Singlearc

Singlearc is a term used in several technical fields to denote a single, continuous arc or arc-based concept. In geometry, a single arc refers to a connected portion of a circle bounded by two endpoints, characterized by its central angle and radius. In computer graphics and vector drawing, single-arc constraints describe drawing or fitting a curve that consists of one circular arc, as opposed to splines or polyline segments; this is used in CAD tools and font design to create smooth, precise curves with minimal control points. In orbital mechanics and trajectory optimization, a single-arc approach models a mission path over one continuous time interval, often simplifying the control problem by using a single thrust or flight path segment; this is commonly contrasted with multi-arc methods that break the trajectory into several arcs with separate controls or optimization parameters. The meaning of singlearc thus depends on context, and the term is often used as a descriptive label rather than a formal standard term.

As a proper noun, SingleArc may be encountered as a brand name, product line, or project title in various industries, though there is no single globally dominant entity associated with the term. See also Arc (geometry), Circular arc, Trajectory optimization, Multi-arc.
