Closed-form solution of conic in point-line enumerative problem of conic

From MaRDI portal
Publication:6540645





This article considers the problem of determining the up to \(2^{\min(m,m-5)}\) conics in the real projective plane that contain \(m\) points and are tangent to \(m-5\) lines. As the author is well aware, many solutions to this problem are known. The author's solution impresses with its conciseness also for the cases with \(0 < m < 5\). It also yield necessary and sufficient algebraic and geometric criteria to determine the number of real conics. Derivations in this article are pleasantly short and elegant.
