The inverse curve of a lemniscate in a circle centered at the origin and touching the lemniscate where it crosses the x-axis produces a rectangular hyperbola (Wells 1991).

A curve composed exclusively of circular arcs.

If J is a simple closed curve in R^2, then the Jordan curve theorem, also called the Jordan-Brouwer theorem (Spanier 1966) states that R^2-J has two components (an "inside" ...
