Analysis of Inflection and Singular Points on a Parametric Curve with a Shape Factor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The features of a class of cubic curves with a shape factor are analyzed by means of the theory of envelope and topological mapping. The effects of the shape factor on the cubic curves are made clear. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the curve to have one or two inflection points, a loop or a cusp, or to be locally or globally convex. Those conditions are completely characterized by the relative position of the edge vectors of the control polygon and the shape factor. The results are summarized in a shape diagram, which is useful when the cubic parametric curves are used for geometric modeling. Furthermore, we discuss the influences of the shape factor on the shape diagram and the ability for adjusting the shape of the curve.

متن کاملبررسی نقش پارامترهای هیدرولوژیکی و هندسی حوزه بر شکل منحنی تداوم جریان (مطالعه موردی: ناحیه خزری)
The flow duration curve (FDC) is a classical method used to graphically represent the relationship between the frequency and magnitude of stream flow. Several factors are involved in the shape of (FDC), including climatic and physiographic parameter of basin. In this research, the relationship between (FDC) and the physical parameters of the basin were investigated. 20 hydrometric stations with...
متن کاملComputing real inflection points of cubic algebraic curves
Shape modeling using planar cubic algebraic curves calls for computing the real inflection points of these curves since inflection points represents important shape feature. A real inflection point is also required for transforming projectively a planar cubic algebraic curve to the normal form, in order to facilitate further analysis of the curve. However, the naive method for computing the inf...
متن کاملInflection points and singularities on planar rational cubic curve segments
We obtain the distribution of inflection points and singularities on a parametric rational cubic curve segment with aid of Mathematica (A System of for Doing Mathematics by Computer). The reciprocal numbers of the magnitudes of the end slopes determine the occurrence of inflection points and singularities on the segment. Its use enables us to check whether the segment has inflection points or a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Models to Describe Temporal Growth in Local Chickens of Ghana
The logistic, Gompertz, Richards and asymmetric logistic growth curve models were fitted to body weight data of local Ghanaian chickens and French SASSO T44 chickens. All four growth models provided good fit for each sex by genotype growth data with R2 values ranging from 86.7% to 96.7%. The rate constant parameter, k, ranged between 0.137 and 0.271 and were significantly different from zero fo...
