Dividing a circle into areas lines (there are two points on one side and one on the other). So the recurrence can be expressed as which can be easily reduced to using the sums of the first formula_3 natural numbers and the first formula_3 squares, this combines to Finally which yields The lemma asserts that the number of regions is maximal if all "inner" intersections of chords are simple (exactly two chords pass through each point of intersection in the interior). This will be the case if the points on the circle are chosen "in general position". Under this assumption of "generic intersection", the number
GEOS circle intersection of the Soddy line and the orthic axis). The "X"("i") point notation is the Clark Kimberling ETC classification of triangle centers. GEOS circle In geometry, the GEOS circle is derived from the intersection of four lines that are associated with a generalized triangle: the Euler line, the Soddy line, the orthic axis and the Gergonne line. Note that the Euler line is orthogonal to the orthic axis and that the Soddy line is orthogonal to the Gergonne line. These four lines provide six points of intersection of which two points occur at line intersections that are orthogonal. Consequently, the
