The lines connecting the vertices and corresponding circle-circle intersections in Malfatti's Tangent Triangle
Problem coincide in a point called the first Ajima-Malfatti point (Kimberling and MacDonald 1990, Kimberling 1994).
Similarly, letting
,
, and
be the excenters of
, then the lines
,
, and
are coincident in another point called the second Ajima-Malfatti point. The points are sometimes simply called the
Malfatti Points (Kimberling 1994).
