In the authors' definition the distance of the Apollonius point from each vertex of a triangle multiplied by the length of the side opposite to that vertex is the same for all three vertices. They offer a proof that among the functions nonconstant and meromorphic on the whole open complex plane exactly the Möbius (linear rational) functions preserve the Apollonius point of every nondegenerate triangle in the plane.
