Let 
 be trilinear points for 
, 2, 3. The 
-vertex of the unary cofactor triangle is then defined as the
 point
and the -vertex
 and 
-vertex
 are defined cyclically.
The following table summarizes the unary cofactor triangles for common named triangles.
The vertices are the isogonal conjugates of the vertices of the line-polar triangle of the points .
If 
 is a triangle and 
 is its unary cofactor triangle, then 
, and 
 and 
 are perspective,
 with the perspector being known as the eigencenter.
A triangle is perspective to  iff its unary cofactor triangle
 is perspective to 
. Also, triangle 
 circumscribes triangle 
 iff 
 circumscribes 
 (Kimberling and van Lamoen 1999).
