Neumann proved the theorem that there is no ruler-and- compass construction for the general solution of the ancient Alhazen's problem billiard problem or reflection from a spherical mirror. For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles in turn, using each point as centre and passing through the other point. In other words, all three sides of the triangle are congruent — and therefore it is indeed an equilateral triangle. A 'collapsing compass' would appear to be a less powerful instrument. Fear not.

  • Kaleidoscopic Symmetries and Self-Similarity of Integral Apollonian Gaskets
    Kaleidoscopic Symmetries and Self-Similarity of Integral Apollonian Gaskets Indubala I Satija Department of Physics, George Mason University , Fairfax, VA 22030, USA (Dated: April 28, 2021) Abstract We describe various kaleidoscopic and self-similar aspects of the integral Apollonian gaskets - fractals consisting of close packing of circles with integer curvatures. Self-similar recursive structure of the whole gasket is shown to be encoded in transformations that forms the modular group SL(2;Z). The asymptotic scalings of curvatures of the circles are given by a special set of quadratic irrationals with continued fraction [n + 1 : 1; n] - that is a set of irrationals with period-2 continued fraction consisting of 1 and another integer n. Belonging to the class n = 2, there exists a nested set of self-similar kaleidoscopic patterns that exhibit three-fold symmetry. Furthermore, the even n hierarchy is found to mimic the recursive structure of the tree that generates all Pythagorean triplets arXiv:2104.13198v1 [math.GM] 21 Apr 2021 1 Integral Apollonian gaskets(IAG)[1] such as those shown in figure (1) consist of close packing of circles of integer curvatures (reciprocal of the radii), where every circle is tangent to three others. These are fractals where the whole gasket is like a kaleidoscope reflected again and again through an infinite collection of curved mirrors that encodes fascinating geometrical and number theoretical concepts[2]. The central themes of this paper are the kaleidoscopic and self-similar recursive properties described within the framework of Mobius¨ transformations that maps circles to circles[3].

  • Strophoids, a Family of Cubic Curves with Remarkable Properties
    Hellmuth STACHEL STROPHOIDS, A FAMILY OF CUBIC CURVES WITH REMARKABLE PROPERTIES Abstract: Strophoids are circular cubic curves which have a node with orthogonal tangents. These rational curves are characterized by a series or properties, and they show up as locus of points at various geometric problems in the Euclidean plane: Strophoids are pedal curves of parabolas if the corresponding pole lies on the parabola’s directrix, and they are inverse to equilateral hyperbolas. Strophoids are focal curves of particular pencils of conics. Moreover, the locus of points where tangents through a given point contact the conics of a confocal family is a strophoid. In descriptive geometry, strophoids appear as perspective views of particular curves of intersection, e.g., of Viviani’s curve. Bricard’s flexible octahedra of type 3 admit two flat poses; and here, after fixing two opposite vertices, strophoids are the locus for the four remaining vertices. In plane kinematics they are the circle-point curves, i.e., the locus of points whose trajectories have instantaneously a stationary curvature. Moreover, they are projections of the spherical and hyperbolic analogues. For any given triangle ABC, the equicevian cubics are strophoids, i.e., the locus of points for which two of the three cevians have the same lengths. On each strophoid there is a symmetric relation of points, so-called ‘associated’ points, with a series of properties: The lines connecting associated points P and P’ are tangent of the negative pedal curve. Tangents at associated points intersect at a point which again lies on the cubic. For all pairs (P, P’) of associated points, the midpoints lie on a line through the node N.

Human beings, “being as they be”, tend to take for granted some of their greatest discoveries (witness the wheel, fire, language, music,...). In Mathe- matics, the once flourishing topic of Triangle Geometry has turned fallow and fallen out of vogue (although Phil Davis offers us hope that it may be resusci- tated by The Computer [70]). A regrettable casualty of this general decline in prominence has been the Equilateral Triangle. Yet, the facts remain that Mathematics resides at the very core of human civilization, Geometry lies at the structural heart of Mathematics and the Equilateral Triangle provides one of the marble pillars of Geometry.

  • Efficiently Constructing Tangent Circles 3
    EFFICIENTLY CONSTRUCTING TANGENT CIRCLES ARTHUR BARAGAR AND ALEX KONTOROVICH 1. Introduction The famous Problem of Apollonius is to construct a circle tangent to three given ones in a plane. The three circles may also be limits of circles, that is, points or lines, and “construct” of course refers to straightedge and compass. In this note, we consider the problem of constructing tangent circles from the point of view of efficiency. By this we mean using as few moves as possible, where a move is the act of drawing a line or circle. (Points are free as they do not harm the straightedge or compass, and all lines are considered endless, so there is no cost to “extending” a line segment.) Our goal is to present, in what we believe is the most efficient way possible, a construction of four mutually tangent circles. (Five circles of course cannot be mutually tangent in the plane, for their tangency graph, the complete graph K5, is non-planar.) We first present our construction before giving some remarks comparing it to others we found in the literature. 2. Baby Cases: One and Two Circles Constructing one circle obviously costs one move: let A and Z be any distinct points in the plane and draw the circle OA with center A and passing through Z. Given OA, constructing a second circle tangent to it costs two more moves: draw a line through AZ, and put an arbitrary point B on this line (say, outside OA). Now draw the circle OB with center B and passing through Z; then OA and OB are obviously tangent at Z, see Figure 1.

  • Generalized Apollonian Circles
    Generalized Apollonian Circles Paul Yiu Abstract. Given a triangle, we construct a one-parameter family of triads of coaxal circles orthogonal to circumcircle and mutually tangent to each other at a point on the circumcircle. This is a generalization of the classical Apollonian circles which intersect at the two isodynamic points. The classical Apollonian circles of a triangle are the three circles each with di- ameter the segment between the feet of the two bisectors of an angle on its opposite sides. It is well known that the centers of the three circles are the intercepts of the Lemoine axis on the sidelines, 1 and that they have two points in common, the iso- dynamic points ([1, p.218]). The feet of the internal angle bisectors are the traces of the incenter. Those of the external angle bisectors are the intercepts of the tri- linear polar of the incenter. More generally, given a point P , with traces X, Y , Z on the sidelines BC, CA, AB of triangle ABC, the harmonic conjugates of X in BC, Y in CA, Z in AB are the intercepts X, Y , Z of the trilinear polar of P on these sidelines. The circles with diameters XX, YY, ZZ are the Apollonian cir- cles associated with P . The isodynamic points are the common points of the triad of Apollonian circles associated with the incenter. In this note we characterize the points P for which the three Apollonian circles are mutually tangent to each other, and provide an elegant euclidean construction for such circles. We work with barycentric coordinates with respect to triangle ABC, and their homogenization.
