Longuet-Higgins Circle


LonguetHigginsPoint

The Longuet-Higgins circle is the radical circle of the circles centered at the vertices A, B, and C of a reference triangle with respective radii b+c, c+a, and a+b. Its center is called the Longuet-Higgins point and is Kimberling center X_(962). It has radius

 R_(LH)=sqrt(16R^2-(a+b+c)^2),

where R is the circumradius of the reference triangle, and circle function

 l=-((b+c)^2)/(bc),

which corresponds to Kimberling center X_(1500).
