I recently "stumbled upon" the article Pedal coordinates, Dark Kepler and other force problems by Petr Blaschke from 2017; further search about Pedal Coordinates didn't bring up any other relevant online resources; from the references on Wolfram Mathworld I get the impression, that the topic hasn't been the subject and/or means of mathematical research for some decades.

Questions:

• where, except in the cited article by Petr Blaschke, have Pedal Coordinates played an important role in recent mathematical publications

• have there been attempts to generalize Pedal Coordinates to higher dimensions and/or other numbers besides the reals like e.g. complex numbers
