| Sep 13 at 16:45 | comment | added | Maxim Prasolov | We can speak about an algorithm only if the given data is of combinatorial nature. However we can always approximate the curve by a piecewise linear curve (by choosing the set of breaking points to be a sufficiently dense subset of the given curve) and then smooth out the corners by sufficiently small arcs. | |
| Sep 13 at 14:06 | comment | added | Iosif Pinelis | (i) What is a "line section"? (ii) What exactly do you mean by "smooth"? How can a curve be smooth and composed of only "line sections" and arcs (so as to contain at least one "line section" and at least one arc? | |
