A new Ceva-type theorem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2016
Extract
The classical theorems of Ceva and Menelaus make assertions about the value of certain products of ratios of lengths in configurations in the affine plane. We shall use the term Ceva-type to describe any result of this general kind: one that specifies a configuration in affine space of n dimensions, defined only by incidences, about which one can make an assertion about a product of ratios of lengths, areas, etc. Several results of this kind are known. Apart from the classical results there are, for example, Ceva's and Menelaus' Theorems for n-gons, Hoehn's Theorem for pentagrams [1], and the Selftransitivity Theorem of [2].
