Two Magma functions are given: one computes linear systems of plane curves with non-ordinary singularities and the other computes a scheme which parametrizes given degree plane curves with given singularities. These functions provide an…
We study a particular plane curve over a finite field whose normalization is of genus 0. The number of rational points of this curve achieves the Aubry-Perret bound for rational curves. The configuration of its rational points and a…
We study ruled orders. These arise naturally in the Mori program for orders on projective surfaces and morally speaking are orders on a ruled surface ramified on a bisection and possibly some fibres. We describe fibres of a ruled order and…
In this article we introduce new affinely invariant points---`special parabolic points'---on the parabolic set of a generic surface $M$ in real 4-space, associated with symmetries in the 2-parameter family of reflexions of $M$ in points of…
At each point in an immersed surface in $\mathbb R^4$ there is a curvature ellipse in the normal plane which codifies all the local second order geometry of the surface. More recently, at the singular point of a corank 1 singular surface in…
We prove that if $N$ points lie in convex position in the plane then they determine $\Omega(N^{5/4})$ distinct angles, provided that the points do not lie on a common circle. This is derived from a more general claim that if $N$ points in…
A novel and deterministic algorithm is presented to detect whether two given rational plane curves are related by means of a similarity, which is a central question in Pattern Recognition. As a by-product it finds all such similarities, and…
We give an explicit formula for singular surfaces of revolution with prescribed unbounded mean curvature. Using it, we give conditions for singularities of that surfaces. Periodicity of that surface is also discussed.
We prove that, if \mu<\lfloor n/2\rfloor, then every rational plane curve of degree n and class \mu is a limit of parametrizations of the same degree and class \mu+1. This property was conjectured in D.Cox, T.Sederberg,F.Chen's paper: "The…
In the present paper, we study arrangements of smooth plane conics having only nodes and tacnodes as the singularities. We provide an interesting estimation on the number of nodes and tacnodes that depends only on a linear function of the…
This paper begins by extending the notion of a combinatorial configuration of points and lines to a combinatorial configuration of points and planes that we refer to as configurations of order $2$. We then proceed to investigate a further…
We investigated singular points of translation surfaces under the linearly independent condition. In this paper, as completion, we investigate singular points of translation surfaces under the linearly dependent condition, using the…
We show that a homology plane of general type has at worst a single cyclic quotient singular point. An example of such a surface with a singular point does exist. We also show that the automorphism group of a smooth contractible surface of…
Any $n$-tuple of points in the plane can be moved to any other $n$-tuple by a continuous motion with at most $\binom{n}{3}$ intermediate changes of the order type. Even for tuples with the same order type, the cubic bound is sharp: there…
A class of analytic planar 3-RPR manipulators is analyzed in this paper. These manipulators have congruent base and moving platforms and the moving platform is rotated of 180 deg about an axis in the plane. The forward kinematics is reduced…
The kinematics of particles and rigid bodies in the plane are investigated up to higher-order accelerations. Discussion of point trajectories leads from higher-order poles to higher-order Bresse circles of the moving plane. Symplectic…
We study automorphisms of smooth hypersurfaces in projective space $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ whose fixed loci have codimension at most two for $n\geq2$. While classifications of possible orders of automorphisms are known, our aim is to explore the…
In this paper we study similarity measures for moving curves which can, for example, model changing coastlines or retreating glacier termini. Points on a moving curve have two parameters, namely the position along the curve as well as time.…
We discuss a new class of coordinate systems for a plane, which provide an analytical representation of arbitrary straightline, and then define the form of potential on the plane, under which the equations of motion of a mass point are…
We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…
