COMMENTS
Any quadrilateral whose side lengths form an arithmetic progression is ex-tangential. Consequently such an ex-tangential quadrilateral can be configured to be cyclic as well, resulting in an ex-bicentric quadrilateral. Fuss's theorem for ex-bicentric quadrilaterals defines the distance between the circumcenter and the excenter. If the ratio of the sides of this quadrilateral is 1 : 1+d : 1+2d : 1+3d, then there is a minimum distance between these two centers at some value for d.

FORMULA
Area K=Sqrt[(1+d)(1+2d)(1+3d)], Exradius r=K/|2d|, Circumradius R=Sqrt[((1+d)+(1+2d)(1+3d))*((1+2d)+(1+d)(1+3d))*((1+3d)+(1+d)(1+2d))]/(4K) and the distance between the circumcenter and the excenter is given by Fuss's theorem x=Sqrt[R^2+r^2+r*Sqrt[4R^2+r^2]]. Constant C = minimum value for x.
EXAMPLE
The minimum value C=0.8104102806967582... when d=-0.3095759507409512...
