L0G0CYCLIC CURVE, STROPHOID

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 919 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
L0G0CYCLIC CURVE, STROPHOID or FOLIATE, a cubic
curve
  generated by increasing or diminishing the
radius
  vector of a variable point Q on a straight
line
  AB by the distance QC of the point from the foot of the perpendicular
drawn
  from the origin to the fixed
line
 . The polar equation is rcosO =a(r t sing), the upper sign referring to the
case
  when the vector is increased, the
lower
  when it is diminished. Both branches are included in the Cartesian equation (x2+y2) (2ax) =a2x, where a is the distance of the line from the origin. If we take for axes the fixed line and the perpendicular through the initial point, the equation takes the form y sl (ax) =x Al (a+x). The
curve
  resembles the
folium
  of
Descartes
 , and has a node between x = o, x = a, and two branches asymptotic to the line x=-- 2a.
