Type of planar curve with tree-like structureIn mathematics, particularly in differential geometry, a tree-like curve is a generic immersion with the property that removing any double point splits the curve into exactly two disjoint connected components. This property gives these curves a tree-like structure, hence their name. They were first systematically studied by Russian mathematicians Boris Shapiro and Vladimir Arnold in the 1990s.
