Abstract:
A curve formed by inversion of a logarithmic spiral is called a double logarithmic spiral. The curves in this family possess the following property: there always exists such a spiral with continuous and monotone curvature satisfying any possible boundary conditions (= end points, tangents, and curvatures). Thus, the problem of constructing a spiral with continuous curvature and prescribed curvature elements at the endpoints is solved. Bibl. – 6 titles.
