Sauda,c~oes,
Este problema reapareceu recentemente em uma outra lista
da qual faço parte.
Resposta definitiva:
Dear Luis and Ralf
If Cr is the circle O(R),
A, B are arbitrary points inside Cr
P is a point on Cr and Es is the ellipse with foci A, B that passes through P then
PA + PB is the shortest path if Es is inside Cr and
PA + PB is the longest path if Cr is inside Es.
This means in both cases that Cr is tangent to Es at P or
that the reflection of the line AP in OP is the line BP.
This is the Alhazen's circular billiard problem see FG 16 2012 pag. 193-196.
The points P are constructed as intersections of the Cr and a rectangular
hyperbola Hp as follows:
Let A', B' be the inverses of A, B in Cr,
H be the orthocenter of triangle OA'B',
O' be the symmetric of O relative to the mid point of A'B' then
the hyperbola Hp is the conic that passes through O, A', B', H, O'.
Best regards
Nikolaos Dergiades
