A generalization of the Apollonius problemGreg Fee, SFU
Abstract: The Apollonius problem is to find all circles touching 3 given circles. There can be a maximum of 8 such circles if the 3 given circles are not all tangent at one point. We generalize to find all circles touching 3 given ellipses. There can be more than 8 circles in the generalized problem. |
