The name "Kimberling center" is used in this work in honor of C. Kimberling for the triangle centers whose properties he has
extensively tabulated and enumerated (Kimberling 1994, 1998, and online), denoting
the th
center in his numbering scheme by
. 101 (plus 13 additional) centers
appeared in Kimberling (1994), 360 in Kimberling (1998), and the remainder appear
in a list maintained online by Kimberling at https://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/encyclopedia/ETC.html.
As of Oct. 29, 2026, Kimberling's compilation extends through
. A subset of these is illustrated above.
The first few Kimberling centers are summarized in the table below with their numbers, names, and trilinears.
