Hyperbolic cosines and sines theorems for the triangle formed by intersection of three semicircles on Euclidean plane

Abstract

The purpose the present paper is to construct the hyperbolic trigonometry on Euclidean plane without refereing to hyperbolic plane. In this paper we show that the concept of hyperbolic angle and its functions forming the hyperbolic trigonometry give arise on Euclidean plane in a natural way. The method is based on a key- formula establishing a relationship between exponential function and the ratio of two segments. This formula opens a straightforward pathway to hyperbolic trigonometry on the Euclidean plane. The hyperbolic law of cosines I and II and the hyperbolic law of sines are derived by using of the key-formula and the methods of Euclidean Geometry, only. It is shown that these laws are consequences of the interrelations between distances and radii of the intersecting semi-circles.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
