Solving Euler’s Triangle Problems with Poncelet’s Pencil
We determine the unique triangle given its orthocenter, circumcenter and another particular triangle point. The main technique is to realize the triangle as special intersection points of the circumcircle and a rectangular hyperbola in Poncelet’s pencil.
متن کاملOn Poncelet's maps
Given two ellipses, one surrounding the other one, Poncelet introduced a map P from the exterior one to itself by using the tangent lines to the interior ellipse. This procedure can be extended to any two smooth, nested and convex ovals and we call this type of maps Poncelet’s maps. We recall what he proved around 1814 in the dynamical systems language: In the two ellipses case and when the rot...
متن کاملPoncelet’s theorem and Billiard knots
Let D be any elliptic right cylinder. We prove that every type of knot can be realized as the trajectory of a ball in D. This proves a conjecture of Lamm and gives a new proof of a conjecture of Jones and Przytycki. We use Jacobi’s proof of Poncelet’s theorem by means of elliptic functions. keywords: Poncelet’s theorem, Jacobian elliptic functions, Billiard knots , Lissajous knots, Cylinder kno...
متن کاملPencil Light Transport
Global illumination is an important area of computer graphics, having direct applications in architectural visualization, lighting design and entertainment. Indirect illumination effects such as soft shadows, color bleeding, caustics and glossy reflections provide essential visual information about the interaction of different regions of the environment. Global illumination is a research area t...
متن کاملGPR Image Decluttering Using Matrix Pencil Based Trace Filtering Method
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurements can suffer from large amount of noise and clutter. Current methods, such as time gating and background averaging, mostly applied to remove reflections from air-ground interface do not perform well when removal of extraneous, very strong and non-uniform clutter signals originating from the objects in the surveyed area other than the target is needed. T...
