The radial curve of an epicycloid is shown above for an epicycloid with four cusps. Although it is claimed to be a rose curve by Lawrence (1972), it is not.

A curve given by the Cartesian equation b^2y^2=x^3(a-x). (1) It has area A=(a^3pi)/(8b). (2) The curvature is kappa(x)=(2b^2(3a^2-12ax+8x^2))/(sqrt(x)[4b^2(a-x)+(3a-4x)^2x]). ...

The pedal curve of an epicycloid x = (a+b)cost-b[((a+b)t)/b] (1) y = (a+b)sint-bsin[((a+b)t)/b] (2) with pedal point at the origin is x_p = 1/2(a+2b){cost-cos[((a+b)t)/b]} ...

A fractal curve of infinite length which bounds an area twice that of the original square.

The inverse curve of the epispiral r=asec(ntheta) with inversion center at the origin and inversion radius k is the rose curve r=(kcos(ntheta))/a.

The inverse curve for a parabola given by x = at^2 (1) y = 2at (2) with inversion center (x_0,y_0) and inversion radius k is x = x_0+(k(at^2-x_0))/((at^2+x_0)^2+(2at-y_0)^2) ...

The radial curve of the tractrix x = a(t-tanht) (1) y = asecht (2) with radiant point (x_0,y_0) is the kappa curve x_r = x_0+atanht (3) y_r = y_0+asinhttanht. (4)

In general, the pedal curve of the cardioid is a slightly complicated function. The pedal curve of the cardioid with respect to the center of its conchoidal circle is the ...

A curve whose centrode revolves about a fixed axis with constant angle and speed when the curve is traversed with unit speed. The tangent indicatrix of a curve of constant ...

The pedal curve of an astroid x = acos^3t (1) y = asin^3t (2) with pedal point at the center is the quadrifolium x_p = acostsin^2t (3) y_p = acos^2tsint. (4)
