Bridges, channels and Arnold's invariants for generic plane curves

2002

Abstract We define sums of plane curves that generalize the idea of connected sum and show how Arnol'd's invariants behave with respect to them. We also consider the inverse process of decomposition of a curve and as an application, obtain a new method that reduces considerably the amounts of computation involved in the calculation of Arnold's invariants.

A continuous circle of pseudo-arcs filling up the annulus

1999

We prove an early announcement by Knaster on a decomposition of the plane. Then we establish an announcement by Anderson saying that the plane annulus admits a continlous decomposition into pseudo-arcs such that the quotient space is a simple closed curve. This provides a new plane curve, "a selectible circle of pseudo-aics", and answers some questions of Lewis.

Comparison of the Root Canal Curvatures of Human Teeth with the Curvatures of the Resin Blocks Used as Models for Training

2019

In this paper we develop a method to associate a function curvature to human teeth roots.These functions are calculated from radiographs using mathematical software. We use this procedure to compare the curvatures of the roots with the curvatures of the resin blocks that are used for learning. The comparison is made by calculating the distances of the corresponding functions in the \(L_1\) metric.
