Equal Aperture Angles Curve for some Convex Sets in the Plane

Metric Geometry 2012-06-22 v1 Computational Geometry Numerical Analysis

Abstract

For given convex set KK in the plane (not necessarily bounded), we can construct the curve CC for which the visibility (aperture) angle of this set has the same, prescribed value. We give the implicit formula for CC, discuss some issues concerning practical computations of CC and bring several simple examples, when the equal visibility angle curves can be effectively computed explicitly. We conclude with some remarks about possible directions for further research in this area. Extensive use of Open Source software (Sage, Pylab, IPython,...) is a key feature of this article.
