Type of planar curve with tree-like structure
A tree-like curve with finitely many marked double points

In mathematics, particularly in differential geometry, a tree-like curve is a generic immersion c : S 1 R 2 {\displaystyle c:S^{1}\to \mathbb {R} ^{2}} 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.
