48 results for curvature parabola

At each point in an immersed surface in R4\mathbb R^4 there is a curvature ellipse in the normal plane which codifies all the local second order geometry of the surface. More recently, at the singular point of a corank 1 singular surface in R3\mathbb R^3, a curvature parabola in the normal plane which codifies all the …

Archimedes knew that the area between a parabola and any chord ABAB on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle ΔABPΔABP where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to ABAB. We consider whether this property (and similar ones) characterizes parabolas. We present five conditions which …

Archimedes showed that the area between a parabola and any chord ABAB on the parabola is four thirds of the area of triangle ΔABPΔABP, where P is the point on the parabola at which the tangent is parallel to the chord ABAB. Recently, this property of parabolas was proved to be a characteristic property of parabolas. With…

A method is proposed to construct spiral curves by inversion of a spiral arc of parabola. The resulting curve is rational of 4-th order.
