Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study some properties of secantoptics, defined in [8]. We show that any evolutoid of a given oval $C$ is a hedgehog and that any secantoptic of an oval $C$, is an isoptic of a pair of required evolutoids. We prove some Crofton-type formulas for secantoptics and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a secantoptic to be convex.
