Abstract
This paper presents an approach for extracting points from conic intersections by using the concept of pencils. This method is based on QC2GA—the two-dimensional version of QCGA (Quadric Conformal Geometric Algebra)—that is demonstrated to be equivalent to GAC (Geometric Algebra for Conics). A new interpretation of QC2GA and its objects based on pencils of conics and point space elements is presented, enabling the creation, constraining, and exploitation of pencils of conics. A Geometric Algebra method for computing the discriminants and center point of a conic will also be presented, enabling the proposition of an algorithm for extracting points from a conic intersection object.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
