Uniqueness of the conic-sweeping triangle center for inversive Poncelet triangles
Uniqueness of the conic-sweeping triangle center for inversive Poncelet triangles
Let and be nested ellipses admitting a family of Poncelet triangles, and let be a triangle in . Let be obtained by inverting the vertices of with respect to a fixed circle , and let denote the circumcenter of . In a generic Poncelet family, the uniqueness conjecture. the only triangle center of whose locus is a conic is the circumcenter . This is suggested by experiments and complements the theorem that the locus of is a conic; the claim concerns whether any other triangle center of the inversive Poncelet triangles can have a conic locus.
