Complexity of Plane and Spherical Curves

چکیده
We show that the maximal number of singular moves required to pass between any two regularly homotopic plane or spherical curves with at most n crossings grows quadratically with respect to n. Furthermore, for any two regularly homotopic curves with at most n crossings, there exists such a sequence of singular moves, satisfying the quadratic bound, for which all curves along the way have at most n+ 2 crossings.

Pseudo-spherical evolutes of curves on a spacelike surface in three dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space
In this paper we introduce the notion of pseudo-spherical evolutes of curves on a spacelike surface in three dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space which is analogous to the notion of evolutes of curves on the hyperbolic plane. We investigate the the singularities and geometric properties of pseudo-spherical evolutes of curves on a spacelike surface.

In this work, first the differential equation characterizing position vector of spacelike curve is obtained in Lorentzian plane $mathbb{L}^{2}.$ Then the special curves mentioned above are studied in Lorentzian plane $mathbb{L}%^{2}.$ Finally some characterizations of these special curves are given in $mathbb{L}^{2}.$
متن کاملSpherical Arc-length as a Global Conformal Parameter for Analytic Curves in the Riemann Sphere
We prove that for every analytic curve in the complex plane C, Euclidean and spherical arc-lengths are global conformal parameters. We also prove that for any analytic curve in the hyperbolic plane, hyperbolic arc-length is also a global parameter. We generalize some of these results to the case of analytic curves in R and C and we discuss the situation of curves in the Riemann sphere C ∪ {∞}. ...

The objective of the study in this paper is to define M₁,M₂-direction curves and M₁,M₂-donor curves of the spacelike curve γ via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. We obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the associated curves to be slant helices and general helices via the Bishop frame of type-2 in E₁³. After defining the spherical indicatrices of the associated curves, we obta...
متن کاملInvariants of Curves and Fronts via Gauss Diagrams
We use a notion of chord diagrams to deene their representations in Gauss diagrams of plane curves. This enables us to obtain invariants of generic plane and spherical curves curves in a systematic way via Gauss diagrams. We deene a notion of invariants of nite degree and prove that any Gauss diagram invariants are of nite degree. In this way we obtain elementary combinatorial formulas for the ...
