Abstract

Let CPnC\subset \mathbb{P}^n be a rational normal curve and let O:Pn+1Pn\ell_O:\mathbb{P}^{n+1}\dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n be any tangential projection form a point OTACO\in T_AC where ACA\in C. Hence X:=O(C)PnX:= \ell_O(C)\subset \mathbb{P}^n is a linearly normal cuspidal curve with degree n+1n+1. For any P=O(B)P = \ell_O(B), BPn+1B\in \mathbb{P}^{n+1}, the XX-rank rX(P)r_X(P) of PP is the minimal cardinality of a set SXS\subset X whose linear span contains PP. Here we describe rX(P)r_X(P) in terms of the schemes computing the CC-rank or the border CC-rank of BB.
