Farin proposed a method for designing Bezier curves with monotonic curvature and torsion. Such curves are relevant in design due to their aesthetic shape. The method relies on applying a matrix M to the first edge of the control polygon of…
In this paper, we study the restrictions on the number $m$ of conic-line curves in special pencils. The most general result we obtain is the relation between upper bounds on $m$ and the number $p$ of concurrent lines in these pencils. We…
We prove that over a generic Poncelet triangle family, the locus of the circumcenter of an inversive triangle is a conic. Additionally, we prove an earlier conjecture: over generic Poncelet triangles, two unique points exist which maintain…
We prove that a smooth, complex plane curve $C$ of odd degree can be defined by a polynomial with real coefficients if and only if $C$ is isomorphic to its complex conjugate. Counterexamples are known for curves of even degree. More…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of developments of curves with respect to symmetric tensors and use it to prove the existence of isometric immersions into a general ambient space with prescribed second fundamental form. Our method…
It is shown that Euler's theorem for graphs can be generalized for 2-complexes. Two notions that generalize cycle and Eulerian tour are introduced (``circlet'' and ``Eulerian cover''), and we show that for a strongly-connected, pure…
We prove a truncated second main theorem in the projective plane for entire curves which cluster on an algebraic curve.
Based on Burnside's parametrization of the algebraic curve $y^2=x^5-x$ we provide remaining attributes of its uniformization: Fuchsian equations and their solutions, accessory parameters, monodromies, conformal maps, fundamental polygons,…
Families of translates and homothets of strictly convex curves are proven to possess Helly-type properties generalizing those of a circle. Weaker results are shown for arbitrary convex curves.
In this paper we study the isoperimetric-type equalities for rosettes, i.e. regular closed planar curves with non-vanishing curvature. We find the exact relations between the length and the oriented area of rosettes based on the oriented…
T-curves are piecewise linear curves which have been used with success since the beginning of the 1990's to construct new real algebraic curves with prescribed topology mainly on the real projective plane. In fact T-curves can be used on…
We find a geometrical method of analysing the singularities of a plane nodal curve. The main results will be used in a forthcoming paper on geometric Plucker formulas for such curves. Plane nodal curves, that is plane curves having at most…
Using a high/low argument, we prove a universal $\ell^2L^6$ decoupling estimate with constant $C_\epsilon R^{\epsilon}$ for general convex curves in the plane. These curves have no additional regularity assumptions, and the constant…
Interpreting tangency as a limit of two transverse intersections, we obtain a concrete formula to enumerate smooth degree $d$ plane curves tangent to a given line at multiple points with arbitrary order of tangency. Extending that idea, we…
In the first part of the paper we survey some nonlocal flows of convex plane curves ever studied so far and discuss properties of the flows related to enclosed area and length, especially the isoperimetric ratio and the isoperimetric…
The classical isoperimetric inequality can be extended to a general normed plane. In the Euclidean plane, the defect in the isoperimetric inequality can be calculated in terms of the signed areas of some singular sets. In this paper we…
Several results concerning pairs of polynomially convex sets whose union is not even rationally convex are given. It is shown that there is no restriction on how two spaces can be embedded in some $\C^N$ so as to be polynomially convex but…
We consider unbounded curves without endpoints. Isomorphism is equivalence up to translation. Self-avoiding plane-filling curves cannot be periodic, but they can satisfy the local isomorphism property: We obtain a set $\Omega $ of coverings…
We study a generalization of the weighted Fermat-Torricelli problem in the plane, which is derived by replacing vertices of a convex polygon by 'small' closed convex curves with weights being positive real numbers on the curves, we also…
We explore geometric and topological properties of 3d surfaces swept by Poncelet triangles, as well as tangles formed by associated points.
