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 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 کاملArea-Proportional Drawings of Intersecting Families of Simple Closed Curves
A FISC, or family of intersecting simple closed curves, is a collection of simple closed curves in the plane with the properties that there is some open region common to the interiors of all the curves, and that every two curves intersect in finitely many points or arcs. Let F be a FISC with a set of open regions R. F is said to be area-proportional with respect to weight function ω : R → R if ...
متن کاملConvex drawings of intersecting families of simple closed curves
A FISC or family of intersecting simple closed curves is a collection of simple closed curves in the plane with the properties that there is some open region common to the interiors of all the curves, and that every two curves intersect in nitely many points. Let F be a FISC. Intersections of the curves represent the vertices of a plane graph, G(F), whose edges are the curve arcs between vertic...
