The geometry of trifocal curves with applications in architecture, urban and spatial planning

In this paper we consider historical genesis of trifocal curve as an optimal curve for solving the Fermat’s problem (minimizing the sum of distance of one point to three given points in the plane). Trifocal curves are basic plane geometric forms which appear in location problems. We also an...
