Jan 4, 2013 at 19:41 comment added Kevin R. Vixie Hi Hans -- why did you delete your question about the distance between two curves? I had written up a somewhat detailed answer, but couldn't submit because the questions was deleted. (Your question was good by the way). If you are still interested you can email me at [email protected] and I will send you what I wrote, or undelete the question and I will post the answer. (I know this is an unusual use of the comments, but since you have no contact info on your user page this was the only option ;~)

Jan 1, 2013 at 14:51 comment added Sergei Ivanov This is certainly false for arbitrary pairs $\Gamma,\Gamma'$, just by counting the degrees of freedom. Concerning the ellipses, are you interested in the case when both curves are ellipses, or one of them?

Dec 31, 2012 at 17:26 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker @Sergei: You are right, I corrected it again.
Dec 31, 2012 at 17:06 comment added Sergei Ivanov Your formula for $\Omega$ is still not good. You are integrating a full derivative (and singularities are only at points where the curvature is zero), so the result is always 0.

Dec 30, 2012 at 20:58 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker $\Omega = 0$ is supposed to mean "constant curvature".
Dec 30, 2012 at 19:57 comment added Pietro Majer Is the formula for Ω what you really mean? Here Ω=0 implies γ′′′=0 , that is $\gamma(s)=as^2+bs+c$, right?
