A quartic curve that resembles the symbol for the zodiacal sign Capricorn given by the implicit equation a^2x^2(x^2+y^2)-b(ay-x^2-y^2)^2=0, where a>0, b>a^2. The curve ...

Given two closed curves, the circuminscribed curve is simultaneously inscribed in the outer one and circumscribed on the inner one.

A concho-spiral, also known as a conchospiral, is a space curve with parametric equations r = mu^ua (1) theta = u (2) z = mu^uc, (3) where mu, a, and c are fixed parameters. ...

An equation of the form y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d where only one root is real.

The envelope of refracted rays for a given curve.

The gear curve is a curve resembling a gear with n teeth given by the parametric equations x = rcost (1) y = rsint, (2) where r=a+1/btanh[bsin(nt)], (3) where tanhx is the ...

The hippopede, also known as the horse fetter, is a curve given by the polar equation r^2=4b(a-bsin^2theta). Hippopedes are plotted above for values of a/b=0.2 to 2.0.

The necessary and sufficient condition that an algebraic curve has an algebraic involute is that the arc length is a two-valued algebraic function of the coordinates of the ...

y^(n/m)+c|x/a|^(n/m)-c=0, with n/m>2. If n/m<2, the curve is a hypoellipse.

y^(n/m)+c|x/a|^(n/m)-c=0, with n/m<2. If n/m>2, the curve is a hyperellipse.
