Affinely invariant symmetry sets

Peter Giblin — 2008

Banach Center Publications

The classical medial axis and symmetry set of a smooth simple plane curve M, depending as they do on circles bitangent to M, are invariant under euclidean transformations. This article surveys the various ways in which the construction has been adapted to be invariant under affine transformations. They include affine distance and area constructions, and also the 'centre symmetry set' which generalizes central symmetry. A connexion is also made with the tricentre set of a convex plane curve, which...

The centre symmetry set

Peter Giblin;  Paul Holtom — 1999

Banach Center Publications

A centrally symmetric plane curve has a point called it’s centre of symmetry. We define (following Janeczko) a set which measures the central symmetry of an arbitrary strictly convex plane curve, or surface in R 3 . We investigate some of it’s properties, and begin the study of non-convex cases.
