    Steiner Circumellipse

    Alternate name
    Definition

    The Steiner circumellipse is the circumellipse that is the isotomic conjugate of the line at infinity and the isogonal conjugate of the Lemoine axis. It has circumconic parameters x:y:z = 1/a :1/b :1/c, giving trilinear equation 1/(a α) + 1/(b β) + 1/(c γ) = 0 (Vandeghen 1965; Kimberling 1998, p. 236). The Steiner circumellipse is often simply called the "Steiner ellipse, " but the designation "circumellipse" is useful to distinguish it from the less important curve known as the Steiner inellipse.
