I solved this for 2 small circles with r=1 and . a parabola y=ax^2 . a circle x^2 +(y−r)^2 =r^2 . an ellipse (x^2 /a^2 )+(((y−b)^2 )/b^2 )=1 [this one is tricky, will post soon] will also try for a hyperbola

(r/(R−r))=((√((R+r)^2 −(R−r)^2 ))/(R+r))=((2(√(Rr)))/(R+r)) λ=(r/R) ⇒(λ/(1−λ))=((2(√λ))/(1+λ)) ⇒λ(1+λ)=2(1−λ)(√λ) ⇒λ^2 (1+λ)^2 =4λ(1−λ)^2 ⇒λ(1+λ)^2 =4(1−λ)^2 ⇒λ^3 +2λ^2 +λ=4λ^2 −8λ+4 ⇒λ^3 −2λ^2 +9λ−4=0 ⇒λ=0.48389

$$\frac{{r}}{{R}−{r}}=\frac{\sqrt{\left({R}+{r}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({R}−{r}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }}{{R}+{r}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{{Rr}}}{{R}+{r}} \\ $$$$\lambda=\frac{{r}}{{R}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\lambda}{\mathrm{1}−\lambda}=\frac{\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\lambda}}{\mathrm{1}+\lambda} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda\left(\mathrm{1}+\lambda\right)=\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{1}−\lambda\right)\sqrt{\lambda} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{1}+\lambda\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}\lambda\left(\mathrm{1}−\lambda\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda\left(\mathrm{1}+\lambda\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{4}\left(\mathrm{1}−\lambda\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{2}\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} +\lambda=\mathrm{4}\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{8}\lambda+\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{2}\lambda^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{9}\lambda−\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lambda=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{48389} \\ $$

((BD)/(BC))=((AE)/(AC)) ⇒(r/(R−r))=((√((R+r)^2 −(R−r)^2 ))/(R+r))

$$\frac{{BD}}{{BC}}=\frac{{AE}}{{AC}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{{r}}{{R}−{r}}=\frac{\sqrt{\left({R}+{r}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({R}−{r}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }}{{R}+{r}} \\ $$

cos ∠DBC = cos θ =((DB)/(BC))= (r/(R−r)) sin ∠CAE = sin θ = ((CE)/(CA)) = ((R−r)/(R+r)) hence ((r/(R−r)))^2 + (((R−r)/(R+r)))^2 =1 let x=(r/R) ⇒ ((x/(1−x)))^2 + (((1−x)/(1+x)))^2 = 1 ⇒ x^2 (1+x)^2 + (1−x)^4 = (1−x^2 )^2 x^4 +2x^3 +x^2 +1+x^4 −4x+6x^2 −4x^3 = 1+x^4 −2x^2 ⇒ x^4 −2x^3 +9x^2 −4x = 0 if x≠0, x^3 −2x^2 +9x−4 = 0

$$\mathrm{cos}\:\angle{DBC}\:=\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:=\frac{{DB}}{{BC}}=\:\frac{{r}}{{R}−{r}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}\:\angle{CAE}\:=\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\:=\:\frac{{CE}}{{CA}}\:=\:\frac{{R}−{r}}{{R}+{r}} \\ $$$${hence}\:\:\:\:\left(\frac{{r}}{{R}−{r}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\:\left(\frac{{R}−{r}}{{R}+{r}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${let}\:\:{x}=\frac{{r}}{{R}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\left(\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{1}−{x}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}−{x}}{\mathrm{1}+{x}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{1}+{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{4}} \:=\:\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{4}} +\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\mathrm{1}+{x}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{6}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\:\mathrm{1}+{x}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{9}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${if}\:\:{x}\neq\mathrm{0}, \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{9}{x}−\mathrm{4}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$

me too. I′ve been trying with an ellipse instead of the big circle, it seems very hard... not sure if it′s possible to solve.
