Invariant Center Power and Elliptic Loci of Poncelet Triangles (2102.09438v4)
Published 18 Feb 2021 in math.MG, cs.GR, cs.RO, math.CV, and math.DS
Abstract: We study center power with respect to circles derived from Poncelet 3-periodics (triangles) in a generic pair of ellipses as well as loci of their triangle centers. We show that (i) for any concentric pair, the power of the center with respect to either circumcircle or Euler's circle is invariant, and (ii) if a triangle center of a 3-periodic in a generic nested pair is a fixed affine combination of barycenter and circumcenter, its locus over the family is an ellipse.
