    An Extension of Descartes Circle Theorem in Non-Euclidean Spaces

    • In this paper we have proved that if n+2 spheres in n-dimensional spaces with constant curvature K touch each other externally and if k1,k2,……kn+2 denote their principle curvatures, then the following relationhold.
      (???19880202???ki)2-n???19880202???ki2=2nK
      When K=0 and n=2, We get the original form of Descartes circle theorem.
