Congruent Incircles Point


The triangulation point Y of a reference triangle DeltaABC for which triangles DeltaBYC, DeltaCYA, and DeltaAYB have congruent incircles. It is a special case of an Elkies point. Kimberling and Elkies (1987) showed that a unique such point exists for any triangle, but did not provide explicit constructions for this point.
