چکیده

The Apollonius Tenth Problem, as defined by Apollonius of Perga circa 200 B.C., has been useful for various applications in addition to its theoretical interest. Even though particular cases have been handled previously, a general framework for the problem has never been reported. Presented in this paper is a theory to handle the Apollonius Tenth Problem by characterizing the spatial relationship among given circles and the desired Apollonius circles. Hence, the given three circles in this paper do not make any assumption regarding on the sizes of circles and the intersection/inclusion relationship among them. The observations made provide an easy-to-code algorithm to compute any desired Apollonius circle which is computationally efficient and robust. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Another Solution of Apollonius Tenth Problem

We provide a new solution for the famous Apollonius Tenth Problem. The problem is to construct a circle tangent to three given circles in the plane. An equivalence between analytical and geometric approaches to the solution is explored. A new analytical solution for the problem is presented and a step by step geometrical interpretation of this solution is provided. We show that this interpretat...

A TAXICAB VERSION OF A TRIANGLE' S APOLLONIUS CIRCLE

One of the most famous problems of classical geometry is the Apollonius' problem asks construction of a circle which is tangent to three given objects. These objects are usually taken as points, lines, and circles. This well known problem was posed by Apollonius of Perga ( about 262 - 190 B.C.) who was a Greek mathematician known as the great geometer of ancient times after Euclid and Archimede...

Construction of Rational Curves with Rational Rotation-Minimizing Frames via Möbius Transformations

We show that Möbius transformations preserve the rotationminimizing frames which are associated with space curves. In addition, these transformations are known to preserve the class of rational Pythagorean-hodograph curves and also rational frames. Based on these observations we derive an algorithm for G Hermite interpolation by rational Pythagorean-hodograph curves with rational rotation-minim...

A ug 2 00 9 Properties of Möbius number systems Alexandr Kazda

Möbius number systems represent points using sequences of Möbius transformations. Thorough the paper, we are mainly interested in representing the unit circle (which is equivalent to representing R ∪ {∞}). The main aim of the paper is to improve already known tools for proving that a given subshift–iterative system pair is in fact a Möbius number system. We also study the existence problem: How...

Some properties of extended multiplier transformations to the classes of meromorphic multivalent functions

 In this paper, we introduce new classes $sum_{k,p,n}(alpha ,m,lambda ,l,rho )$ and $mathcal{T}_{k,p,n}(alpha ,m,lambda ,l,rho )$ of p-valent meromorphic functions defined by using the extended multiplier transformation operator. We use a strong convolution technique and derive inclusion results. A radius problem and some other interesting properties of these classes are discussed.
