    0 references
    The author deals with a slight variation of Napoleon's theorem. More precisely, she shows that, for a given \(d\), the spaces of triangles (modulo orientation preserving isometry) under this map has a fixed point (an equilateral triangle whose side length can be written down explicitly in terms of \(d\)), and furthermore, that this fixed point is attracting.
