Review text

The authors study several metrical relations connected with the three Lucas circles of a given triangle \(A_1A_2A_3\). A Lucas circle can be obtained as follows: Construct the square inscribed to \(A_1A_2A_3\) one of whose sides belongs to the line \(l(A_2A_3)\). Denote the endpoints of the opposite side of that square by \(B_1\) and \(C_1\). Then the first Lucas circle of \(A_1A_2A_3\) is the circumcircle of the triangle \(A_1B_1C_1\). Analogously, the other two Lucas circles are the circumcircles of the corresponding triangles \(A_2B_2C_2\) and \(A_3B_3C_3\).
