Abstract:The history of the isoptic curves goes back to the 19th century, but nowadays the topic is experiencing a renaissance, providing numerous new results and new applications. First, we define the notion of isoptic curve and outline some of the well-known results for strictly convex, closed curves. Overviewing the types of centered trochoids, we will be able to give the parametric equation of the isoptic curves of hypocycloids and epicycloids. Furthermore, we will determine the corresponding class of curves. Simul… Show more
