The Gergonne point generalized through convex coordinates (Q1301936)

Let \(I\) be the incentre of a triangle \(\Delta V_1V_2V_3\) (in the Euclidean plane) and let \(D(I)\) be a circle concentric with the incircle \(C(I)\) of \(\Delta\). The lines drawn through \(I\) perpendicular to the sides of the triangle intersect the sides of \(\Delta V_1V_2V_3\) at \(A_1,A_2,A_3\), the points of tangency between the triangle and its incircle, and they intersect the circle \(D(I)\) at points \(B_1,B_2\), and \(B_3\). A problem posed by Koneĉný is to show that the cevians \(\overline {V_1B_1}\), \(\overline {V_2B_2}\), \(\overline {V_3B_3} \) are concurrent at some point \(H\) (``generalized Gergonne point''). The authors compute the ``convex'' (= barycentric) coordinates for \(H\). Besides, the computational path to their result makes it obvious that the cevians are concurrent.
