The Monge point of a simplex (in 2 or more dimensions) is a generalization of the orthocenter of a triangle. It is defined to be the intersection of the Monge planes, where a Monge plane is the (n-1)-dimensional affine subspace of the subspace spanned by the simplex that passes through the centroid of an (n-2)-dimensional face and is orthogonal to the opposite edge (in 2 dimensions, this is the same as an altitude). The circumcenter O, centroid G and Monge point M are collinear in that order on the Euler line, with OG : GM = (n-1) : 2. Here, we use that ratio to define the Monge point (so resulting in a point that equals the centroid in 0 or 1 dimensions), and then show in subsequent lemmas that the point so defined lies in the Monge planes and is their unique point of intersection.

Equations

@[protected, instance]

An altitude is finite-dimensional.

@[simp]

An altitude is one-dimensional (i.e., a line).

A line through a vertex is the altitude through that vertex if and only if it is orthogonal to the opposite face.

The orthocenter of a triangle is the intersection of its altitudes. It is defined here as the 2-dimensional case of the Monge point.

Suppose we are given a triangle t₁, and replace one of its vertices by its orthocenter, yielding triangle t₂ (with vertices not necessarily listed in the same order). Then an altitude of t₂ from a vertex that was not replaced is the corresponding side of t₁.

This is an auxiliary lemma giving information about the relation of two triangles in an orthocentric system; it abstracts some reasoning, with no geometric content, that is common to some other lemmas. Suppose the orthocentric system is generated by triangle t, and we are given three points p in the orthocentric system. Then either we can find indices i₁, i₂ and i₃ for p such that p i₁ is the orthocenter of t and p i₂ and p i₃ are points j₂ and j₃ of t, or p has the same points as t.

For any three points in an orthocentric system generated by triangle t, there is a point in the subspace spanned by the triangle from which the distance of all those three points equals the circumradius.

Any three points in an orthocentric system are affinely independent.

Any three points in an orthocentric system span the same subspace as the whole orthocentric system.

All triangles in an orthocentric system have the same circumradius.

Given any triangle in an orthocentric system, the fourth point is its orthocenter.
