================================================================
Olga Radko and Emmanuel Tsukerman,
The perpendicular bisector construction, isotopic point and Simson line,
Forum Geometricorum, 12 (2012) 161--189.

Abstract.   Given a noncyclic quadrilateral, we consider an iterative procedure
producing a new quadrilateral at each step. At each iteration, the vertices of
the new quadrilateral are the circumcenters of the triad circles of the previous
generation quadrilateral. The main goal of the paper is to prove a number of
interesting properties of the limit point of this iterative process. We show
that the limit point is the common center of spiral similarities taking any of
the triad circles into another triad circle. As a consequence, the point has the
isoptic property i.e., all triad circles are visible from the limit point at the
same angle. Furthermore, the limit point can be viewed as a generalization of a
circumcenter. It also has properties similar to those of the isodynamic point of
a triangle.} We also characterize the limit point as the unique point for which
the pedal quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Continuing to study the pedal
properties with respect to a quadrilateral, we show that for every quadrilateral
there is a unique point (which we call the Simson point) such that its pedal
consists of four points on a line, which we call the Simson line, in analogy to
the case of a triangle. Finally, we define a version of isogonal conjugation for
a quadrilateral and prove that the isogonal conjugate of the limit point is a
parallelogram, while that of the Simson point is a degenerate quadrilateral
whose vertices coincide at infinity.

If the isotomic conjugates of the persectors of two
inconics are interior points of ABC with
barycentric coordinates (pp : qq : rr),  (PP : QQ : RR)
then their intersections are
S = ( (Qr-qR)^2 : (Rp-rP)^2 : (Pq-pQ)^2 )
A'= ( (Qr-qR)^2 : (Rp+rP)^2 : (Pq+pQ)^2 )
B'= ( (Qr+qR)^2 : (Rp-rP)^2 : (Pq+pQ)^2 )
C'= ( (Qr+qR)^2 : (Rp+rP)^2 : (Pq-pQ)^2 )
and the triangles ABC, A'B'C' are perspective at
X = ( (Qr+qR)^2 : (Rp+rP)^2 : (Pq+pQ)^2 )

Yes, it is a particular case of S-triangles.

Two triangles ABC and A'B'C' inscribed in the same circle are S-triangles iff
arc(AA')+arc(BB')+arc(CC')=0 (mod 2PI).
The Simson lines of A',B',C', with respect to ABC and  the Simson lines of
A,B,C, with respect to A'B'C' are concurrent in the midpoint of [HH'] where H
and H' are the orthocenters of ABC and A'B'C'.

The triangles CAB and CPQ are S-triangles iff PQ is parallel to AB.
So, the Simson lines of P,Q, and C are concurrent. But the Simson line of C is
the altitude from C.

Dear Daniel,
Very good observation and proof.
So we can generalize Alexey's problem
as follows:
If L is a line and S is the isogonal conjugate
of its infinite point and the chord PQ of the
circumcircle of ABC is parallel to L then the
triangles ABC, SPQ are S-triangles.
Hence the Simson lines of P, Q relative to ABC
meet at M' midpoint of HH'. The locus of H' orthocenter
of SPQ is the perpendicular line from S to L.
Hence the locus of M' is the perpendicular line
from the midpoint M of HS to L.

If L is parallel to BC then S=A, M=H.

Nikos Dergiades

An easier proof would be to just recall that the Simson line bisects the segment
determined by the orthocenter of the triangle and the point, thus if we let X, Y
be the midpoints of HP and HQ (where H is the orthocenter of ABC), the result
follows at once by Desargues' theorem applied to triangles PXM, QYN, where M, N
are the projections of P, Q on AB.

Best,
Cosmin

A routine calculation using complex numbers as coordinates gives
the following:   If A,B,C,D,E are on the unit circle, then the Simson
lines of D and of E (wrt ABC) meet at (A+B+C+D+E+ABC/(DE))/2
 
This formula is simpler than expected, even though it was known
in advance that it had to have some symmetry and scaling properties.
And the S-triangle result follows easily from this.

Dear Daniel, Nikos, Cosmin and Barry!
Yes, I also found these general facts. Thank you for the references. Also the
envelop of Simson lines is the astroid and its center coincides with the center
of NPC. And what is the locus of point P such that the circumcevian triangle of
P is S-triangle? It is clear that this is some cubic, but which?

Dear Friends,

I noticed there are all kind of centers, lines, conics, cubics, etc. in a
Complete Quadrilateral/Complete Quadrangle.
So I started writing a paper on this subject.
Because I discovered so many new items I decided to make a catalogue of them.
More than 150 items are catalogued now.
I gave them all a unique code and name.
* Jean-Louis'  Euler-Poncelet Point (Hyacinthos message  19258) is coded with
QA-P2.
* Jean-Pierre's Homothetic Center (Hyacinthos message 19635) is coded with
QA-P4.
* Apart from the well-known quadrangle centroid QA-P1 there is also a
quadrilateral centroid QL-P12.
I placed them all at my site with references where I found them.
I also found many new items. These you will find without reference.
When there are more references please let me know.

You can find this Encyclopedia of Quadri-Figures (EQF) at:
http://www.chrisvantienhoven.nl/mathematics/encyclopedia.html

The results also can be downloaded in PDF-format at:
http://www.chrisvantienhoven.nl/7-mathematics/191-downloads-eqf.html

Special thanks for Eckart Schmidt who painstakingly checked all items and helped
me to eliminate several typos and mistakes and gave me lots of good advice. We
had a very nice conversation alternately in German and English.

When you know about other Quadrangle/Quadrilateral items please let me know.

Dear Hyacinthists,

Barycentric coordinates are used in respect of a triangle ABC. Let P=(u:v:w) be
a point not on a sideline of ABC and let d=(p:q:r) be a line other than the side
lines of ABC. The P-isoconjugate of d is the line

       d'=(qrv^2w^2:rpw^2u^2:pqu^2v^2).

Let PaPbPc be the cevian triangle of P; let D, E, F be the points where d meets
the sidelines BC, CA, AB; let D', E', F' be the points where d' meets the
sidelines BC, CA, AB, then we have the following relations between the
cross-ratios:

     (B C P_a D)=(C B P_a D'),
     (C A P_b E)=(A C P_b E'),
     (A B P_c F)=(B A P_c F').

The isogonal conjugate of d is the X(1)-isoconjugate of d: The lines AD and AD'
are symmetric with respect to the bisector of angle A.

The isotomic conjugate of d is the X(2)-isoconjugate of d: The points D and D'
are symmetric with respect to the midpoints of the side B$.



If the lines d and d' are P-isoconjugate and perpendicular, then the point of
intersection of d and d' is on bicevian conic C(P,H), where H is the orthocenter
of ABC.



   Let Q be a point not on a sideline of ABC. Let d be a line through Q and d'
its P-isoconjugate, then as d varies the locus of the point of intersection of d
and d' is a cubic L(P,Q) through Q (which are double) and vertices of cevian
triangle of P and Q . There are three pairs of P-isoconjugate and perpendicular
lines (d,d') which intersec in the three points of intersection (other than
Pa,Pb and Pc) of C(P,H) and L(P,Q).

   Consider now the point Q on the bicevian conic C(P,H), we denote the point of
intersection (other than Pa, Pb, Pc and Q) of the C(P,H) and L(P,Q) by S[P,Q].
We call this the "sixth intersection" of the bicevian conic C(P,H) with the
cubic L(P,Q).
The line d_1 passing through Q and S[P,Q] is perpendicular to its
P-isoconjugate line d'_1 , and the point of intersection of d_1 and d'_1 is
S[P,Q]. Let Q' be the second point of intersection of d'_1 with C(P,H) then
S[P,Q]=S[P,Q'].
The tangents d_2 and d_3 in Q to L(P,Q) are perpendicular and
P-isonconjugate to each other.


GeoGebra Construction:
http://webpages.ull.es/users/amontes/geogebra/ConjugateAndPerpendicularLinesH.ht\

====================================================
Someone could suggest a construction of "sixth intersection S[P,Q]" of the
bicevian conic C(P,H) with the cubic L(P,Q), if the point Q is  on C(P,H).

Like Quang Tuan Bui mentioned, all the circles in the message except O1,O2 are
well-known. So here are the proofs for O1,O2.
Its well-known that if V is the center of the rectangular hyperbola l passing
through A,B,C,P, then V is the concurrency point of all the other circles.
I will use the following lemma to prove the problem:-
If the circumcircle of a triangle XYZ passes through V, then the circumcircle of
the triangle formed by the polars of X,Y,Z wrt l passes through V.
It can be easily proved by simple angle-chasing. So I am not adding its proof
here.
Now note that, if A',B',C' are the feet pf the perpendiculars from P to
BC,CA,AB, then AbBa is the polar of C' wrt l and similar for others. So using
the lemma we get that O1 passes through V.
If U is the foot of the perpendicular from B to AP, then note that C'U is the
pole of Ab wrt l. Similarly, if W is the foot of the perpendicular from C to AP,
then B'W is the pole off Ac wrt l. So intersection point of C'U and B'W is the
pole of AbAc. But note that, it lies on the circumcirle of of A'B'C'. So the
circumcircle of the triangle formed by the poles of AbAc,BcBa,CaCb is same as
the circumcircle of A'B'C'. So using the lemma we get that O2 passes through V.

There are many volumes of Mathesis and Mathematical Questions from the
Educational times at The Internet Archive http://archive.org/ and on Google
books, but unfortunately not the volumes you want.
I have an odd volume of the Education Times for 1891, but again not of much
help.

It's always worth looking for journals (and books) at the DML Digital
Mathematics Library at
http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~rehmann/DML/dml_links.html
but this has no links at all for any of the journals you want

The internet archive has good runs of
*Nouvelles annales de matheÌmatiques,* *Journal de mathématiques
élémentaires [et spéciales] *before de Longchamps split it

In the 1894 edition of the latter  (p 162) there is a theorem by Noyer
giving a ref to the separate spéciales of 1893 but to page 44

If you really get nowhere, I could probably get the Mathesis and
Mathematical Questions from the Educational times refs from The British
Library

Dear Friends,

I got some very nice remarks following my announcement of the Encyclopedia of
Quadri-Figures.
Seiichi Kirikami attended me on a special property of a Complete Quadrangle.
The Orthopoles of a line with respect to the four component triangles of any
complete quadrangle lie on a straight line known as the Orthopolar Line of for
the given complete quadrangle (see also "Orthopolar line" in Mathworld).
Definition Orthopole of a random line wrt some Triangle:
If perpendiculars are dropped on any line from the vertices of a triangle, then
the perpendiculars to the opposite sides from their perpendicular feet are
concurrent at a point called the Orthopole (see also "Orthopole" in Mathworld).

I tried some things with the Orthopolar Line and found these results:
1. The 4 Orthopoles of a line wrt the Component Triangles in a Complete
Quadrangle are collinear. Let's name this the QA-Orthopole Line.
2. The 4 Orthopoles of a line wrt the Component Triangles in a Complete
Quadrilateral are also collinear. Let's name this the QL-Orthopole Line.
3. Every QA-Orthopole Line of a line through QA-P4 (Isogonal Center) is a line
through QA-P2 (Euler-Poncelet Point).
It looks like this is the only case that a pencil of lines through a point is
being transformed into another pencil through a point.
The locus of their mutual crosspoint is a hyperbola through QA-P2 and QA-P4.
Its conic center is the midpoint of QA-P2 and QA-P4.
Both lines are parallel when they are parallel to the asymptotes of this
hyperbola.
4. A QL-Orthopole Line is always a line perpendicular to the Newton Line
(QL-L1). Most Special.

I refer here to some points as coded in the Encyclopedia of Quadri-Figures:
http://www.chrisvantienhoven.nl/mathematics/encyclopedia.html

Are there any (synthetic) proofs for 1., 2., 3. and 4. ?
Are there any more related properties known?

Best regards,

Chris van Tienhoven

inequality, Rouché's inequality (also called ``the fundamental triangle
inequality"), Finsler - Hadwiger's inequality, isoperimetric inequality and
others.

I have found your reference to Noyer, p 39 of Journal de mathématiques
spéciales 1893

the web link at the Internet archive is
http://archive.org/details/journaldemathma22unkngoog

The Internet archive catalogue is poor. There are a mixture of journals
which are all indexed as
Journal de mathématiques élémentaires
The trick is to search for "Journal de mathématiques" using the advanced
search


The best way to download the PDF is not to do it from the list at the left
but to first choose read online
then at the top right choose the i symbol and you will get a list of
options from PDF to epub and Kindle

The title of the paper is "Sur les triangles autopolaires"

Noyer also has a paper on the theorem of Fregier on p 178
There are also 4 references to Droz Farny and he has a lot of solutions to
problems in other volumes.

Dear  Chris van Tienhoven,

I have a Quadrangle Center that is not currently in EQF.

Let P1, P2, P3, P4 be the defining Quadrangle Points.
Let S1 = P1.P4 /\ P2.P3, S2 = P1.P3 /\ P2.P4 and S3 = P1.P2/\ P3.P4.
Now S1 S2 S3 is the QA-Diagonal Triangle of the Reference Quadrangle.


For each vertex Pi, we take the triangle TjTkTl, where Tj the
intersection of  the sidelinea PkPl with circumcircle of the triangle S1S2S3
(other than S1, S2, S3)
Qi = Perspector of the triangle PjPkPl and TjTkTl

The "unknown" Quadrangle Center is the common intersection point of lines Pi.Qi

1st CT-Coordinate:

p(q+r)(p+2q+r)^2(p+q+2r)^2
   ((1/(p+2q+r)^2)((p+r)(-c^4(p+r)^2(q+r)^2+
        (p+q)^2(a^4(p+r)^2+b^4(q+r)^2))
        ((q+r)^2(2p+q+r)^2SA+(p+r)^2(p+2q+r)^2SB+
        (p-q)^2(p+q)^2SC))+
    (1/(p+q+2r)^2)((p+q)(c^4(p+r)^2(q+r)^2+(p+q)^2(a^4(p+r)^2-
          b^4(q+r)^2))((q+r)^2(2p+q+r)^2SA+
         (p-r)^2(p+r)^2SB+(p+q)^2(p+q+2r)^2SC)))

1st DT-Coordinate:  a^2(c^4p^2q^2 + (b^4p^2 - a^4q^2)r^2)



Construction GeoGebra:

  http://amontes.webs.ull.es/geogebra/EQF_QA_Pn.html



If ABC is the diagonal  triangle of the Quadrangle with a vertex in triangle
center X(n), Then the Quadriangle Center obtained here is the TCC-perspector of
X(n). See the note just before X(1601) in ETC.
