摘要
We present a new class of curves which are self-approaching in the following sense. For any three consecutive points a, b, c on the curve the point b is closer to c than a to c. This is a generalisation of curves with increasing chords which are self-approaching in both directions. We show a tight upper bound of 5.3331... for the length of a self-approaching curve over the distance between its endpoints.
