چکیده

A simple proof is presented of a famous, and difficult, theorem by Jakob Steiner. By means of a straightforward transformation of the triangle, the proof of the theorem is reduced to the case of the equilateral triangle. Several relations of the Steiner deltoid with the Feuerbach circle and the Morley triangle appear then as obvious. La envolvente de las rectas de Wallace-Simson de un triángulo. Una demostración sencilla del teorema de Steiner sobre la deltoide. Resumen. Se presenta una demostración sencilla de un teorema famoso, y difı́cil, de Jakob Steiner. Mediante una transformacin muy directa del triángulo, la demostración del teorema se reduce al caso del triángulo equilátero. Diversas relaciones de la deltoide de Steiner con la circunferencia de Feuerbach y con el triángulo de Morley aparecen entonces como obvias.

A Family of Quartics Associated with a Triangle

It is known [1, p.115] that the envelope of the family of pedal lines (Simson or Wallace lines) of a triangle ABC is Steiner’s deltoid, a three-cusped hypocycloid that is concentric with the nine-point circle of ABC and touches it at three points. Also known [2, p.249] is that the nine-point circle is the locus of the intersection point of two perpendicular pedal lines. This paper considers a g...

Properties of the Simson–Wallace locus applied on a skew quadrilateral

Let K,L,M be orthogonal projections of a point P onto the sides of a triangle ABC. Then the locus of P such that K,L,M are collinear, is the circumcircle of ABC. This theorem has several generalizations [4], [5], [10],[6], [7], [9]. A generalization of the Simson–Wallace theorem which is by [2] ascribed to J. D. Gergonne is as follows: Let K,L,M be orthogonal projections of a point P onto the s...

On Tychonoff's type theorem via grills

‎Let ${X_{alpha}:alphainLambda}$ be a collection of topological spaces‎, ‎and $mathcal {G}_{alpha}$ be a grill on $X_{alpha}$ for each $alphainLambda$‎. ‎We consider Tychonoffrq{}s type Theorem for $X=prod_{alphainLambda}X_{alpha}$ via the above grills and a natural grill on $X$ ‎related to these grills, and present a simple proof to this theorem‎. ‎This immediately yields the classical theorem...

A new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity

To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...

The Basic Theorem and its Consequences

Let T be a compact Hausdorff topological space and let M denote an n–dimensional subspace of the space C(T ), the space of real–valued continuous functions on T and let the space be equipped with the uniform norm. Zukhovitskii [7] attributes the Basic Theorem to E.Ya.Remez and gives a proof by duality. He also gives a proof due to Shnirel’man, which uses Helly’s Theorem, now the paper obtains a...
