Iterative geometric triangle transformations (Q442467)

In this paper, a triangle \(A_0B_0C_0\) is transformed recursively. We get the triangle \(A_{n+1}B_{n+1}C_{n+1}\) from the triangle \(A_nB_nC_n\) by the construction that \(A_n C_nB_{n+1}\), \(B_nA_nC_{n+1}\), \(C_nB_nA_{n+1}\) are isosceles triangles \((A_nB_{n+1}= C_n B_{n+1},\dots)\) erected externally on the sides of \(A_nB_nC_n\). The authors investigate the infinite sequence of these triangles in the following two cases. The isosceles triangles are similar. In this case they give another method as in [\textit{D. Vartziotis} and \textit{J. Wipper}, Math. Pannonica 20, No. 2, 167--187 (2009; Zbl 1240.51010)]. In the second case, \(B_{n+1}\) and \(A_{n+1}\) are vertices of similar triangles and \(A_{n+1}\) is the midpoint of \(B_nC_n\).
