Napoleon-like Configurations and Sequences of Triangles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the sequences of triangles where each triangle is formed out of the apices of three similar triangles built on the sides of its predecessor. We show under what conditions such sequences converge in shape, or are periodic.

Infinite Regular Hexagon Sequences on a Triangle
The well-known dual pair of Napoleon equilateral triangles intrinsic to each triangle is extended to infinite sequences of them, shown to be special cases of infinite regular hexagon sequences on each triangle. A set of hexagon-to-hexagon transformations, the hex operators, is defined for this purpose, a set forming an abelian monoid under function composition. The sequences result from arbitra...
متن کاملOn the Optimality of Napoleon Triangles
An elementary geometric construction, known as Napoleon’s theorem, produces an equilateral triangle, obtained from equilateral triangles erected on the sides of any initial triangle: The centers of the three equilateral triangles erected on the sides of the arbitrarily given original triangle, all outward or all inward, are the vertices of the new equilateral triangle. In this note, we observe ...
متن کاملThree-component Distillation Columns Sequencing: Including Configurations with Divided-wall Columns
In the present work, the exergy analysis and economic study of 3 different samples of threecomponent mixtures have been investigated (ESI>1, ESI≈1, and ESI<1). The feed mixture has been tested under three different compositions (low, equal, and high contents of the intermediate component). A quantitative comparison between simple and complex configurations, considering thermally coupled, thermo...
متن کاملGeneralized Napoleon and Torricelli Transformations and Their Iterations
For given triangles T = (A,B,C) and D = (X, Y, Z), the D-Napoleon and D-Torricelli triangles ND(T ) and TD(T ) of a triangle T = (A,B,C) are the triangles A′B′C ′ and A∗B∗C∗, where ABC ′, BCA′, CAB′, A∗BC, AB∗C, ABC∗ are similar to D. In this paper it is shown that the iteration N n D(T ) either terminates or converges (in shape) to an equilateral triangle, and that the iteration T n D (T ) eit...
متن کاملOn the Euler Reflection Point
The Euler reflection point E of a triangle is known in literature as the common point of the reflections of its Euler line OH in each of its sidelines, where O and H are the circumcenter and the orthocenter of the triangle, respectively. In this note we prove that E lies on six circles associated with the triangles of Napoleon.
