Cusp (singularity)
text:
In mathematics, a cusp, sometimes called spinode in old texts, is a point on a curve where a moving point must reverse direction. A typical example is given in the figure. A cusp is thus a type of singular point of a curve. For a plane curve defined by an analytic, parametric equation a cusp is a point where both derivatives of f and g are zero, and the directional derivative, in the direction of the tangent, changes sign. Cusps are local singularities in the sense that they involve only one val
