Retroreflecting Curves in Nonstandard Analysis
We present a direct construction of retroreflecting curves by means of Nonstandard Analysis. We construct non self-intersecting curves which are of class C¹, except for a hyper-finite set of values, such that the probability of a particle being reflected from the curve with the velocity opposite to...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Summary: | We present a direct construction of retroreflecting curves by means of Nonstandard Analysis. We construct non self-intersecting curves which are of class C¹, except for a hyper-finite set of values, such that the probability of a particle being reflected from the curve with the velocity opposite to the velocity of incidence, is infinitely close to 1. The constructed curves are of two kinds: a curve infinitely close to a straight line and a curve infinitely close to the boundary of a bounded convex set. We shall see that the latter curve is a solution of the problem: find the curve of maximum resistance in nitely close to a given curve.
