Evolute of a Catenary Ref of evolute of catenary Evolute of a Tractrix is a Catenary. What is the evolute of a Catenary? Sketched by Leonardo DaVinci Page 3, Fig 2. EDIT1: and also on Page 23, Fig 8. DaVinci_Last...
I actually disagree with the mathworld answer. If you take the simplest case ($a=1$), the catenary is $\alpha(t)=(t,\cosh t)$. The general formula for the evolute of a plane curve is $$\beta(t) = \alpha(t) + \frac1{\kappa(t)}N(t),$$ where $N$ is the principal normal. For the catenary, we calculate t...

Tractrix tangent segment (from Baby Do-Carmo) I need some help with question 4 in section 1.3 in Baby Do-Carmo textbook in DG. The question asks: Let $\alpha(t):(0,\pi)\rightarrow R^2 $ be given by: $$ \alpha(t)= (\c...
You can find the tangent line of a curve at a point $\alpha(t)=(\alpha_1(t),\alpha_2(t))$ by the formula $$ \det\begin{pmatrix} X-\alpha_1(t) & \alpha_1'(t) \\\ Y-\alpha_2(t) & \alpha_2'(t)\end{pmatrix} $$ (for the sake of completeness, with your curve it is the locus of $(X,Y)$ such that $-\sin t \...

I'm going to use this parametric equation for a tractrix: $x(t)=a(t-\tanh t)$, $y(t)= a \text{ sech } x $ The general formula for an evolute is $$X[x

Hilbert theorem and constant negative curvature surfaces Let us consider the tractroid (pseudosphere) obtained by rotation from the tractrix curve. The surface is not defined on the "big rim", so it is not a complete ...
It's compact, but obviously not _complete_. (Wait, are you including the truncating surfaces in the result? Then it fails to be differentiable at the edges, so it doesn't have a Gaussian curvature there, much less a constant negative one).
