Tangents to fractal curves and surfaces⋆

چکیده
The aim of our work is to specify and develop a geometric modeler, based on the formalism of iterated function systems with the following objectives: access to a new universe of original, various, aesthetic shapes, modeling of conventional shapes (smooth surfaces, solids) and unconventional shapes (rough surfaces, porous solids) by defining and controlling the relief (surface state) and lacunarity (size and distribution of holes). In this context we intend to develop differential calculus tools for fractal curves and surfaces defined by IFS. Using local fractional derivatives, we show that, even if most fractal curves are nowhere differentiable, they admit a left and right half-tangents, what gives us an additional parameter to characterize shapes.

Modeling the Operational Speed of Tangents and Curves in Four-lane Highways Based on Geometric and Roadside Factors
Operational speed is an index that represents drivers’ speeding behaviors and shows the comfort and safety levels they experience. Many models had been proposed to predict operational speed in tangent and curve segments of highways. Most of these works had used geometric, with few of them conducted using roadside variables to predict operational speed. Also, the operational speed study in multi...
متن کاملNew Systems of Hypergeodesics Defined on a Surface
Introduction. Let a non-ruled surface 5 be referred to its asymptotic net as parametric. As a point Py moves along a curve C\ of S, the tangents at Py to the uand ^-asymptotic curves of 5 describe two ruled surfaces R" and R{> respectively. Let Sp and S, denote arbitrary transversal surfaces of the congruences of uand ^-tangents of S, respectively. The purpose of the present paper is to introdu...
متن کاملFixed points of elliptic reversible transformations with integrals
We show that for a certain family of integrable reversible transformations, the curves of periodic points of a general transformation cross the level curves of its integrals. This leads to the divergence of the normal form for a general reversible transformation with integrals. We also study the integrable holomorphic reversible transformations coming from real analytic surfaces in C with non-d...
متن کاملCongruences of Curves
where u and v denote the parameters determining the curves and t is the parameter which determines the points on the curve. By this method of definition the equations of a congruence of curves are given a form similar to that usually adopted in the discussions of rectilinear congruences, so that one proceeds naturally to a generalization of some of the properties of the latter. At the same time...

In the calculus of functions of a single variable, we used our knowledge of lines to study curves in the plane. We investigated tangents and found that, when highly magnified, differentiable curves were effectively linear. To study the calculus of functions of more than one variable in the next chapter, we start with planes and use our knowledge of planes to study the surfaces that are the grap...
