Reconstructions of Special Sequences

We discuss here some methods for reconstructing special sequences which generate special polygonal arcs in E T. For such reconstructions we introduce a ”mid” function which cuts out the middle part of a sequence; the ”⇃” function, which cuts down the left part of a sequence at some point; the ”⇂” function for cutting down the right part at some point; and the ”⇃⇂” function for cutting down both...
