Given a plane triangle $Delta$, one can construct a new triangle $Delta$ whose vertices are intersections of two cevian triples of $Delta$. We extend the family of operators $DeltamapstoDelta$ by complexifying the defining two cevian parameters and study its rich structure from arithmetic-geometric viewpoints. We also find another useful parametrization of the operator family via finite Fourier analysis and apply it to investigate area-preserving operators on triangles.
Given a convex disk $K$ and a positive integer $k$, let $vartheta_T^k(K)$ and $vartheta_L^k(K)$ denote the $k$-fold translative covering density and the $k$-fold lattice covering density of $K$, respectively. Let $T$ be a triangle. In a very recent paper, K. Sriamorn proved that $vartheta_L^k(T)=frac{2k+1}{2}$. In this paper, we will show that $vartheta_T^k(T)=vartheta_L^k(T)$.
We analyze loci of triangles centers over variants of two-well known triangle porisms: the bicentric family and the confocal family. Specifically, we evoke a more general version of Poncelets closure theorem whereby individual sides can be made tangent to separate caustics. We show that despite a more complicated dynamic geometry, the locus of certain triangle centers and associated points remain conics and/or circles.
We construct a converging geometric iterated function system on the moduli space of ordered triangles, for which the involved functions have geometric meanings and contain a non-contraction map under the natural metric.
We study generalization of median triangles on the plane with two complex parameters. By specialization of the parameters, we produce periodical motion of a triangle whose vertices trace each other on a common closed orbit.
