The Centre Symmetry Set of a planar curve M is the envelope of affine chords of M , i.e. the lines joining points on M with parallel tangent lines. In this paper we study global geometrical properties of this set including the number of singularities and the number of asymptotes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
