The conditions for a cuspidal edge, swallowtail and other fundamental singularities are given in the context of Lie sphere geometry. We then use these conditions to study the Lie sphere transformations of a surface.
We investigate geometric invariants of cuspidal edges on focal surfaces of regular surface. In particular, we shall clarify the sign of the singular curvature at a cuspidal edge on a focal surface using singularities of parallel surface of…
We introduce the notion of curvature parameters for singular plane curves with finite multiplicities and define the notion of curvatures for them. We then provide criteria to determine their singularity types for A-simple singularities. As…
