Roulette (curve) in this case, the point lies on the circle then the roulette is a cycloid. A related concept is a glissette, the curve described by a point attached to a given curve as it slides along two (or more) given curves. Formally speaking, the curves must be differentiable curves in the Euclidean plane. The "fixed curve" is kept invariant; the "rolling curve" is subjected to a continuous congruence transformation such that at all times the curves are tangent at a point of contact that moves with the same speed when taken along either curve (another way to express this constraint
Singular point of a curve be studied as a classification of singular point of an algebraic variety. Some of the possible singularities are: Singular point of a curve In geometry, a singular point on a curve is one where the curve is not given by a smooth embedding of a parameter. The precise definition of a singular point depends on the type of curve being studied. Algebraic curves in the plane may be defined as the set of points ("x", "y") satisfying an equation of the form "f"("x", "y")=0, where "f" is a polynomial function "f":R→R. If "f" is expanded as If the origin (0,
