If a is a point in the open unit disk, then the Blaschke factor is defined by B_a(z)=(z-a)/(1-a^_z), where a^_ is the complex conjugate of a. Blaschke factors allow the ...

A triangle DeltaA^'B^'C^' is said to be circumscribed in a triangle DeltaABC if A lies on B^'C^', B lies on C^'A^', and C lies on A^'B^' (Kimberling 1998, p. 185). Examples ...
