Extremal Curves of a Rotating Ellipse
In the real Euclidean plane the ellipse \(k(0)\) with \(x^2/{a^2}+y^2/{b^2}=1\) rotates about its center through an angle \(\phi\) and becomes the ellipse \(k(\phi)\). Denote by \(N(\phi)\) the point of \(k(\phi)\) with maximal \(y\)-coordinate (``highest point). The authors show that the {extremal curve} \(\{N(\phi)\enspace|\enspace\,0\leq\phi\leq\,2\pi\}=:c\) belongs to the algebraic curve of degree \(4\) with \(x^{2}y^2=(a^2-y^2)(y^2-b^2)\) and exhibit a connection to probability. Reviewer's remark: Take a rotary elliptic cam-disk with flat-face follower. Then \(c\) is the curve of contact; cf. \textit{S. A. Erdman} and \textit{G. N. Sandor} [Mechanism design, Vol. I, 2nd ed. (Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey) (1990), p. 346].
