We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…
We study the curvature of a smooth algebraic surface $X\subset \mathbb R^3$ of degree $d$ from the point of view of algebraic geometry. More precisely, we consider umbilical points and points of critical curvature. We prove that the number…
We give a method of counting the number of curves with a given type of singularity in a suitably ample linear series on a smooth surface using punctual Hilbert schemes. The types of singulaties for which our methods suffice include the…
Near a singular point of a surface or a curve, geometric invariants diverge in general, and the orders of diverge, in particular the boundedness about these invariants represent geometry of the surface and the curve. In this paper, we study…
The traditional study of plane and space algebraic curves by looking at their tangent vectors, curvatures and torsions provides geometric, but unfortunately not sufficient information about individual curves in order to be able to…
We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
In a previous work of the authors, a result to algorithmically compute the topology types of the level curves of an algebraic surface, is given. From this result, here we derive applications based on level curves to determine some…
We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.
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…
We describe the topology of singular real algebraic curves in a smooth surface. We enumerate and bound in terms of the degree the number of topological types of singular algebraic curves in the real projective plane.
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…
We address the problem of the maximal finite number of real points of a real algebraic curve (of a given degree and, sometimes, genus) in the projective plane. We improve the known upper and lower bounds and construct close to optimal…
We introduce an estimator for the curvature of curves and surfaces by using finite sample points drawn from sampling a probability distribution that has support on the curve or surface. First we give an algorithm for estimation of the…
The development of computational techniques in the last decade has made possible to attack some classical problems of algebraic geometry. In this survey, we briefly describe some open problems related to algebraic curves which can be…
We enumerate plane complex algebraic curves of a given degree with one singularity of any given topological type. Our approach is to compute the homology classes of the corresponding equisingular strata in the parameter spaces of plane…
For affine algebraic plane curves we reduce a calculation of its invariants to calculation of the intersection of kernels of some derivations.
We propose a computation of curvature of arbitrary two-dimensional surfaces of three-dimensional objects, which is a contribution to discrete gravity with potential applications in network geometry. We begin by linking each point of the…
In this paper we provide, first, a general symbolic algorithm for computing the symmetries of a given rational surface, based on the classical differential invariants of surfaces, i.e. Gauss curvature and mean curvature. In practice, the…
We study the geometry of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ with corank $1$ singularities. For such surfaces the singularities are isolated and at each point we define the curvature parabola in the normal space. This curve codifies all the second…
In this article, we study the complexity involved in the computation of the reach in arbitrary dimension and in particular the computation of the critical spherical curvature points of an arbitrary algebraic variety. We present properties…
