| |
| In [[geometry]], the '''bicorn''', also known as a '''cocked hat curve''' due to its resemblance to a [[bicorne]], is a [[Rational curve|rational]] [[quartic curve]] defined by the equation
| |
| :<math>y^2(a^2-x^2)=(x^2+2ay-a^2)^2.</math>
| |
| It has two [[cusp (singularity)|cusp]]s and is symmetric about the y-axis.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| In 1864, [[James Joseph Sylvester]] studied the curve
| |
| :<math>y^4-xy^3-8xy^2+36x^2y+16x^2-27x^3=0</math>
| |
| in connection with the classification of [[quintic equation]]s; he named the curve a bicorn because it has two cusps. This curve was further studied by [[Arthur Cayley]] in 1867.
| |
| | |
| ==Properties==
| |
| The bicorn is a [[algebraic curve|plane algebraic curve]] of degree four and [[geometric genus|genus]] zero. It has two cusp singularities in the real plane, and a double point in the [[complex projective plane]] at x=0, z=0 . If we move x=0 and z=0 to the origin substituting and perform an imaginary rotation on x bu substituting ix/z for x and 1/z for y in the bicorn curve, we obtain
| |
| :<math>(x^2-2az+a^2z^2)^2 = x^2+a^2z^2.\,</math>
| |
| This curve, a [[limaçon]], has an ordinary double point at the origin, and two nodes in the complex plane, at x = ± i and z=1.

| |
| | |
| The parametric equations of a bicorn curve are:
| |
| | |
| <math>x = a \sin(\theta)</math> and
| |
| <math>y = \frac{\cos^2(\theta) \left(2+\cos(\theta)\right)}{3+\sin^2(\theta)}</math> with <math>-\pi\le\theta\le\pi</math>

Hi there. Let me begin by introducing the author, her title is Sophia Boon but she by no means truly liked that title. What me and my family adore is telephone psychic (36.240) doing ballet but I've been taking on new email psychic readings things recently. Office supervising is where her main earnings comes from but she's currently utilized for another one. Her family lives in Ohio.
