Nodary


In physics and geometry, the nodary is the curve that is traced by the focus of a hyperbola as it rolls without slipping along the axis, a roulette curve.

The differential equation of the curve is: .

Its parametric equation is:

where is the elliptic modulus and is the incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind and sn, cn and dn are Jacobi's elliptic functions.
