Inscribed Equilateral Triangles.
Abstract
Article
If equilateral triangles are inscribed in an irregular triangle in such a way that each edge (or its extension) of the latter contains a distinct vertex of each equilateral triangle, the centers of the equilateral triangles must lie on one of two lines, each of which is orthogonal to the Euler line of the irregular triangle.

The Five Conics Problem.
Abstract
Article
This paper concerns a generalization of the so-called three conics theorem. We consider the model that consists of five conics. We show that the five conics
in the setting has the same property as the three conics theorem and it takes the three conics in the model as a special case. Interesting corollaries are discussed as well.

Paris Pamfilos,
Parabolas and families of convex quadrangles.
Abstract
Article
In this article we study some parabolas naturally associated with a generic convex quadrangle. It is shown that the quadrangle defines, through these parabolas, a one-parameter-family of quadrangles, containing the quadrangle of reference. The members of this family share the same diagonal lines, Newton line and ratio of diagonals. In addition it is shown that this family contains a unique cyclic quadrangle.

On some properties of confocal conics, pp. 4-11.
Abstract
Article
We prove two theorems concerning confocal conics. The first one is related to bodies invisible from one point. In particular, this theorem is a generalization of Galperin—Plakhov's theorem.
The second one is related to billiards bounded by confocal conics and is used to construct bodies invisible from two points. All the proofs are synthetic.

In this article we study the generation of an ellipse related to two intersecting circles.
The resulting configuration has strong ties to triangle geometry and by means of orthopoles establishes also a relation with cardioids and deltoids.

Abstract

For a fixed point P and a fixed circle Ω consider a conic (the generalized Brocard ellipse) that touches lines XY
inclined at a fixed angle to PX, where X∈Ω.
For this construction, we prove some facts that allow to obtain more properties of harmonic quadrilaterals.

For a given triangle, we deal with the circles tangent to the incircle and passing through two its vertices. We present some known and recent properties of the points of tangency and some related objects.
Further we outline some generalizations for polygons and polytopes.

One property of the Jerabek hyperbola and its corollaries, pp. 53—56.
Abstract
Article
We study the locus of the points P having the following property: if
A1B1C1
is the circumcevian triangle of P with respect to the given triangle ABC, and
A2,
B2,
C2
are the reflections of A1, B1, C1 in BC, CA, AB, respectively, then the triangles ABC and A2B2C2 are perspective.
We show that this locus consists of the infinite line and the Jerabek hyperbola of ABC. This fact yields some interesting corollaries.

Ilya I. Bogdanov, Two theorems on the focus-sharing ellipses: a three-dimensional view, pp. 1—5.
Abstract
Article
Consider three ellipses each two of which share a common focus.
The “radical axes” of the pairs of these ellipses are concurrent, and the points of
intersection of the common tangents to the pairs of these ellipses are
collinear.
We present short synthetical proofs of these facts. Both proofs deal with the
prolate spheroids having the given ellipses as axial sections.

Abstract
Article
To any pair of perspective triangles we assign a family F of projective transformations such that image of the second
triangle under any transformation from F is perspective to the first triangle. This helps us to solve some interesting
problems.

Lev A. Emelyanov and Pavel A. Kozhevnikov, Isotomic similarity, pp. 17—22.
Abstract
Article
Let A1, B1, C1 be points chosen on the sidelines BC, CA, BA of a triangle ABC, respectively. The circumcircles
of triangles AB1C1, BC1A1, CA1B1 intersect the circumcircle of triangle ABC again at points A2, B2, C2
respectively. We prove that triangle A2B2C2 is similar to triangle A3B3C3, where A3, B3, C3 are symmetric to A1,
B1,C1 with respect to the midpoints of the sides BC, CA, BA respectively.

Abstract
Article
Isotomic and isogonal conjugate with respect to a triangle is a well-known and well studied map frequently used in classical geometry. In this article we show that there is a reason to study conjugation of lines. This conjugation has many interesting properties and relations to other objects of a triangle.

Nguyen Minh Ha, A proof of Vittas’ Theorem and its converse, pp. 32—39.
Abstract
Article
We discuss Vittas’s theorem, which states that the Euler lines of non-equilateral triangles ABP, BCP,
CDP and DAP in a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, whose diagonals AC and BD intersect at P, are concurrent or are pairwise parallel or coincident. We also introduce and prove the converse of these theorems.

Darij Grinberg, Ehrmann’s third Lemoine circle, pp. 40—52.
Abstract
Article
The symmedian point of a triangle is known to give rise to two circles, obtained by drawing respectively parallels and antiparallels to the sides of the triangle through the symmedian point. In this note we will explore a third circle with a similar construction — discovered by Jean-Pierre Ehrmann. It is obtained by drawing circles through the symmedian point and two vertices of the triangle, and intersecting these circles with the triangle’s sides. We prove the existence of this circle and identify its center and radius.

Erratum
In 1996, J. A. Lester discovered that in every scalene triangle the two Fermat-Torricelli points, the circumcenter, and the center of the nine-point circle are concyclic. We give the first proof of this fact to only employ results from elementary geometry.

A new synthetic proof of the following fact is given: if three points A′, B′, C′ are the apices of
isosceles directly-similar triangles BCA′, CAB′, ABC′ erected on the sides BC, CA, AB of a triangle
ABC, then the lines AA′, BB′, CC′ concur. Also we prove some interesting properties of the Kiepert hyperbola which is the locus of concurrence points, and of the Grinberg–Myakishev hyperbola which is its generalization.
