On the Construction of Ovals
نویسنده
چکیده
For thousands of years there has been the need to construct ovals! Some of the various approaches available to the artist are discussed (pen and string, mechanical devices, etc.). The shapes of several oval pictures are then analysed using the least squares fitting of elliptical and oval models.

A geometrical construction of the oval(s) associated with an a-flock
It is known, via algebraic methods, that a flock of a quadratic cone in PGð3; qÞ gives rise to a family of qþ 1 ovals of PGð2; qÞ and similarly that a flock of a cone over a translation oval that is not a conic gives rise to an oval of PGð2; qÞ. In this paper we give a geometrical construction of these ovals and provide an elementary geometrical proof of the construction. Further we also give a...

We give a constructive proof using tropical modifications of the existence of a family of real algebraic plane curves with asymptotically maximal numbers of even ovals.
متن کاملIsomorphisms Between Subiaco q–Clan Geometries
For q = 2e, e ≥ 4, the Subiaco construction introduced in [2] provides one q–clan, one flock, and for e 6≡ 2 (mod 4), one oval in PG(2, q). When e ≡ 2 (mod 4), there are two inequivalent ovals. The associated generalised quadrangle of order (q, q) has a complete automorphism group G of order 2e(q − 1)q. For each Subiaco oval O there is a group of collineations of PG(2, q) induced by a subgroup ...
متن کاملBent functions and line ovals
In this paper we study those bent functions which are linear on elements of spreads, their connections with ovals and line ovals, and we give descriptions of their dual bent functions. In particular, we give a geometric characterization of Niho bent functions and of their duals, we give explicit formula for the dual bent function and present direct connections with ovals and line ovals. We also...
متن کاملArf Invariants of Real Algebraic Curves
. Let CA be the complex curve in CP(2) given by the same polynomial as RA. Thus RA = CA∩RP(2). RA is a M-curve precisely when CA \ RA consists of two punctured spheres which are interchanged by complex conjugation. Arbitrarily choose one of these components, say CA. The complex structure on CA induces an orientation on CA, and thus on each immersed circle of RA. Of course if we choose the other...
