Exeter Point


ExeterPoint

Define A^' to be the point (other than the polygon vertex A) where the triangle median through A meets the circumcircle of ABC, and define B^' and C^' similarly. Then the Exeter point is the perspector of the triangle A^'B^'C^' and the tangential triangle. It has triangle center function

 alpha=a(b^4+c^4-a^4)

and is Kimberling center X_(22).
