The Poncelet Simson-line envelope point conjecture
The Poncelet Simson-line envelope point conjecture
Let a Poncelet triangle family be inscribed in a circle. Fix a point on the circumcircle, let be the perpendicular projection of onto the Simson line of a member of the family, and let the Simson lines vary through the family. Simson-line envelope point conjecture. Over any Poncelet triangle family inscribed in a circle, the envelope of the Simson lines is a point antipodal to on the circular locus of . The preceding theorem establishes that the locus of the projection is a circle, and the claim identifies the Simson-line envelope; its general validity is presented as an open conjecture.
