On the Unfolding of Simple Closed Curves
We show that every rectifiable simple closed curve in the plane can be continuously deformed into a convex curve in a motion which preserves arc length and does not decrease the Euclidean distance between any pair of points on the curve. This result is obtained by approximating the curve with polygons and invoking the result of Connelly, Demaine, and Rote that such a motion exists for polygons....
متن کاملSome Conditions under Which a Homogeneous Continuum Is a Simple Closed Curve1
In a recent paper [3], the author added a note in proof stating that two of the results could be strengthened by using the fact that a nondegenerate continuous curve is a simple closed curve if it is nearly homogeneous and is not a triod. It is the main purpose of this note to present a proof of this theorem and to state stronger forms of two results in [3]. Also, a theorem is presented that is...
متن کاملContinuous Maps on Digital Simple Closed Curves
We give digital analogues of classical theorems of topology for continuous functions defined on spheres, for digital simple closed curves. In particular, we show the following: 1) A digital simple closed curve S of more than 4 points is not contractible, i.e., its identity map is not nullhomotopic in S ; 2) Let X and Y be digital simple closed curves, each symmetric with respect to the origin, ...
متن کاملVeech surfaces and simple closed curves
We study the SL(2,R)–infimal lengths of simple closed curves on half-translation surfaces. Our main result is a characterization of Veech surfaces in terms of these lengths. We also revisit the “no small virtual triangles” theorem of Smillie and Weiss and establish the following dichotomy: the virtual triangle area spectrum of a half-translation surface either has a gap above zero or is dense i...
متن کاملGeometric dilation of closed planar curves: A new lower bound
Given any simple closed curve C in the Euclidean plane, let w and D denote the minimal and the maximal caliper distances of C, correspondingly. We show that any such curve C has a geometric dilation of at least arcsin( w D ) + √
