A Note on Superspirals of Confluent Type

Abstract: Superspirals include a very broad family of monotonic curvature curves, whose radius of curvature is defined by a completely monotonic Gauss hypergeometric function. They are generalizations of log-aesthetic curves, and other curves whose radius of curvature is a particular case of a completely monotonic Gauss hypergeometric function. In this work, we study superspirals of confluent type via similarity geometry. Through a detailed investigation of the similarity curvatures of superspirals of confluent type, we… Show more

“…The confluent hyper-geometric equation is an important differential equation that is used in many areas of classical and quantum physics, chemistry and engineering [9]. This equation also arises in optics [10,11], classical electrodynamics [9,11], classical waves [12,13], diffusion [14], fluid flow [15], heat transfer [16], general relativity [17,18], semi-classical quantum mechanics [19], quantum chemistry [20,21], graphic design [22], finance and many other areas. The solutions of the confluent hyper-geometric equation depend in an essential way on whether or not and are integers.…”

“…Many well-known spirals [42], including a clothoid, are special cases of this class of curves. The most generalized class of curves with a monotonic curvature function, called superspirals, was introduced in [27] and studied via similarity geometry in recent works [40][41]. Equations of these curves are expressed through Gaussian hypergeometric functions and are numerically integrated by adaptive integration methods such as the Gauss-Kronrod method.…”

“…Moreover, we note that there is a very nice discussion of Landau levels that also employs confluent hypergeometric functions [18]. The confluent hypergeometric equation also arises in optics [15,[19][20][21][22], classical electrodynamics [6,19,23], classical waves [7,24,25], diffusion [26], fluid flow [27], heat transfer [28], general relativity [29][30][31][32], semiclassical quantum mechanics [33], quantum chemistry [34,35], graphic design [36], and many other areas. The solutions of the confluent hypergeometric equation depend in an essential way on whether or not 𝑎, 𝑏, and 𝑎 − 𝑏 are integers and the standard references (see below) do not present these solutions, with appropriate qualifications, in a user-friendly way.…”
