In this paper, we compute the number of self-intersections of a plane projection of a generic complete intersection curve defined by polynomials with the given support. Moreover, we discuss the tropical counterpart of this problem.
We obtain a sharp bound on the number of self-intersections of a closed planar curve with trigonometric parameterization. Moreover, we show that a generic curve of this form is normal in the sense of Whitney.
We obtain a coarse relationship between geometric intersection numbers of curves and the sum of their subsurface projection distances with explicit quasi-constants. By using this relationship, we give applications in the studies of the…
In this paper we analyze the intersection between the norm-trace curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ and the curves of the form $y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d$, giving a complete characterization of the intersection between the curve and the parabolas, as…

We introduce the warping crossing polynomial of an oriented knot diagram by using the warping degrees of crossing points of the diagram. Given a closed transversely intersected plane curve, we consider oriented knot diagrams obtained from…
We address the problem of computing bounds for the self-intersection number (the minimum number of self-intersection points) of members of a free homotopy class of curves in the doubly-punctured plane as a function of their combinatorial…
If two closed Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, then it is called a {\em touching point}. All other intersection points are called {\em crossing points}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for…
Using the Semple bundle construction, we derive an intersection-theoretic formula for the number of simultaneous contacts of specified orders between members of a generic family of degree $d$ plane curves and finitely many fixed curves. The…
We give an explicit formula for the log-canonical threshold of a reduced germ of plane curve. The formula depends only on the first two maximal contact values of the branches and their intersection multiplicities. We also improve the two…
A classical inequality which is due to Lickorish and Hempel says that the distance between two curves in the curve complex can be measured by their intersection number. In this paper, we show a converse version; the intersection number of…
We derive various inequalities involving the intersection number of the curves contained in geodesics and tight geodesics in the curve graph. While there already exist such inequalities on tight geodesics, our method applies in the setting…
We determine the crossing number of polynomial size curve systems on standard surfaces, in terms of the genus, up to high precision.
Consider l lines in P^2 such that no three lines meet in a point. Let X(l) denote all points of intersections of these l lines. We describe all pairs (d,l) such that generic degree d curve in P^2 contains a X(l).
A fast algorithm for counting intersections of two normal curves on a triangulated surface is proposed. It yields a convenient way for treating mapping class groups of punctured surfaces by presenting mapping classes by matrices, and the…
Intersection norms are integer norms on the first homology group of a surface. In this article, we prove that there are some polytopes which are not dual unit balls of such norms. By the way, we investigate the set of collections of curves…
We consider the following question: Given $n$ lines and $n$ circles in $\mathbb{R}^3$, what is the maximum number of intersection points lying on at least one line and on at least one circle of these families. We prove that if there are no…
We consider systems of simple closed curves on surfaces and their total number of intersection points, their so-called crossing number. For a fixed number of curves, we aim to minimise the crossing number. We determine the minimal crossing…
A closed subscheme of codimension two $T \subset P^2$ is a quasi complete intersection (q.c.i.) of type $(a,b,c)$ if there exists a surjective morphism $\mathcal{O} (-a) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-b) \oplus \mathcal{O} (-c) \to \mathcal{I} _T$.…
