A generalization of the circumcircle theorem
Let ABC be a triangle and \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(\gamma\) positive real numbers with \(\alpha \geq \beta \geq \gamma >0\). The points X, Y, Z with \[ AX:BX=\alpha:\beta,\quad BY:CY=\beta:\gamma,\quad CZ:AZ=\gamma:\alpha \] form three Apollonian circles. If two of them intersect in a real point P (one or two), then P is on the third circle too. P is called a triple point. Let \(AB=c\), \(BC=a\), \(CA=b\). By a long calculation the authors obtain the following existence criterion. The above mentioned intersection points P are real iff the positive numbers \(a\alpha\), \(b\beta\) and \(c\gamma\) are the side lengths of a triangle, possibly degenerate. The authors mention connections with Delaunay tesselations and applications in biological sciences. It is a pity that they did not explain this in more detail such that a pure geometer could understand it.
