Abstract

The article discusses the computation of envelope curve using calculus. It mentions the coordinate axes and specific nonlinear spacing functions. It notes that the technique used to determine the envelope is multivariable calculus. Furthermore, it also illustrates a connection to game theory wherein two-player, non-zero-sum sum game in which each player has two pure strategies available.
