Conjecture on the envelope of the circumcircle-incenter line for Poncelet triangles
Conjecture on the envelope of the circumcircle-incenter line for Poncelet triangles
Let be the Poncelet family whose circumcircle is constrained by the circular caustic, and let denote the line associated with the circumcircle-incenter construction described in the source. Envelope-conic conjecture. Over , the envelope of is a conic if and only if the Poncelet caustic is a circle. The source presents this assertion as based on experimental evidence; in the equilateral specialization, the corresponding envelope is described separately as a parabola.
