We describe some three-dozen curious phenomena manifested by parabolas inscribed or circumscribed about certain Poncelet triangle families. Despite their pirouetting motion, parabolas' focus, vertex, directrix, etc., will often sweep or envelop rather elementary loci such as lines, circles, or points. Most phenomena are unproven though supported by solid numerical evidence (proofs are welcome). Some yet unrealized experiments are posed as "challenges" (results are welcome!).
翻译:我们描述一些三分之三的奇特现象,这些奇特现象表现在对庞斯莱三角家族的刻画或限制上。 尽管它们有旋转动作、抛光花的焦点、脊椎、直线等等,但它们往往会扫荡或嵌入诸如线条、圆圈或点等相当基本的地方。 大部分现象虽然有可靠的数字证据(证据值得欢迎 ), 但却没有证实。 有些尚未实现的实验是“挑战 ” ( 成果值得欢迎! ) 。
