The Maltese cross curve is the cubic algebraic curve with Cartesian equation xy(x^2-y^2)=x^2+y^2 (1) and polar equation r=2/(sqrt(sin(4theta))) (2) (Cundy and Rollett 1989, ...

Given a general quadratic curve Ax^2+Bxy+Cy^2+Dx+Ey+F=0, (1) the quantity X is known as the discriminant, where X=B^2-4AC, (2) and is invariant under rotation. Using the ...

Curves which, when rotated in a square, make contact with all four sides. Such curves are sometimes also known as rollers. The "width" of a closed convex curve is defined as ...

If the cusp of the cardioid is taken as the inversion center, the cardioid inverts to a parabola.

For an ellipse with parametric equations x = acost (1) y = bsint, (2) the negative pedal curve with respect to the origin has parametric equations x_n = ...

An example of a subspace of the Euclidean plane that is connected but not pathwise-connected with respect to the relative topology. It is formed by the ray y=0, x<=0 and the ...

For the cardioid given parametrically as x = a(1+cost)cost (1) y = a(1+cost)sint, (2) the negative pedal curve with respect to the pedal point (x_0,y_0)=(0,0) is the circle ...

The negative pedal curve of a line specified parametrically by x = at (1) y = 0 (2) is given by x_n = 2at-x (3) y_n = ((x-at)^2)/y, (4) which is a parabola.

The pedal curve to the Tschirnhausen cubic for pedal point at the origin is the parabola x = 1-t^2 (1) y = 2t. (2)

For a unit circle with parametric equations x = cost (1) y = sint, (2) the negative pedal curve with respect to the pedal point (r,0) is x_n = (r-cost)/(rcost-1) (3) y_n = ...
