Abstract
The perfect circles and the amicable triangles are the structures based on any reference triangle ABC. Main part of these structures was presented in Montreal during the ICGG 2012. The perfect circles in the triangle ABC are the family of circles beginning at the Fermat-point (rx = 0), coming through the incircle (rx = r) and ending on the circumcircle (rx = R). The centers of these circles lie on the locus (called here as μ-curve), which is continuous and differentiable. The function of μ-curve is up to the present day unknown, however the mentioned family of the circles has many interesting properties, which could help to find the sought function in the future. The M-points are existent in real only for rx ≤ r. The Soddy-, Eppstein-, Griffith- and Rigby-points have been defined only for the incircle. The perfect circles allowed to generalize them for 0 ≤ rx ≤ R. The both M-points (Mi and Mo) are the centers of the circles coming through the intersections of three vertical circles. These circles are for rx = r (Soddy circles) tangent (on the sides a, b and c of the triangle ABC) and for rx ≤ r intersect mutually at 6 points (3 inner- and 3 outer-intersections). The circle coming through the inner-intersections will be called Mi-circle and the outer – Mo-circle. The both centers of these circles are so Mi-center and Mo-center. They have many very interesting properties similar to the points, which also lie on the generalized Soddy-line. There appear two new circles, pedal points, their mutual relations and proportions. We also managed to define several derived points, including the vertices of two so-called “square root angles” and a point with a maximum value of a certain proportion.
