| contents | We prove existence of three unique ``max-exparabolas'' to a triangle. Each of these parabolas is internally tangent to one edge and the two other sides. Among all like parabolas, it is characterized by having maximal parameter. We use this result to prove a more general uniqueness statement on maximal parabolas in a convex point set. In similar spirit, we demonstrate uniqueness of minimal enclosing horocycles in hyperbolic geometry, provided the enclosed set is sufficiently small. |
