Hi,
I would like to know the equation(s) which describe the locus of a
mobile point which is in the same distance from two given
polynomial curves and/or straight lines.
For example, given a circle and a straight line,
the locus of the point is a kind of parabola settled between
circle and line. I am especially interested in the equations
describing the locus-curves between conic sections and/or
straight lines.
In order to compute a set of solution points, I am looking
for an algorithm which is able to compute all intersection points
between conic sections in the plane. Does an algorithm exists for
computing intersections of general polynomial curves?
I will thank you for any hints on textbooks etc.
Best regards,
Roland
