摘要
A point P in the plane of triangle ABC is said to be an isoperimetric point if PA + PB + AB = PB+ PC+ BC = PC+ PA+ CA, and is said to be a point of equal detour if PA+ PB-AB = PB+ PC-BC = PC + PA - CA. Incorrect conditions for the existence and uniqueness of such points were given by G. R. Veldkamp in Amer. Math. Monthly 92 (1985) 546-558. In this paper, we use a much simpler approach that yields correct versions of these conditions and that exhibits the relations of these points to the centers of the Soddy circles.
