Solving Cubics With Creases: The Work of Beloch and Lill

نویسنده

  • Thomas C. Hull
چکیده

Margharita P. Beloch was the first person, in 1936, to realize that origami (paperfolding) constructions can solve general cubic equations and thus are more powerful than straightedge and compass constructions. We present her proof. In doing this we use a delightful (and mostly forgotten?) geometric method due to Eduard Lill for finding the real roots of polynomial equations.

Cumulative Chords, Piecewise-quadratics and Piecewise-cubics

Cumulative chord piecewise-quadratics and piecewise-cubics are examined in detail, and compared with other low degree interpolants for unparameterized data from regular curves in , especially piecewise-4-point quadratics. Orders of approximation are calculated and compared with numerical experiments. Good performance of the interpolant is also confirmed experimentally on sparse data. This work ...
