Minimal decomposition of binary forms with respect to tangential projections

Abstract: Let

C s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{n}

be a rational normal curve and let

e l l_{O} : m a t h b b P^{n + 1} d a s h r i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b P^{n}

be any tangential projection form a point

O i n T_{A} C

where

A i n C

. Hence

X := e l l_{O} (C) s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{n}

is a linearly normal cuspidal curve with degree

n + 1

. For any

P = e l l_{O} (B)

,

B i n m a t h b b P^{n + 1}

, the

X

-rank

r_{X} (P)

of

P

is the minimal cardinality of a set

S s u b s e t X

whose linear span contains

P

. Here we describe

r_{X} (P)

in terms of the schemes computing the

C

-rank or the border

C

-rank of

B

.
