Umbilic and Tangential Singularities on Configurations of Principal Curvature Lines

In this paper is studied the relationship between quadratic tangencies of principal lines with the boundary of a surface and the Darbouxian umbilics of a smooth boundaryless surface which approximates it through the process of thickening and smoothing defined here.<br>Neste trabalho são estuda...
