Given a curve $C$ and a fixed point $L$ (the light source), the catacaustic of $C$ with respect to $L$ is the envelope of light rays coming from $L$ and reflected from the curve $C$. The catacaustic ...

Let $(C_1)$, $(C_2)$ be two conics on the same Ellipsoid, (or Hyperboloid, or Paraboloid). Let $A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4$ be four arbitrary points lie on $(C_1)$; $B_1$ be arbitrary point on $(C_2)$. The ...

Let $A, B$ be two points and $L$ be a line on the Euclidean Plane. Take two points $J, G$ on the line $L$ such that $JG=constant$. Let $AJ$ meet $BG$ at $P$, $AG$ meet $BJ$ at $Q$, then the locus of ...

I propose a conjecture variant of Cayley-Bacharach's theorem. I'm an electrical engineer, I am not a mathematician. I don't know how to prove this result. Could you give a solution or let me know ...

Let $X$ be a (singular, reducible) affine plane real algebraic curve of degree $d$. How we can estimate maximal number of connected components of it's complement in $R^2$ in terms of degree?
