Journal ArticleDOI

Inflection points and topology of surfaces in 4-space

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that any 2-sphere, generically embedded as a locally convex surface in 4-space, has at least 4 inflection points.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural stability of asymptotic lines on surfaces immersed in R3

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied immersions of surfaces into to R3 whose nets of asymptotic lines are topologically undisturbed under small perturbations of the immersion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can the Elliptic Billiard Still Surprise Us

TL;DR: It is shown that Monge's Orthoptic Circle's close relation to 4-periodic Billiard trajectories is well-known and its geometry provided clues with which to generalize 3- periodic invariants to trajectories of an arbitrary number of edges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lines of principal curvature around umbilics and whitney umbrellas

TL;DR: In this article, the configuration of lines of curvature near a Whitney umbrella is studied and the pattern of such configuration is established and characterized in terms of the 3-jet of the map.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elliptic Billiards and Ellipses Associated to the 3-Periodic Orbits

TL;DR: The canonical equations of the centers of circumscribed and inscribed circles to the triangles that are the 3-periodic orbits of an elliptic billiard are ellipses and the geometric locus defined by the barycenters of the edges of billiard triangles is an ellipse.
