Classification of Poncelet triangle families with stationary orthocenter
Let a Poncelet triangle family consist of triangles simultaneously inscribed in and circumscribed about a pair of conics, and let denote the orthocenter. The conics may be configured as focal-, MacBeath, or Dual.
Stationary-orthocenter classification conjecture. A Poncelet triangle family maintains stationary only if the conics are configured as focal-, MacBeath, or Dual.
This conjecture proposes a classification of Poncelet triangle families with stationary orthocenter, beyond the explicitly identified focal-, MacBeath, and Dual families. The source provides no resolution or further evidence of its status.
