The Offset to an Algebraic Curve and an Application to Conics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Curve offsets are important objects in computer-aided design. We study the algebraic properties of the offset to an algebraic curve, thus obtaining a general formula for its degree. This is applied to computing the degree of the offset to conics. We also compute an implicit equation of the generalised offset to a conic by using sparse resultants and the knowledge of the degree of the implicit equation.

Algebraic curves in parallel coordinates - avoiding the "over-plotting" problem
Until now the representation (i.e. plotting) of curve in Parallel Coordinates is constructed from the point ↔ line duality. The result is a " line-curve " which is seen as the envelope of it's tangents. Usually this gives an unclear image and is at the heart of the " over-plotting " problem; a barrier in the effective use of Parallel Coordinates. This problem is overcome by a transformation whi...
متن کاملOn the normal parametrization of curves and surfaces
A set of parametric equations of an algebraic curve or surface is called normal, if all the points of the curve or the surface can be given by the parametric equations. In this paper, we present a method to decide whether a set of parametric equations is normal. In addition, we give some simple criteria for a set of parametric equations to be normal. As an application, we present a method to fi...
متن کاملRectifiable Pencils of Conics
We describe analytic pencils of conics passing through the origin in C that can be mapped to straight lines locally near the origin by an analytic diffeomorphism. Under a minor non-degeneracy assumption, we prove that in a pencil with this property, almost all conics have 3 points of tangency with the same algebraic curve of class 3 (i. e. a curve projectively dual to a cubic). 2000 Math. Subj....
متن کاملOn the Number of Ratonal Points of a Plane Algebraic Curve
The number of Fq-rational points of a plane non-singular algebraic curve X defined over a finite field Fq is computed, provided that the generic point of X is not an inflexion and that X is Frobenius non-classical with respect to conics.
متن کاملOffset Policy: An Advanced Countertrade Practice
This paper explains offset and develops a strategic approach for the implementation of offset-policy for a buyer country. Offset emerges when a country cannot afford to pay cash for non-essential imports, and cannot get cash for many of its products. Offset arrangements are most frequently found in the defense-related sector. However, recently, it refers to a range of industrial and commercial ...
