. Recent researches ~ have shown that with an orthocentric simplex in n- 1 dimensions n spheres may be associated so that the k-th sphere contains the orthocenters and the barycenters os all the /c -- 1 dimensional partial simplices. Consequently, in n- 1 dimensions there are n extensions of the Feuerbach-circle. These Feuerbach-spheres belong to the pencil which is determined by the circumsphere and the polarsphere. It is well known that the discussion of the Fcuerbach-figure is rather asymmetrical and cumbersome if one uses Cartesian coordinates. Therefore several writers, when dealing with the Feuerbach-circle, made use of triangular coordinates. The discussion in Cartesian coordinates becomes evea more clumsy in the case of three and more dimensions. In the present paper we wish to show that the Feuerbach-figure in any dimension is capable of a symmetrical and very intuitive analytic represen- tation by means of an orthocentric system os coordinates.

    Orthocentric simplices and their centers Allan L. Edmondsa, Mowaffaq Hajjab1, Horst Martinic1 a Department of Mathematics Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405 USA b Department of Mathematics Yarmouk University Irbid JORDAN c Faculty of Mathematics Chemnitz University of Technology 09107 Chemnitz GERMANY Abstract A simplex is said to be orthocentric if its altitudes intersect in a common point, called its orthocenter. In this paper it is proved that if any two of the traditional centers of an orthocentric simplex (in any dimension) coincide, then the simplex is regular. Along the way orthocentric simplices in which all facets have the same circumradius are characterized, and the possible barycentric coordinates of the orthocenter are described precisely. In particular these barycentric coordinates are used to parametrize the shapes of orthocentric simplices. The substantial, but widespread, literature on orthocentric simplices is briefly surveyed in order to place the new results in their proper context, and some of the previously known results are given new proofs from the present perspective. Keywords: barycentric coordinates, centroid, circumcenter, equiareal simplex, equifacetal simplex, equiradial simplex, Gram matrix, incenter, Monge point, orthocenter, orthocentric simplex, rectangular simplex, regular simplex 0 Introduction arXiv:math/0508080v1 [math.MG] 3 Aug 2005 This paper is a study of the geometric consequences of assumed coincidences of centers of a d-dimensional orthocentric simplex (or, simply, orthocentric d-simplex) S in the d-dimensional Euclidean space, d 3, i.e., of a d-simplex S whose d + 1 altitudes have a common point , called the orthocenter of S. The≥ centers under discussion are the centroid , the circumcenter and theHincenter of S.

  • A Basic Assumptions
    A Basic Assumptions In this chapter, we repeat the basic assumptions for plane and solid geometry, plus a number of definitions. Definition. A metric space is a set M with a metric d. We call the elements of M the points of the metric space. To every pair of points X and Y ,the metric d associates a real number, the distance from X to Y . This distance satisfies the following properties: for every X, Y , Z in M, 1. d(X, Y ) ≥ 0; 2. d(X, Y ) = 0 if and only if X = Y ; 3. d(X, Y )=d(Y,X); 4. d(X, Z) ≤ d(X, Y )+d(Y,Z). Basic Assumption 1 The Euclidean plane V and 3-space W are both metric spaces containing more than one point. Definition. For any pair of points A and B in a metric space M with metric d, the line segment [AB]isgivenby [AB]={ X ∈ M : d(A, X)+d(X, B)=d(A, B) } . If A and B are distinct, the line AB is given by AB = { X : X ∈ [AB]orB ∈ [AX]orA ∈ [XB] } . Basic Assumption 2 Every line l in the plane or in 3-space admits an iso- metric surjection ϕ from l to R. Basic Assumption 3 The Euclidean plane V and 3-space W each contain three noncollinear points. 334 A Basic Assumptions Definition. For lines in the plane V we define the notions parallel and inter- secting. We say that lines m and n are parallel if m = n or m ∩ n = ∅.Ifm and n are not parallel, we say that m and n are intersecting lines.

  • Geometry of Minkowski Planes and Spaces – Selected Topics
    Geometry of Minkowski Planes and Spaces – Selected Topics DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.) Vorgelegt von M. Sc. Senlin Wu geboren am 16.01.1982 in ShanXi Provinz, VR China Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Horst Martini (TU Chemnitz) Prof. Dr. Gunter Weiß(TU Dresden) Prof. Dr. Eike Hertel (Friedrich-Schiller-Universitaet Jena) Tag der Verteidigung: 29. 01. 2009 1 Abstract The results presented in this dissertation refer to the geometry of Minkowski spaces, i.e., of real finite-dimensional Banach spaces. First we study geometric properties of radial projections of bisectors in Minkowski spaces, especially the relation between the geometric structure of radial projections and Birkhoff orthogonality. As an application of our results it is shown that for any Minkowski space there exists a number, which plays somehow the role that √2 plays in Euclidean space. This number is referred to as the critical number of any Minkowski space. Lower and upper bounds on the critical number are given, and the cases when these bounds are attained are characterized. Moreover, with the help of the properties of bisectors we show that a linear map from a normed linear space X to another normed linear space Y preserves isosceles orthogonality if and only if it is a scalar multiple of a linear isometry. Further on, we examine the two tangent segments from any exterior point to the unit circle, the relation between the length of a chord of the unit circle and the length of the arc corresponding to it, the distances from the normalization of the sum of two unit vectors to those two vectors, and the extension of the notions of orthocentric systems and orthocenters in Euclidean plane into Minkowski spaces.

  • Jeno Egervary a Great Personality of the Hungarian Mathematical School P
    JENO EGERVARY A GREAT PERSONALITY OF THE HUNGARIAN MATHEMATICAL SCHOOL P. R6zSA Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Technical University, H-1521 Budapest Received September 5, 1983 Jeno Egervary 1891-1958 Summary The paper deals with the life and work of Jeno Egervary, professor of mathematics at the Technical University Budapest from 1941 to 1958. A comprehensive bibliography of his papers is attached. Denes Konig's paper Graphs and Matrices [I] and Jeno Egervary's paper On Combinatorial Properties of Matrices [11], containing results which are classical by now, appeared more than 50 years ago in Vol. 38 of the Hungarian periodical "Matematikai es Fizikai Lapok." Konig also published his results in German [ll] and some years later included that paper in his book entitled Theory of Finite and Infinite Graphs (in German, [Ill]). The importance of his work could not be better demonstrated than by the fact that the book was re- 5* 288 P RDZ5A published in New York in 1950, by the Chelsea Publishing Corp. The victorius career of Konig's and Egervary's theorems made its real start when American mathematicians recognized their applicability in several problems of operation research. H. W. Kuhn translated and published Egervary's work in 1955 [IV]. Soon after, in his papers [VJ [VIJ he showed how Konig's and Egervary's theorem could be applied for solving the so-called assignment problem. From that time on, authors quote the method of proving the above theorems as Hungarian Method applicable in various fields and different forms (cf. e.g. [VII], [VIIIJ).
