Intuitively, an envelope of a family of curves is a curve that is tangent to a member of the family at each point. Here we use envelopes of families of circles to study objects from matrix theory and hyperbolic geometry. First we explore relationships between numerical ranges of 2 × 2 matrices and families of circles to study the elliptical range theorem. Then we deduce a relationship between envelopes and the boundaries of families of intersecting circles and use it to find the boundaries of various families of pseudohyperbolic disks.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
