The Hungerbühler–Wasem model sector #
The model sector of opening angle α at z₀ is the closed curve made of a radial segment
inward to z₀ along direction φ + α, a radial segment back out along direction φ, and a
circular arc of radius r sweeping α from φ round to φ + α, which closes the curve at the
point it started from. Both radii are traversed before the arc — the parameterization on
[-r, r + α] puts the corner at 0 and the arc on (r, r + α] — so the curve is traversed
from the far end of the incoming radius, not from the corner.
The geometry and closure hold for 0 ≤ r and 0 ≤ α, with r = 0 and α = 0 degenerate rather
than ill-formed; only the winding number needs 0 < r, so that the arc avoids its centre. For
negative r or α the two parameter intervals reverse and this description does not apply.
Its generalized winding number about its own corner is α / 2π — the value HW (2.4) attaches
to a corner of interior angle α when 0 < α < 2π, and the source of the ½ at a smooth
crossing and the 1/6 at a π/3 corner. Outside that range the formula still holds but the
corner reading does not: at α = 0 the two radii coincide, and for α ≥ 2π the arc wraps, so
the curve is a multi-turn swept arc rather than a sector.
The two radial segments are packaged as a single twoRayCorner, since neither has a principal
value on its own; the arc is a reparametrised circleMap.

The Hungerbühler–Wasem model sector of radius r and opening angle α at z₀, with the
incoming radius at angle φ + α and the outgoing one at angle φ.
For 0 ≤ r and 0 ≤ α: on [-r, r] it is the two-ray corner through z₀, running from
z₀ + r e^{i(φ+α)} in to z₀ and back out to z₀ + r e^{iφ}; on [r, r + α] it is the arc of
radius r from angle φ to φ + α, returning to the start. At r = 0 or α = 0 the
corresponding piece degenerates to a point. For negative r or α the two intervals reverse and
the branches no longer line up that way.

Instances For
Pointwise value of the model sector on the corner interval.
Pointwise value of the model sector on the arc interval.
On the corner interval the model sector is its two-ray corner.
The model sector is continuous: the two-ray corner and circular arc agree at their join.
The model sector is piecewise C¹. For nonnegative radius it is affine on the two rays and
smoothly parametrized on the circular arc, with corners only at the parameters 0 and r. The
opening angle is unconstrained: for α < 0 the parameter interval reverses, but the curve is
still built from the same three pieces.
The swept-arc curve has winding number α / 2π about its corner. The two radial segments
contribute nothing and the arc contributes its swept angle.
This holds for every 0 ≤ α, and is the roadmap's acceptance criterion. The curve is the
Hungerbühler–Wasem model sector of interior angle α only for 0 < α < 2π: at α = 0 the two
radii coincide, and at α ≥ 2π the arc wraps — α = 4π traverses the circle twice, giving winding
2. At both ends the formula stands; it is the corner reading that lapses.
A smooth crossing contributes winding ½ — the α = π model sector (HW (2.4)). This is
the coefficient of ord_i f in the valence formula: at the smooth boundary point i the contour
indents by a semicircle.
A π/3 corner contributes winding 1/6 — the α = π/3 model sector (HW (2.4)). The two
such corners ρ and ρ + 1 of the fundamental domain sum to the 1/3 coefficient of
ord_ρ f.
