  • Combination of Cubic and Quartic Plane Curve
    IOSR Journal of Mathematics (IOSR-JM) e-ISSN: 2278-5728,p-ISSN: 2319-765X, Volume 6, Issue 2 (Mar. - Apr. 2013), PP 43-53 www.iosrjournals.org Combination of Cubic and Quartic Plane Curve C.Dayanithi Research Scholar, Cmj University, Megalaya Abstract The set of complex eigenvalues of unistochastic matrices of order three forms a deltoid. A cross-section of the set of unistochastic matrices of order three forms a deltoid. The set of possible traces of unitary matrices belonging to the group SU(3) forms a deltoid. The intersection of two deltoids parametrizes a family of Complex Hadamard matrices of order six. The set of all Simson lines of given triangle, form an envelope in the shape of a deltoid. This is known as the Steiner deltoid or Steiner's hypocycloid after Jakob Steiner who described the shape and symmetry of the curve in 1856. The envelope of the area bisectors of a triangle is a deltoid (in the broader sense defined above) with vertices at the midpoints of the medians. The sides of the deltoid are arcs of hyperbolas that are asymptotic to the triangle's sides. I.

  • Parametric Representations of Polynomial Curves Using Linkages
    Parabola Volume 52, Issue 1 (2016) Parametric Representations of Polynomial Curves Using Linkages Hyung Ju Nam1 and Kim Christian Jalosjos2 Suppose that you want to draw a large perfect circle on a piece of fabric. A simple technique might be to use a length of string and a pen as indicated in Figure1: tie a knot at one end (A) of the string, push a pin through the knot to make the center of the circle, tie a pen at the other end (B) of the string, and rotate around the pin while holding the string tight. Figure 1: Drawing a perfect circle Figure 2: Pantograph On the other hand, you may think about duplicating or enlarging a map. You might use a pantograph, which is a mechanical linkage connecting rods based on parallelo- grams. Figure2 shows a draftsman’s pantograph 3 reproducing a map outline at 2.5 times the size of the original. As we may observe from the above examples, a combination of two or more points and rods creates a mechanism to transmit motion. In general, a linkage is a system of interconnected rods for transmitting or regulating the motion of a mechanism. Link- ages are present in every corner of life, such as the windshield wiper linkage of a car4, the pop-up plug of a bathroom sink5, operating mechanism for elevator doors6, and many mechanical devices. See Figure3 for illustrations. 1Hyung Ju Nam is a junior at Washburn Rural High School in Kansas, USA. 2Kim Christian Jalosjos is a sophomore at Washburn Rural High School in Kansas, USA.

  • Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces 1
    DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY OF CURVES AND SURFACES 1. Curves in the Plane 1.1. Points, Vectors, and Their Coordinates. Points and vectors are fundamental objects in Geometry. The notion of point is intuitive and clear to everyone. The notion of vector is a bit more delicate. In fact, rather than saying what a vector is, we prefer to say what a vector has, namely: direction, sense, and length (or magnitude). It can be represented by an arrow, and the main idea is that two arrows represent the same vector if they have the same direction, sense, and length. An arrow representing a vector has a tail and a tip. From the (rough) definition above, we deduce that in order to represent (if you want, to draw) a given vector as an arrow, it is necessary and sufficient to prescribe its tail. a c b b a c a a b P Figure 1. We see four copies of the vector a, three of the vector b, and two of the vector c. We also see a point P . An important instrument in handling points, vectors, and (consequently) many other geometric objects is the Cartesian coordinate system in the plane. This consists of a point O, called the origin, and two perpendicular lines going through O, called coordinate axes. Each line has a positive direction, indicated by an arrow (see Figure 2). We denote by R the a P y a y x O O x Figure 2. The point P has coordinates x, y. The vector a has also coordinates x, y.

    ENTRY CURVES [ENTRY CURVES] Authors: Oliver Knill, Andrew Chi, 2003 Literature: www.mathworld.com, www.2dcurves.com astroid An [astroid] is the curve t (cos3(t); a sin3(t)) with a > 0. An asteroid is a 4-cusped hypocycloid. It is sometimes also called a tetracuspid,7! cubocycloid, or paracycle. Archimedes spiral An [Archimedes spiral] is a curve described as the polar graph r(t) = at where a > 0 is a constant. In words: the distance r(t) to the origin grows linearly with the angle. bowditch curve The [bowditch curve] is a special Lissajous curve r(t) = (asin(nt + c); bsin(t)). brachistochone A [brachistochone] is a curve along which a particle will slide in the shortest time from one point to an other. It is a cycloid. Cassini ovals [Cassini ovals] are curves described by ((x + a) + y2)((x a)2 + y2) = k4, where k2 < a2 are constants. They are named after the Italian astronomer Goivanni Domenico− Cassini (1625-1712). Geometrically Cassini ovals are the set of points whose product to two fixed points P = ( a; 0); Q = (0; 0) in the plane is the constant k 2. For k2 = a2, the curve is called a Lemniscate. − cardioid The [cardioid] is a plane curve belonging to the class of epicycloids. The fact that it has the shape of a heart gave it the name. The cardioid is the locus of a fixed point P on a circle roling on a fixed circle.

  • Lemniscate of Leaf Function
    LEMNISCATE OF LEAF FUNCTION APREPRINT Kazunori Shinohara∗ Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering Daido University 10-3 Takiharu-cho, Minami-ku, Nagoya 457-8530, Japan [email protected] January 6, 2021 ABSTRACT A lemniscate is a curve defined by two foci, F1 and F2. If the distance between the focal points of F1 − F2 is 2a (a: constant), then any point P on the lemniscate curve satisfy the equation 2 PF1 · PF2 = a . Jacob Bernoulli first described the lemniscate in 1694. The Fagnano discovered the double angle formula of the lemniscate(1718). The Euler extended the Fagnano’s formula to a more general addition theorem(1751). The lemniscate function was subsequently proposed by Gauss around the year 1800. These insights are summarized by Jacobi as the theory of elliptic functions. A leaf function is an extended lemniscate function. Some formulas of leaf functions have been presented in previous papers; these included the addition theorem of this function and its application to nonlinear equations. In this paper, the geometrical properties of leaf functions at n = 2 and the geometric relation between the angle θ and lemniscate arc length l are presented using the lemniscate curve. The relationship between the leaf functions sleaf2(l) and cleaf2(l) is derived using the geometrical properties of the lemniscate, similarity of triangles, and the Pythagorean theorem. In the literature, the relation equation for sleaf2(l) and cleaf2(l) (or the lemniscate functions, sl(l) and cl(l)) has been derived analytically; however, it is not derived geometrically.

  • HT-Based Recognition Using Mathematical Curves
    STAG: Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics (2019) M. Agus, M. Corsini and R. Pintus (Editors) HT-based recognition of patterns on 3D shapes using a dictionary of mathematical curves C. Romanengo1 , S. Biasotti1 , and B. Falcidieno1 1Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche ‘E. Magenes’ - CNR, Italy Abstract Characteristic curves play a fundamental role in the way a shape is perceived and illustrated. To address the curve recognition problem on surfaces, we adopt a generalisation of the Hough Transform (HT) which is able to deal with mathematical curves. In particular, we extend the set of curves so far adopted for curve recognition with the HT and propose a new dictionary of curves to be selected as templates. In addition, we introduce rules of composition and aggregation of curves into patterns, not limiting the recognition to a single curve at a time. Our method recognises various curves and patterns, possibly compound on a 3D surface. It selects the most suitable profile in a family of curves and, deriving from the HT, it is robust to noise and able to deal with data incompleteness. The system we have implemented is open and allows new additions of curves in the dictionary of functions already available. CCS Concepts • Computing methodologies !

We show that the lemniscate of Bernoulli arises from a locus problem related to the orthogonality of a pair of median and symmedian of a triangle with a given side, and study a generalization of the locus problem. 1.

If A =(u, v), the perpendicular to AM at A is the line u(x − u)+v(y − v)=0.

In Utpal Mukhopadhyay is a this article, major contributions. and some of the problems teacher in Barasat posed by Jacob I and Johann I, two of the outstanding Satyabharati Vidyapith, mathematicians of this family, have been discussed briefly. West Bengal. Introduction In the long, glorious history of mathematics, we come across various mathematical geniuses who have enriched the subject by their significant contributions. But if we cQnsider the contribu­ tion of a single family in this field, then the Bernoulli family outshines all others, both in terms of versatility and the number of mathematicians it produced. A father and son combination is not very rare in the field of mathematics. Farcas Bolyai (1775- 1856) and Janos Bolyai (1802-1860), George David Birkhoff (1884-1944) and Garrett Birkhoff, Emil Artin and Michael Artin, Elie Cartan and Henri Cartan, etc. belong to this class. As father­ daughter pair of mathematicians we find Theon and Hypatia in Greece, Bhaskaracharya II (1114-1185) and Lilavati in India during ancient times and Max Noether and Emmy Noether in more modern times. Even if we consider the contribution of a particular family, we find the Riccati family in Italy which produced at least three mathematicians. But, as mathematicians, the members of the Bernoulli family were much superior to those of the Riccati family. The Bernoulli family outshines all Bernoulli Family others, both in The ancestors of the Bernoulli family originally lived in Hol­ terms of versatility land.

  • The Vitruvian Figure of Eight
    Bridges 2010: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture The Vitruvian Figure of Eight Joel C. Langer Mathematics Department Case Western Reserve University [email protected] Abstract The remarkable hidden symmetry of the Bernoulli lemniscate appeals to the mind and eye alike, and presents an opportunity to straddle the line between art and mathematics. 1 Introduction The best known plane curve resembling the symbol for infinity ∞ is the lemniscate of Bernoulli. It is named after James Bernoulli, who considered the integral for the curve’s arclength in his early work on elasticity theory (1694). The same arclength integral led to discoveries by Count Fagnano (1718) and Euler (1751) on the addition theorem for elliptic integrals, the key which opened up the theory of elliptic integrals and functions. Following Gauss’s theorem (1796) on constructible polygons, Abel’s result (1827) on subdivision of the lemniscate gave the curve a place in the history of algebra and number theory. (See [3], [5] and [6].) It is surprising that a curve with such a history is not better known as a beautiful geometric object in its own right. The obvious elegance, symmetry, and association with infinity bestow on the lemniscate an undeniable mystique. In fact, hidden within itself, the curve carries a much richer structure. As explained in the last section, it is hardly a stretch to say that the lemniscate is intrinsically a disdyakis dodecahedron—dual to the great rhombicuboctahedron—with 48 triangular faces, 72 edges, and 26 vertices, which are permuted by the full octahedral group of symmetries. After providing brief mathematical and historical background, we offer a visual explanation of the lemniscate’s structure, in Figures 3, 4.

The following two statements have been important achievements of 19th century Mathematics. Precisely, the first one was mostly known to Gauss, and its proof was completed by Wantzel in 1837; the second one was established by Lindemann in 1882: Algebraicity of division points: For every integer n ≥ 1 the points dividing S1 into n parts of equal length starting from P are algebraic, and their coordinates generate the abelian extensions Q(ζn) of Q. Hence the circle can be divided into n parts of equal length with ruler and compass if and only if n is a product of a power of 2 and of distinct Fermat primes. Transcendence of the length: The length of S1 is transcendental. Hence the circle cannot be rectified with ruler and compass. 1.2. It was later shown by Abel that Bernoulli's lemniscate, i.e.p the locusp of points in the plane 2 2 1 such that the product of their distances from the two points (− 2 ; 0); ( 2 ; 0) equals 2 , also has algebraic division points.
